Pick My Author Photo!
Hey, folks! I’m doing this on Twitter and Instagram, and since this blog is the granddaddy of all my “social media” ventures, I should do it here, too. I am in the cover-design phase of The Savior Worlds, Book Four of … Continue reading
Thankfulness in 2020
This has been a truly ghastly year, and even the weather today as I write this is metaphorically on point: it’s drizzly and rainy and the screen on my library window is filled with raindrops so I can’t really even … Continue reading
Working….
If you’re wondering what I’ve been up to in terms of writing of late, here’s what! I’m doing some revision work on Stardancer, The Wisdomfold Path, and Amongst the Stars as part of a relaunch effort, at the same time that … Continue reading

Any time things wanna get BETTER would be great by me.
So, about that lack of updates in this space for something like nine days…this month has been rough, folks. First, there was the final run-up to the election, which was nerve-wracking in itself. Then Election Night was its own category … Continue reading
