This blog post is very long (sorry!) and it contains several updates. Maybe you don’t want to read everything, or you don’t have the time to read it all. Here’s an index, so you can jump to whatever part is relevant to you. * Pre-order links for The Adversary * Why I took a hiatus […]
I’m now back home again, after my weekend in Denver visiting family. Sorry, guys, no blog post today, but at least I did share some photos of the trip. Right now, I’m unpacking and doing laundry, and getting ready for my work week. 🙂 But I WILL ask you this: what is everybody reading right now? […]
Good afternoon! Yesterday was my 56th birthday, and I received so many birthday wishes I felt truly grateful and blessed. It was a great day. In fact, it was so great that, even though I had decided I was going to work, I ended up only putting a half day of work in. For the […]
Like a lot of other writers, I use a music playlist to help with creativity. When I create new playlist, I’ll often list to it obsessively while I go over and over certain scenes in my mind. By doing this I can work out plot kinks, generate new ideas, and maintain a high level of […]
I’ve been mulling over what I might like to write about today, and I decided to touch base on all the work that readers don’t see when they decide to pick up a book. For example, I wrote almost 30K words on a series proposal earlier this year before deciding that I needed to scuttle […]

The time has come to say goodbye to Charlotte who has acted as my assistant for almost two and a half years. She’ll be exiting out of various tasks over the next week or so, and will soon stop posting on my behalf on social media. Since I have come to rely upon her good […]
I’m delighted to announce that I’ve committed to writing another three full-length novels in the Elder Races. I’ve developed a new story arc that I’m really excited about, and I can’t wait to share it with readers! Unfortunately, I was unable to make a contractual match with my publisher Berkley. After deliberating long and hard, […]
