Sometimes this blog gets buried underneath all the other crap I have going on in my life, and this past couple of months has definitely been one of those times. I’m a man of many projects, and sometimes I’m so busy working on those projects, I forget to take the time to write about them! [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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!
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 [...]
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling My rating: 4 of 5 stars In the Goblet of Fire, JK Rowling really begins to embrace the darker tone that she first begins to explore in the Prisoner of Azkaban, and the result is a book that I found more engrossing than any of [...]
Last Exit to Brooklyn by Hubert Selby Jr. My rating: 4 of 5 stars I really didn’t expect that it’d be so easy to find a book that’s even more depressing, startling, and at times outright uncomfortable than Requiem for a Dream, but all one really has to do is look to Selby’s earlier work, [...]
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 [...]
Twilight by Stephenie Meyer My review rating: 2 of 5 stars I’m going to go ahead and guess that my review of Twilight is going to sway neither the book’s legion of fans, nor its serious detractors. In all honesty, I’m kind of torn about reviewing the book at all. Its first-person protagonist is a [...]
