For a very long time indeed, the price of Cold Iron remained at a mere 99 cents, just shy of a full United States dollar. I put my only published work ‘on sale’, and never rescinded that status. I got caught up in other events, life and love and loss and learning, and that price… Continue reading Back From The Dead

Twenty Sixteen
I’m not big on New Year’s resolutions. I mean, I get the concept. Setting a goal for the year ahead isn’t a bad thing in and of itself. Admirable, even. The problem I see is that few people really commit to changing themselves. Gym memberships go unused within a month or two, new diets get… Continue reading Twenty Sixteen
Returning to Flash Fiction
To say that things have been in upheaval lately would be an understatement. Things like “returning to a regular blogging schedule” and “maintaining a solid fanbase” have been something of a lower priority as I’ve sorted out housing, managed my barista schedule, and generally gotten more settled into this next phase of my life. How… Continue reading Returning to Flash Fiction
From The Vault: Fan Fiction Is Not Evil
Since one of my irons in the fire (more on that later) is now a fan fiction project, I thought I’d revisit my thoughts on the subject. That little piece I wrote yesterday for Chuck’s latest challenge is fan fiction. I’m comfortable with that. I don’t think there’s really anything wrong with fan fiction, per… Continue reading From The Vault: Fan Fiction Is Not Evil
Impala Nights: Part 1
I’m not the kind of guy who likes surprises very much. I never had much in the way of birthday parties to begin with, but surprise parties in particular always rubbed me the wrong way. I mean, you want to celebrate my life by trying to scare me to death? No, thank you. It’s really… Continue reading Impala Nights: Part 1
I AM NOT DEAD
Well, I suppose if you follow me on any social media outlets, you’re aware of the fact that I’m not dead. So this is non-news. BUT MY BLOG IS NOT DEAD EITHER. I am recovering from some truly reeling blows in my personal life, and slowly but surely establishing a baseline. Building a foundation for… Continue reading I AM NOT DEAD
Self-Care For Artistic Types
This is for those of you out there trying to create something new. Bucking trends. Swimming upstream. Letting your dreams come to life through one medium or another. You’re making art. Good. Please take care of yourself. I know, I know. Pot, kettle. I’ve been struggling with self-care, myself. Seeing therapists, taking medication, working through… Continue reading Self-Care For Artistic Types
I Am Not Okay
“Everything is terrible and nothing is not on fire.” I’m sure most of the people who read this know, but for those of you don’t, I’ve been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. This consists of cycling between two modes of thought and mood: depression and mania. In my case, as my disorder is less severe than… Continue reading I Am Not Okay
We'll Never Be Royals
“You should write about all of this,” my father suggested. “And then write a book about it.” He’s referring to some of the recent events in my life. Things that have changed it forever. Events have occurred that are forcing me to put the brakes on a lot of the interests and intentions that have… Continue reading We'll Never Be Royals
The Aftermath Review: Let Go Of Your Hatred
There are a lot of people out there who don’t, and won’t, like this book. I’m pretty sure I know why, and it has nothing to do with the plot or characters of Aftermath: Star Wars. It has to do with the book’s very existence. You see, Aftermath, written by Chuck Wendig, takes place between… Continue reading The Aftermath Review: Let Go Of Your Hatred
