I was told a while ago that I should start doing author panels at conventions. Umm, what? Me, in front of a bunch of people. That sounds terrible. The closest I've come so far is doing a short author reading at an outside event. I was terrified for just that brief exposure. However, the thought… Continue reading Stretching My Comfort Zone

This Crazy Beautiful World
I grew up in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado where the dry heat in the summer brings out the sharp smell of pines and juniper and the snows in winter can stack up in feet and not just inches. Where sometimes it snows on the Fourth of July and lightning travels miles to strike a… Continue reading This Crazy Beautiful World
Sometimes It Gets Edited Out
Last week I posted about That Question. It’s one of the questions authors seem to get a lot.

It originally started as a shorter adventure… Continue reading Sometimes It Gets Edited Out

Stowaway
Note: After an adventure has run its course, I collect the posts together so readers don’t have to jump around the blog to re-read the story. Originally this spanned a month’s time, posting each Thursday and continuing according to how readers voted in the comments. The comments you see at the end now are therefore… Continue reading Stowaway
Debuting Discarded Dragons at Power Comicon
I told readers that I'd start a new pirate adventure today. I'm sorry 😞. I should have looked at my "masterplan," also known as my schedule, before I said that. I promise, next week will start the stowaway pirate adventure. This week, I'm going to have a geek out moment that involves comic conventions and Discarded… Continue reading Debuting Discarded Dragons at Power Comicon
