Project Status Update

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

It’s been almost eight months since we moved to Indianapolis, where I had planned on dedicating more of my time to working on my personal projects. I’m pleased to say that I’ve been largely successful in this! I’ve got a lot going on, and it’s sometimes a bit hard to juggle everything. These periodic update [...]

November NaNoWriMo

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Sorry for the month without updates. This has been a particularly hectic month for Charlotte and I – she’s busy with schoolwork and establishing a translation business (for which I’m designing and building the website), not to mention learning to drive and occasionally substitute teaching at the International School. I’ve been busy with work, and [...]

Guest Blog – Vampires as Modern Day Heroes

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

I’m guest-blogging for the first time in my life today, over at Reading with a Bite, an independent book news and review blog dedicated to vampire fiction and more. Here are the first few paragraphs: Much ado has been made over the current “vampire trend” and its potential longevity. People are curious: why and how [...]

The Blood That Bonds is Live

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

It was a lot of work, but I’ve finally launched TheBloodThatBonds.com. The site is dedicated to promoting my novel, which I’ve released as a free eBook in a variety of formats (with more coming). Please check it out and forward it to anyone you think might be interested!

Updates on My Projects

Friday, August 28th, 2009

It’s been a bit since I talked about the various things that I’m doing, so I thought I’d give some updates. It’s been a very busy couple of months since I got to Indy (though I’ve still managed to find time to waste on a replay of Fallout 3!). Dart Publishing The personal business project [...]

The Blood That Bonds News

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

As some of you may know, but most of you don’t, The Blood That Bonds just spent a year in submission over at St. Martins Press. The editor to whom I had sent it recently got back to me, and they unfortunately won’t be buying the book – the basic gist was “you can certainly [...]

Sometimes I Write Poetry

Sunday, January 18th, 2009

It’s a rare occasion, I’ll admit, that my writings diverge from the path of traditional narrative and forge ahead into the largely unexplored (in my case, anyway) realm of poetry, but it does happen. Largely when I write poems, I do so as an exploration of the language. They’re structural in nature, focused on rhyme [...]

Voices – Finally Done

Friday, January 2nd, 2009

Sorry I couldn’t get to the computer yesterday, but no worries — I’ve made all of the rest of Voices available in the Writing section, starting at Page 83. It’s good to finally have it all up. I’m still happy with this story … it’s not going to win me any Pulitzers, but it’s fun [...]

Voices Rolls Along

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

For some reason I’ve got the song “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” stuck in my head today, a fact which is making my lovely wife mildly perplexed (and will probably make her mildly annoyed after I bust out singing the chorus for like the twentieth time). On that exciting, autobiographical note, here now are the [...]

Voices Week Continues – Chapter 7!

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

I’ve unleashed all eleven pages of Voices Chapter 7 in the Writing section, starting with Page 64. Our fearless band of adventurers have put their plan into action, but things don’t go quite the way they were expecting. Excitement, terror, and explosions await in the latest pages! Half of Chapter 8 coming tomorrow, the other [...]
