Trigger Warning: Pet Death For those of you who aren’t following my social media, I had to put down Sherbert on March 21st. It’s taken me some time to put down what happened. We noticed she was drooling.  She only wanted to eat soft food, but she was drinking and using the litter box like normal.  So I called the vet, thinking it was a bad tooth troubling her.  We can get her in today, the…

Trigger Warning – death of a pet I had plans for the start of 2026. Because of personal things going on in my life, I wasn’t posting much here on the blog.  I had plans to change that for 2026  I have been busy doing research about how to run ads, social media, and getting into indie bookstores.   I’ve been crunched for time between the day job, helping raising my niece, and cowriting a new…

I have been in the odd situation of trying to navigate a new book release as the United States falls apart around me. I want to comment everything that has been done since the 20th of January, but I can’t keep up.  I know hitting us with so much so fast is part of the plan to keep us discouraged and unable to fight back by overwhelming us.  I am doing my best to keep abreast of the major changes…

A lot of people assume they know what werewolves are.  And at one time I thought I knew. Or I thought I did until I started doing research for the Jordan Abbey Series. Almost every culture on earth has a mythology about people who are able to transform themselves into animals. To lay some parameters, I’m going to talk mostly about Western European myths.  I don’t have the right or knowledge to…

So with Chaos Kin releasing in a little over two weeks, I thought I’d show you some of the music I listen to when writing or trying to catch a certain mood while writing the Jordan Abbey Series. Yes, some are a little on the nose.  But they do reflect my taste in music. You can listen to this on Spotify or on YouTube. All That I’m Living For – Evanescence Angels or Devils – Dishwalla Bad Moon…

Snowfall over a fir tree forest Wishing you and yours Happy Holidays!  And thank you for following me on this crazy writing journey.

What's this? I'm posting on my blog again?

Short answer, a lot, I came home from BayCon ready to share the wonderful time I had spending four days with friends, running and attending panels, and nerding out in general.  Except that two days after coming home, I tested positive for COVID.    Like you heard me mention on my email list, four years of avoiding getting sick was a good run.  I’ve had all my vaccinations up to that point.  So,…

I’ve been thinking about this for a long time.  I didn’t want to make a snap judgment.  But the more I look at it and research, the more I come to a decision about Generative AI.  When I speak about Generative AI, I’m referring to ChatGPT and to Midjourney and their assorted versions and variants. Generative AI, in its currently trained form, is something I cannot use in good conscience.  When…
