Blood and Suvudu

Getting a little nervous as ComicCon and the completion of The Desert Spear loom. With any luck, I will finish TDS just before I head out to the con. When I look back at what I’ve written over the last two years, I am very pleased, but there is still that nagging fear and doubt [...]

The Offensive

As you can see, I found a slightly larger image of the awesome cover of the third and final manga-sized installment of The Painted Man in Japan, which went on sale just the other day. Twilight Dancer looks big and badass, almost like he was a demon himself, which is exactly how he is described [...]

Sundry

Been very busy lately trying to finish the first draft of The Desert Spear. It’s close. I can smell it.
I can also smell baby formula. That stuff stinks, and it clings to everything. Yuck.
Anyway, a lot of topics I’ve been saving for blog posts have been piling up, and while some of them, like what [...]

What We Did Today

Since I started a 10pm – 4am writing schedule (the only quiet time in the house), I have some more time during the day to spend with Cassie. Who needs sleep, after all? It’s overrated.
Today was an exciting day. Cassie’s first attempt at eating cereal:

NY ComicCon

I love ComicCon.
I started out by going to the San Diego con, which became an annual trip with my and my evil twin/partner in crime Jay, and sometimes the lovely ladies in our lives. I was on the ground floor when ComicCon came to NYC, caught up in the ridiculous lines and fire-hazard overflowing room [...]

Leesha Fix

I don’t know if there’s anyone out there that loves Leesha Paper as much as I do, but if there is, and you want a quick Leesha fix to help tide you over to The Desert Spear, then look no further than my new Excisions page.

Deleted Scenes

I just posed another deleted scene on the new Excisions page: the original Rojer introduction chapter.
The scene is not my best work, which is why it was cut, but I learned a LOT from the experience, mainly about how it’s sometimes necessary to demand more of yourself than others do. I think budding writers might [...]

Upgrade

If you are a returning viewer, you may have noticed that the website looks just a little bit… awesomer than it did the last time you saw it. This has been a project many months in preparation, and my webmaster and very good friend Dave Wenk did a fantastic job of making it happen. The [...]
