I’ve been trying to puzzle out where, exactly, the ‘little voice’ comes from. You know the one I mean. When we work, when we strain ourselves, when we step outside our comfort zones or make time for something significant, that’s when you hear it. It isn’t intrusive and it isn’t even all that whiny, but… Continue reading Lies We Tell Ourselves

Remembering Tony Scott
We’re not entirely sure why director Tony Scott took his own life. There was a rumor involving inoperable brain cancer, but his family has said he did not have that condition, nor any other major medical problems they knew of. Still, a great light has gone out in the world of cinematic storytelling. While some… Continue reading Remembering Tony Scott
Cold Iron Giveaway!
Let’s keep it simple, folks: I am giving away five copies of Cold Iron. While the buzz of the book has been positive overall, it’s also been relatively quiet. I need to amp up the signal, get more people interested, ensure that the work I’m putting out is, in fact, worth the asking price. I… Continue reading Cold Iron Giveaway!
Never Underestimate, Never Surrender
I think it’s safe to say that we all have dreams. I don’t just mean the kind where unicorns made of sherbet leap over rainbows in our heads when we sleep. I mean that people aspire to be more than they are, to take in sights they’ve never seen, engage in delights galore, and so… Continue reading Never Underestimate, Never Surrender
Cold Iron: Now Available
They found him wandering around Mount Grace Cemetery at 3 a.m. on a Tuesday. Detective Morgan Everson has gotten pretty acquainted with death. She sees it all the time, especially working the Special Homicide division in Philadelphia. But this case is new. In this case, the victim of the murder is also a potential eye-witness.… Continue reading Cold Iron: Now Available
Punishing Dirty Laundry
I’m going to go out a limb and post my initial reaction to a short film from San Diego’s Comic Con, which I will link you to right here. Holy. Shit. I haven’t said a lot about Marvel’s character of Frank Castle, a.k.a. the Punisher, since way back in 2010 when I wrote about our… Continue reading Punishing Dirty Laundry
Writer Report: Have A Plan
So while I continue to come to grips with the pulp science fiction yarn I want to spin, I may have started on a sequel to Cold Iron. On the one hand, it may be a bit presumptuous to already be writing a second story in a series when the first hasn’t been printed yet;… Continue reading Writer Report: Have A Plan
That Darn Cat
Meet Spark. Spark is a cat I adopted a few years ago when I moved out of my parents’ house. Living on my own proved to be a bit lonely, and I knew a friend who had been made aware of a cat coming from a broken home. The poor guy had been between a… Continue reading That Darn Cat
Constructive Communication
Given the debacles of the last week or so, and the ways I’ve seen back-and-forth going on several issues, it is past time for me to voice a gripe I have with certain behaviors people exhibit here in the wilds of the Internet. I will avoid naming names, but since without context I may as… Continue reading Constructive Communication
Writer Report: Traction
Starting a brand new story is proving more difficult than I thought. I’ve tried to start Captain Pendragon and the Planet of Doom twice, now, and I’m struggling, likely because there’s a part of me that knows this sort of thing has been done before. I’m trying to shake off the negativity and nay-saying, and… Continue reading Writer Report: Traction
