Tome Tender: Time Heist Review
The reviews for Time Heist have been pouring in over the last few days and my cheeks are just blushing with all the positive feedback. As a writer you try not to pay too much attention to reviews (despite how important they are) for fear that negative feedback will suck out your soul like a…
Read MoreLego Back to the Future!!
I’m not gonna put too much effort into this blogpost seeing as how it’s a lazy Sunday morning and I’m still wearing sweatpants. But that’s okay, ’cause Back to the Future in Lego form pretty much takes care of itself. Sit back and relax.
Read MoreWriting Workshop: Pacing Your Story!

I took a short morning break from working on Mind Breach to churn out a little vignette for you guys.

Hey folks, it’s been a bit since my last blog post. I more or less fell off the face of the earth for a combination of reasons, but no worries, I’m back. In the next couple days I have all sorts of great new stuff for you including some book reviews, some rambling thoughts on…
