So yesterday I talked about the upcoming nightstand book series which will be happening monthly and today I’ve got another new series or meme or column or whatever you’d like to call it. This one will be a weekly affair. And, in case you missed the big gigantic title at the top of this post …
I’ve been talking back and forth recently with fellow author Jenelle Schmidt about doing some cross-blog kinds of posts. And she had an idea of taking a post I did a while back about the books on my nightstand and turning it into a monthly occurrence. I think we’ve finally got the details worked out …
A quick update today to announce that the cover reveal for Through the Viscera is coming soon! As I’ve said many times, I am tickled to death with how this one came out. And there will be a desktop background to go along with it once it’s revealed. The date for the cover reveal will …
Treasure Planet is something of a cinematic anomaly. A re-telling of the Robert Louis Stevenson classic, Treasure Island (which I reviewed elsewhere), this Disney vehicle re-imagines the story in a space ship laden future but keeps many of the pirate and seafaring conventions which so strongly colored the original version.

Stevenson has the jargon down pat and really makes you feel like you’re part of the crew. For the most part, the journey is …
Huzzah! This is my 100th post! I don’t think too many people have been around since my first one, but if you have, let me know. I will send you a medal (or at least a piece of artwork). To celebrate, I thought I’d share a little more light-hearted fun. In the same vein as last …
So I’m currently in the throes of editing Through the Viscera, which is book 2 in the Chronotrace series. I’m on what feels like the millionth draft and sometimes it seems like I’ll never get finished. It’s such a long slog.
