New Years Update
Hello and Happy Apocalypse Year! Sorry for the silence lately but with the holidays and working on my second book my time has been scarce. I wanted to drop everyone an update though so here it is! Book 1 Awaken:
Sales have been pretty good considering I don’t have some advertising machine working for me all the time. Feedback has been very positive from everyone...

FIRST Lego League--Robots!
This weekend my wife and I were judges in the Washington State First Lego League robotics competition. It is a team oriented event that has kids within a similar age range (3rd to 8th grade seemed to be the range for this event) grouped together to build a Lego robot that performs missions inspired by a theme. At least that’s what it looks like on the surface.
I found it to be far...

Operation E-Book Drop
I was going to launch into a series of blog posts about my writing and how I went about certain things. I’m going to put that on hold for a couple of weeks. Why? I have a more important topic. That topic is Operation E-Book Drop.
Operation E-Book Drop is an effort founded by independent author Edward C Patterson and Smashwords co-founder Mark Coker. The project’s aim is to make...

Pants or Planning?
Since the release of my book out I’ve gotten a ton of questions about how I went about writing it. I thought that it would be easiest to just answer the non-face to face questions here on my blog. The winner of the question contest has been; do you plan everything out or just go by the seat of your pants?
Little did I know there are actual terms for these methods. Planner or...

And Here, We, Go
I’ve been published for roughly a week and already I’ve seen some good sales numbers and I’ve gotten some positive feedback. First of all, Thanks! I appreciate the time invested in reading my work and the additional time spent sending e-mails, Tweet DMs etc. Feel free to communicate with me. I may not answer the same day because I’m wiring or working the day job but I will...

One Small Step
It’s with much excitement and exuberance I write this blog post.
I’m a published author.
What does that mean? It’s hard to put into words if you haven’t been there but let me give it a go. Imagine that you’ve just won the lottery, found out you got that promotion you wanted, and met your favorite movie star all at once. There’s just this energy that fills...

$79 Dollar Kindle?? What the Wha?
So Amazon has once again exceeded expectations in the reader department. According to a report on Gizmodo the new Kindle Touch is $99. Yeah. $99. Wow. Amazon amazes me with its ability to cut the price on this device line. The Kindle Fire (Read Color) is only going to be $200.00 too!
The Fire is a cloud based device also and that means it will have access to content galore. Granted it...

Back At It!
I’m going to be honest. I haven’t done crap with this blog. I’ve been working on getting my book done as well as some short stories, researching for a second trilogy, doing book covers, starting a company, and working the day job. Oh, and let’s not forget being married.
Now that the excuses are out of the way…
I’m going to blog more. I realize that it is an...

First Post, Better Late Than Never.
Due to time constraints of my day job I haven’t really been able to break ground on this site.
Consider it broken!
Welcome! Come on in and have a seat.
I’d love to actually blog here every day but I won’t promise that. Honestly, I’ll be working on my book, working on other writing, and working on my art more than blogging.
I hope you like what you see and read. I know...
