That’s right; I just finished the second draft of the beginning of Star Wanderers, the novel that came out of nowhere like a surprise baby. I’m sending it out to my alpha readers now, so I can get some feedback before submitting it to Writers of the Future. If I know you in real life… Continue reading Star Wanderers 0.2 is finished!

Writer’s angst & post-convention ennui
In spite of the title of this post, I’ll try not to get too emo. Not sure how well I’ll succeed, but at least I’ll try. Worldcon was great, but it put me into something of a writing slump and I’m not sure where to go next. I was planning on writing the as-yet untitled… Continue reading Writer’s angst & post-convention ennui
T minus 24 hours and counting…
That’s right! After much wrangling, I formatted it this morning and published it to Amazon this afternoon. In less than 24h hours, it should be up for sale! In many ways, Bringing Stella Home is a lot different from Genesis Earth. For one, the scope is much larger, with the rise and fall of galactic… Continue reading T minus 24 hours and counting…
Desert Stars 3.0 is finished!
That’s right; after almost exactly two months of writing, the third draft of Desert Stars is now complete! This is the first draft where I feel that things are truly coming together the way they should be, where the story is transforming into something that not only works, but is actually fairly awesome. I’m probably… Continue reading Desert Stars 3.0 is finished!
The blog tour rolls on
I’m writing this post from Leading Edge (the internet is down at my apartment), so I don’t have much time, but I did want to take care of a few items of housekeeping. First, my next guest post in the Genesis Earth blog tour is up, this one at Charles Millhouse’s blog. Charles is a… Continue reading The blog tour rolls on
AHHH! It’s uploaded!
That’s right; just a few minutes ago, I uploaded Genesis Earth to the Amazon Kindle store. It’ll take about 24 hours to show up on the site, at which point the entire universe will implode and we’ll all become robots fighting for survival in an artificial reality. So get ready! That beautiful image on the… Continue reading AHHH! It’s uploaded!

Worlds Away from Home 2.1 is finished!
Yep, that’s right! I finished another novel, in this case the second draft of my fourth. It’s not without its flaws, but good enough that I won’t feel humiliated for life by sending it out to my first readers. Anyhow, here are the stats: Worlds Away from Home 2.1 ms pages: 450 words: 96,212 file… Continue reading Worlds Away from Home 2.1 is finished!
Beard pics and other updates
In case you didn’t know, I’ve been experimenting a bit with facial hair recently. I figure, hey, I’m no longer a BYU student, so I might as well, right? Well, the results are in, and I must say I’m quite pleased. I mean, check out how awesome I look: Alright, fine, so that’s actually Waylander… Continue reading Beard pics and other updates
Looking for alpha readers and planning the next project
Worlds Away from Home 2.1 is going along well. I had a hard time switching from Bringing Stella Home back to this other project, but I’ve got some good momentum going and assuming no major interruptions, should be able to do about 3k words a day for the rest of the week. Then again, if… Continue reading Looking for alpha readers and planning the next project
