Dong, Dong, Dong, three, it is morning. Tick, Tok, Tick, Tok, the grandfather’s clock on the first floor, takes cadence. At night, sounds get magnified, and all can be heard, even from the desolation and coldness of the basement. Darkness blankets my soul, and the hiss of the machines near me makes me want to shout. But there is something new tonight. I hear the crick of the front door and the…

The Assembly of Thirteen Female Characters

I wrote The First Two Companions, the first book in the series The Assembly of Thirteen, in 2016. The book was published on December 18, 2017, and after that, I rewrote that book three times. The book is in its third edition, and I may make a fourth. I changed the format. I added a timeline. I fixed some continuity errors and eliminated the author’s notes. However, the plot and the characters are…

This story is going to be a duology. I thought I would write a trilogy, but I merged the two books and finished the series in two books. Here I am going to give you the first unedited Chapter one of the sequel of Calixta. I…

Ultima Skylar Has Been a Pain in the Neck, Third Copy Editing,

I published Ultima Skylar last year in March, and ever since, this book has been nothing but a pain. I’ve had to Copy-edit this book three times and proofread it twice.  I have no idea why I’ve had so many problems with this one book. The first editor was an ammature. I knew he was starting in the editing business and wanted to give him a chance. I will never make that mistake again. The second…

I must Visit Japan Again. When Is Japan Going to Open Its Borders?

The first time I visited Japan was in July 2007, and the moment I landed at the Narita Airport, I fell in love. I spent fourteen days in the Land of the Rising Sun, and I enjoyed every minute.

They lived in Misawa, and I spent most of my time traveling around the…

Promises of War, The next book in the series The Assembly of Thirteen,

I’ve been debating whether or not I should finish this series. This series has a little following, and although it is my firstborn, It’s an ugly duckling, in my opinion. Don’t get me wrong, I love The Assembly of Thirteen, but the first book was my introduction to the world of writing, and I made so many structural mistakes that I know why the series crumbled. My father’s Uncle was a mason, and…

Creating Something New with My Pal

I did a book signing at a local book store and a lady asked me; are you creating something new? That is a question I’ve been asked by several people in different ways. When are you publishing a romance? Are you ever going to publish a YA story? Are you ever going to finish The Assembly of Thirteen? The last question is not in that category but is a question that needs an answer. The answer to…
