I love my ghost friends: JJ, Jesus, Banquo, and all the rest–they are so real to me. With three novels down and a fourth in the works, I must. My “A Ghost’s Memoir” world (Shuffled Off, Drawing the Dead, and To Be a Fool) with it’s SECI chamber (basically a typewriter for ghosts) just begs for more stories […]
Writers are strange. Their imagined worlds are often so compelling that the “real” world has trouble keeping up. Writer brains are different, they will imagine a character they love and then imagine all the ways they can make that characters life a living hell (often with a triumphant ending, of course). They think about story […]
I love myths. I love the grand displays such stories can make. Heroes can be heroic. They can display courage and sacrifice themselves for the greater good. They can face their fear and overwhelming odds and still take action. And that’s fun to watch. Superheroes stories are modern myths. My latest superhero/love story adventure is […]
My new novel, To Be a Fool: A Ghost’s Memoir, Book 2 is here and I’ve got a huge sale going on! Well, partially here. The ebook is out and the print book will be coming soon (I’m taking preorders for it now). This book begins right where Shuffled Off ends, furthering the adventures of […]

This is the first part in a series on my novel, Drawing the Dead In this installment I talk about the formula for how I wrote this novel. A behind-the-scenes look at the parts that made up the whole. Before we get started, here’s the blurb for the book, so you know what it is […]
I am very excited to announce that my second novel, Drawing the Dead, is almost ready! I have a sample of the print edition in my hands and only a few things remain left to do. I expect the novel to be out sometime in April. So, it’s time to make introductions. The Blurb First off, here’s the back […]
It’s been a long time since I’ve had any writing news to report. Not that I haven’t been writing, I have. And writing a lot. I just haven’t gotten anything new out the door. Much is coming next year, though (see below). Today I want to talk about two stories now available in print. New […]
I am struggling with how to introduce my next major release. Should I talk about my writing process and how this project came about? Should I talk about motivation, give you a peak into my strange brain. And all of that is pretty interesting (at least to me), but not really that important. It’s the […]
