2015- Woah.

Well, I can't say I'm sorry to see 2015 end. There have been some serious low points. BUT overall 2015 has been the most sucessful year I've ever had. BIG BIG things are coming. And so I'm sharing a list of all the things that happened this year and a sneak peak at where we are headed. Thanks so much to all of you for your support and your love and your reviews and for reading. I could not be doing all of this without all of you. :)

So here's what went down this year

Death and Other Ends released: April 10, 2015

I did a podcast appearance with Dave Robison, Mike Luoma and Andrew Weston for The Roundtable Podcast!









Voices In Poetry happened and morphed into Words In Progress!
I am the director of these programs, which bring poetry and short fiction workshops into local schools. We are entirely grant funded and the programs release publications at the end of each one. Our first publication: 
 The Book is currently available for puchase and all proceeds go towards funding future workshops.Our next publication: Words In Progress Volume 1 will be released in the spring of 2016.














As if all of that wasn't enough: I was signed with The Ed Greenwood Group!
TEGG is the first of it's kind. An interactive publishing group that is helmed by Ed Greenwood (The Archmage himself) the renowned author of The Forgetten Realms books and game setting for Dungeons and Dragons. This is an incredible place, with settings for everyone: Fantasy, Science Fiction, Paranormal, Romance, Erotica, Horror, you name it, we have a setting for it. I will be writing books for the Winterknight Towers setting, with my first novel The Renshouse Affair releasing in 2018. I will also be the acting Lore Guardian as well as an Author for The Great Galactic Game setting. For this incredible science fiction world I have gained a partner. An incredible artist and engaging voice: Dan Barrett.  Our first book for this setting is scheduled to release summer of 2019 and is entitled: The Laird's Ken. For more information on TEGG or either of these settings please visit OnderLibrum.com.  You can also visit the currently active setting HELLMAW and delve into the world of Daemons with currently available titles: Your World is Doomed by Ed Greenwood, Dragon Dreams by Chris Jackson, and Blind Justice by Erik Scott de Bie



And last but certainly not least. I've added some incredible people to my team.
 My creative partner Dan Barrett is a graphic artist and writer that has added imagination, depth and a wealth of knowledge to my science fiction creations and I am so incredibly thankful for him.











And my fierce editor Michalea Moore is an author as well as an editor and my friend. She shows me no mercy and I love every minute of it. Her insights have been and will continue to be invaluable in my writing now and for years to come. She is also an author and is finishing up her first novel Queen of Heka


Thank-you again everyone for such an incredible year! More to come in 2016!


Best Wishes and Happy New Years!

When Authors Write With Other Authors

So, I'm sitting at the local Panera, getting ready to focus and work on my first novel for The Ed Greenwood Group and I have my fellows around me. Michalea Moore and Jerilyn Dufresne work in entirely different genres so getting their take on the world is a nice step outside of my own little box. It's an interesting set up that allows for me to focus even though I'm surrounded by the public at large and speaking the atmosphere is extremely conducsive to productivity. Something I had not expected.

But, hey, the words are happening, so stayed tuned: The Renshouse Affair releases October 2018
