Writing Heroes
One of the things writers often do is try to model their career path on another writer that they admire. Or maybe they simply wish to write within the genre of their favorite writer - not to be them but to emulate the feeling they get from reading that author’s books. And there is…
Book Release in 1 month
The next volume of The Grimoire Detective is due out next month. On April 5th, Forgotten Child will be released, but the book is available for Pre-order now! A group of children has been kidnapped from a local orphanage, and the police are baffled as to the ‘who’ and the…
Another drawing of the goddess Orithina from my stories and books is now up. She has her sword, Eternity (Aionitas in Ancient Dragon), and I had fun with her position. You can get stickers, mouse pads, blankets, etc.

Post from Julia Fine that says, "Write the book you want to read because you will have to read it 75 times."

Made some slutty versions of my twin goddesses from my books and Orithin stories. These images aren’t canon, but I did have fun making them.
Orithina and Valrdis

Overnight Success
Everyone should know by now that there is no such thing as an overnight success. In fact, the joke is that it takes ten, fifteen, or even twenty years to become an overnight success. I think the longest reference I ever saw was Scatman Crothers claiming it took him fifty years.…
State of the Pulp – Feb ’26
It’s the final day of February - the shortest month of the year. When I say that this month flew by fast, it really flew by fast! Welcome one and all to this month’s State of the Pulp. My monthly word revenue this month was just over 42 K words. Most of this was…
Someone set up a Ko-Fi page today to start sharing short stories and blog posts through!

Well, we got another blizzard here in the Northeast. If it snowed where you live, we hope you're enjoying it. 😈
Father Writer
As a parent, I know that many writers try to find that balance between being a parent and a writer. I have been asked a few times how I manage to do it. So, this week, I am going to be writing about Parenting and Writing, as a Father Writer. I am a father of four children. As such, I…
Stay True to Yourself
Lately I have been facing the struggle that many writers often face. There is that old enemy of mine showing it’s ugly face again, bringing annoyance into my life. You know him - you probably hate him - it’s that frigging Self-Doubt! And he is trying to make me not want to…
You're always incredible
Best Parts of Writing
Do you want to know my favorite part of writing? Because there are so many pieces to being a writer from idea to final story, and everything in between. But my favorite part? The thing that brings me joy as a writer? Challenging myself with a new goal. I have been blogging…
Drew a headshot of a pretty major character in The Legend of Aerrow Fionn series and a major player on Orithin in general. I’m working on a secret project that may or may not require me exploring her on different angles. Anyway, meet The Black Phoenix Dragon

Fear of the Page
I had a very real fear grip me in January. As I started trying to figure out my next series, I had a few moments of panic set in. What if it’s no good? What if I fall out of love with it? A bunch of questions that no one asked me but me and then I realized. I had a Fear of Facing…
State of the Pulp – Jan ’26
Well, this is a day late, which means that somehow life got away from me. I was lying in bed and at 2 am I realized I had forgotten to do my State of the Pulp! What an insane time of year. Living in the northern mid-west of the United States mean a lot of cold and a ton…
I just want the people that are doing the really bad things to pay for doing the really bad things and it feels like that’s not gonna happen
A Tale of Two Genres
I’m not going to begin with a bad misquote from Dickens here, but I would like to talk about mixing genres and finding your niche in the world of story telling. The days of having broad genres is well behind us, though it has only be in recent years that we have exploded. No…

Pre Writing
I have been spending the past week doing what I call pre-writing and I thought that this would be a good post to share on a part of my process. One of the things that many writers struggle with is starting their stories. Sometimes they fight the losing battle of the perfect first…
