Book of the month - Opening Gambit

Self-Promotion Saturday – Opening Gambit

July 9, 2022

Welcome to Self-Promotion Saturday! This week, I am offering my first sci-fi novel. In another galaxy, a multitude of races live. Numerous worlds have been colonized, various societies and nations created – and for the most part, despite their many differences, there is peace. But then, a new threat emerges. Extragalactic attackers begin surgical strikes against the forces of multiple races. But why? Opening Gambit is the first novel in my epic Void Incursion sci-fi/sci-fantasy

How Do Authors Make Their Stories Come Alive?

July 5, 2022

Let’s explore three primary ways to make fiction come alive and feel real. I have done a lot of reading over the years. Books are one of my greatest loves. It doesn’t matter what form they take. Paperback, hardcover, Kindle, audiobook, or other – I love books and stories about fantastic worlds and unique characters. To some degree, this is escapism. When I sit down to read sci-fi or fantasy, I am leaving the world

When You’re Living in A Dystopia Why is Writing Fiction Challenging?

When You’re Living in A Dystopia Why is Writing Fiction Challenging?

June 28, 2022

I am not a fan of the growing dystopia that is our world today. As a reader of sci-fi, I’ve enjoyed many dystopian stories, including Snow Crash, The Hunger Games series, Ready Player One, and others. As an author of sci-fi, the nature of the second-class status of the military clones in my Forgotten Fodder series – after they have no purpose – fits into the dystopian genre. I think the appeal of dystopian books

Slow Creative Work is Still Better than No Creative Work

June 21, 2022

Creative work at any pace is still creative work. In 2020, following a few fits and starts, I buckled down and completed the work to publish 3 novels. This included the first two Void Incursion sci-fi/sci-fantasy books and the standalone Infamy Ascending fantasy. For 2021, I had a much more ambitious plan. I would publish 6 books in total. There would be the 4 planned novels of my Forgotten Fodder clone sci-if series and two

Writing is Writing and All the Writing You Do is Right for You

Writing is Writing and All the Writing You Do is Right for You

June 14, 2022

The writing you do – whatever form it takes – is right for you. This applies to all chosen paths. There are nearly 8 billion people on this planet. Among us all, there are a lot of different things that we do, desire to do, and can do. Some are tasks and chores we are not so fond of. Others, though, come easily and bring us joy. However, it’s easy to see the things that

How Do I Develop More Trust and Faith in Myself and my Arts?

How Do I Develop More Trust and Faith in Myself and my Arts?

June 7, 2022

I think more trust and faith in myself would open more doors. Cheesy as this might read – I know my purpose in life. What is it? I’m a storyteller. Some of the stories that I tell are pure fiction. Or, more specifically, sci-fi and fantasy. Other stories are life lessons via mindfulness, conscious reality creation, and positivity. Storytelling on my part is to entertain, inspire, and help where and how I can. My greatest
