I apologize, the last few posts have been shamelessly plugging my own book, but I promise, that’s behind us….for now. Let’s get back to the basics and review a couple books I read last week. But wait, hold up, before we do, I’ve got a little proposition for you. So, uh… why don’t you shuffle…

The reviews for Time Heist have been pouring in over the last few days and my cheeks are just blushing with all the positive feedback. As a writer you try not to pay too much attention to reviews (despite how important they are) for fear that negative feedback will suck out your soul like a…

I’m not gonna put too much effort into this blogpost seeing as how it’s a lazy Sunday morning and I’m still wearing sweatpants. But that’s okay, ’cause Back to the Future in Lego form pretty much takes care of itself. Sit back and relax.

I took a short morning break from working on Mind Breach to churn out a little vignette for you guys. It’s short, and rough (no proofreading or spell-check for this guy!), but I thought I’d share it to give an inside look into my first-draft process.

The intention behind this blog…

Jupiter Ascending, the latest from the Wachowski brothers (the guys that brought you such classics as The Matrix and Cloud Atlas), had me really psyched after seeing the trailer a couple months back. So psyched, in fact, that I made a little blog post about how psyched I was. Stunning visual effects plus an all-star…

It’s coming a day late, but I have a feeling you’ll forgive me… right? *ominously waves a pair of children’s scissors* And yes, that’s a threat. Forgive me my tardiness, or else! Oh, really? Just like that? Well, thank you. I didn’t expect that to be so easy. You’re very agreeable. *ominously puts pair of…

Alright, I left you on a cliff-hanger yesterday and I know, I just know, you’ve been dying to hear the rest of my thoughts on the anthology of short stories, No Way Home. Well, wait no longer, for it has come…the rest of my review. Cue the drum circle. What do you mean we have…

I received No Way Home (an anthology of short stories) from Michael Patrick Hicks as an Advanced Review Copy. Typically I don’t do ARC copies 1) because if it’s a book I really want to read I’d rather just buy it and support the author and 2) because it makes me feel subconsciously obligated to…
