Development Diary: Evergreen

In early November I had a dream that led to an idea, which eventually led to me starting a new book. This was something completely outside of either Citadel or Sawyer Jackson—a new, independent story that could stand on its own or become a series in its own right. I titled the story “Evergreen.”

Nick Thacker was so right (advice for focusing on the important)

If it's important, it gets done. But how do you decide what's important? Planning and scheduling have traditionally driven me into anxiety-fueled hysterics, but it doesn't have to be that way. Scheduling things is a way to prioritize what you need to accomplish, and help you focus on getting the important stuff done. And there's a tool that might help with that.

Writing day! Citadel: CoL in progress

Just wanted to drop a quick note. I know I've slacked off on blog posts this week, but it's all in the name of a worthy cause! Today I am spending the entire day working on Citadel: Children of Light!

You can track my progress on the Home page. Throughout the day I'll update with the latest word count, and you can watch that little meter fill up to your heart's content!

I'm incredibly grateful to you for being patient and supportive. And I hope this will be enough to get you excited about the book. It's a hell of a story, and I really cannot wait for your to read it!

Soon, my pretties. Soon.

Look who's talkin' about "Citadel: First Colony"

"Citadel: First Colony" is the first book in a series that is driven by character more than setting or circumstance. This series contains a group of characters I have come to love, and I truly believe they could be placed in any setting, from Downton Abbey to Doctor Who to Modern Family, and result in great stories. 

And because I think you will love them, too, I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is! Read on to find out how.

Citadel update - Outline progress!

"Good news, everyone!"

If you heard that in the voice of Dr. Farnsworth, then you're my kind of people.

But seriously ... good news! I've officially outlined the first three chapters and most of the fourth chapter of "Children of Light." Not as exciting as saying "I've officially WRITTEN the first three chapters," but we take what victories we can. And that's one.

Progress! "Citadel: Children of Light" begins, Books 1 & 2 get a refresh

Progress on "Children of Light!"

As promised, I am finally getting a start on this book. Also as promised, I'm re-releasing Books 1 & 2 with spiffy new covers, but even more importantly with spiffy new edits! There were goofs and glitches that bugged me about both books, and some pretty heinous ones at that. Some fairly stupid mistakes were made. And now, hopefully, they are all corrected [...]

The Three Reasons to Avoid Being Punched in the Face - Part 2

Read the second installment of "The Three Reasons to Avoid Being Punched in the Face." 

Elle had a thing for red.

“It’s bold,” she said. She’d said this more than once, as we perused the wares of the little clothing shop just a block from the record/comic/hot chocolate shop/post office, where I’d decided it would be a good idea to buy a new wardrobe for a near stranger. She had described nearly every item of clothing she’d picked up as some variation of ‘bold.’ The skirt was “pronounced.” The pants were “adventurous.” The gloves were “distinct.”
