My Author Brand – Recording an Audiobook

Recording an audiobook has unique challenges. Back in college, I was a DJ on both campus radio stations. One of the stations – with a full FM broadcast signal – was one of the most popular in the college town. Even the larger university in town didn’t have a following nor presence as we did. I LOVED being a DJ. In fact, I had the privilege of working for pay – during the summer before

book smarts vs street smarts

Book Smarts Versus Street Smarts

Book smarts and street smarts both have a place in our lives. I think I was in high school when I started playing Dungeons and Dragons. Given my deep love of sci-fi and fantasy, D&D fueled that. I mean, c’mon, who doesn’t want to roleplay a mighty warrior wielding a sword, a sneaky thief, or a scary-powerful sorcerer? Even if it involves books, paper, and dice – imagination can take you to some really cool

For more than 20 years, I worked for companies from less than five employees to massive international corporations. For a

Why Should You Read My Stuff?

I would love for you to read my stuff. But how do I get you interested? I have been writing for most of my life. My first illustrated, sci-fi book was written when I was 9. The next, when I was 13. Then, on and off, I continued to write various fictions. In 1998, I started what would evolve into my fantasy series – The Source Chronicles. As I worked to go the traditional route

The Challenge of Plausibility in Writing

When it comes to science fiction, plausibility is an interesting question. For the most part, the fiction I write is in one of three genres. Fantasy, science fiction, and Steampunk. When it comes to fantasy, I get to make shit up. The worlds you create can operate with nary a thought towards certain scientific laws. What’s more, you can have fantastical creatures, other humanoids, and powers that don’t exist in our world and need ZERO
