What Goes Into Choosing the Right Editor for You?

February 27, 2024

Exploring what I need to complete the next book for publishing. Following suggestions from my beta readers, I’ve been working on doing another edit to Savagespace I – Alliances and Consequences. I added some color and details that were lacking, as well as removed some repetition. Further, I cleaned up a few other errors, tightened some dialogue, and reassembled certain paragraphs. The time has come to send the book to an editor. Once again, the

Why Is Marketing My Art So Challenging?

February 20, 2024

I’ve done a lot of marketing, but marketing myself is difficult. In case this hasn’t been made abundantly clear over the last few years, I’m an artist—specifically, an author. My main joy in creating art comes from creating sci-fi and fantasy worlds, books, and series. Since 2020 I’ve published 10 novels. Two complete sci-fi series (Void Incursion and Forgotten Fodder), and my standalone fantasy/Steampunk novel Infamy Ascending. Currently, I’m planning my next sci-fi series, Savagespace,

Farpoint: The Wrap-up of Con

February 13, 2024

Another year, another con complete. As I wrote last week, I attended my third Farpoint con. Once again, I got to hang out for a weekend with like-minded geeks, sit on a couple of very interesting panels, and even signed and sold a couple of books. My favorite part of attending the con as an author guest is the panels. Three of the four were amazing. It began with a Doctor Who Panel, where I

Preparing for Another Farpoint

February 6, 2024

My third year attending the sci-fi con is here. Towards the end of 2021, after publishing 9 books in 2 years, I determined that I needed to start attending more conventions. Searching for cons a reasonable distance from home, I discovered Farpoint Con in Maryland. While one of the predominant themes of Farpoint is Star Trek, they are a much wider-ranging sci-fi and fantasy con. At this con, they have a lot of interesting guest

What Does Overthinking Look Like and What Can You Do About It?

January 30, 2024

As a creative, this can manifest itself in multiple forms. Every creative has their own process. No two writers, painters, sculptors, chefs, or other artists are completely identical. Just like no two people, even identical twins, are completely identical. Yet there are patterns, behaviors, and other elements that are a general background people will fall into to one degree or another. Take writers, for example. By and large, we fall into two main categories –

The Challenge of Balancing Multiple Worlds

January 23, 2024

When you work as a creator on more than one project at a time. As a storyteller, one of the things I take great pride in is my ability to do worldbuilding. Among my already published works, I’ve created 5 different worlds. In two cases, entirely different galaxies. The rules of my worlds have many similarities, but then they veer in different directions for various reasons. The fantasy world of The Source Chronicles has its
