CHAPTER 5 of BLOOD ROUTES is UP
The comments sections are depressingly empty over there folks. Which leads me to believe that one of two things is happening:
1 - No one is reading

International Issue of Apex Magazine Posted
This month Apex Magazine presents a special “international” issue of their online magazine.Patient Zero – Book Review

When I Wish I Wasn’t a Writer
When people ask me what I do for a living, I am always at a bit of a loss as to how to answer. It sounds a little too highfaluting to announce, “I am an author.” You just can’t say that sentence without sounding like you graduated from Oxford, or that you [...]
Dream Versus Time, Life, the World, And All The Really Important Things
The holidays are coming. We’re arriving at an intersection of worlds – the real and the imagined, outer and inner, concrete and symbolic, the past and the now.
What must be done, what needs to be done.
Kids dressed up as monsters expect candy offerings. Blood-bonded friends and enemies gather for the ritual slaughter [...]
Long-Term Relationships With Your Characters
One of the things authors decide when they sit down to write is how long and drawn out their relationship will be with particular characters. There are short stories, novellas, novels, and then – at the far end of the spectrum, you find trilogies and the continuing series. Each of these involves a level of [...]
