So Sunday afternoon, I boarded a train with most of my earthly possessions (at least, all of the ones I care to enjoy for the next year) and headed out to Utah. I arrived Tuesday night, without a car, a job, or a place to live, but things have been working out really well so… Continue reading Back in Utah…again!

Oh hey! Happy Thanksgiving!
Funny how holidays creep up on you when you’re in a foreign country. We have Friday off here in Georgia, due to an Orthodox religious holiday. I’ll probably head east and check out the Stalin museum, maybe Mtskheta and Qazbegi depending on the weather. A friend of mine in Tbilisi said she’d get me a… Continue reading Oh hey! Happy Thanksgiving!
New print proof and an update on Star Wanderers
So the proof for Desert Stars came in the mail today, and it looks great! It’s available now from CreateSpace, if you want to pick up a copy. If you’d rather buy it on Amazon, it should go live there in a few days. And if you want to buy an autographed copy of this… Continue reading New print proof and an update on Star Wanderers
One Confirmed Kill by Peter Johnston
The best description of this book that I think I could give is the disclaimer at the front: The following is not fiction. The characters and events described are closely based on real life, and any resemblance to real persons, organizations and events is purely intentional, and should be construed in the most negative light… Continue reading One Confirmed Kill by Peter Johnston
Getting settled in the land of the Kartulis
About three weeks have passed since I came to Georgia, and I’m starting to feel comfortably settled in this new place. I like it a lot out here: my host family is great, I get along really well with everyone at the school where I work, the kids are so crazy eager to learn it’s… Continue reading Getting settled in the land of the Kartulis
Wolfhound by Kindal Debenham
Jacob Hull may be just a spacer’s son, but he’s not afraid to dream big. As an ensign in the Celostian Navy, his biggest dream is to pilot a destroyer like the Wolfhound, the brand new ship on which he receives his first assignment. But when pirates attack on their training exercises and drive them… Continue reading Wolfhound by Kindal Debenham
Tomorrow, tomorrow
So, I was going to finish Stars of Blood and Glory today…and then I went and spent some time with an old friend, had some dinner and spent the evening with the missionaries…long story short, I think it would be better just to wait until tomorrow than to do a rush job tonight. I’ve only got… Continue reading Tomorrow, tomorrow
Quick update and Star Wanderers cover previews
First off, I’m happy to say that Stars of Blood and Glory is coming along quite nicely. I’m currently finishing up with the last couple of chapters, and should have the first draft done by the middle of next week. Hopefully by then I’ll know if and when I’m starting my TEFL job overseas, but I’m… Continue reading Quick update and Star Wanderers cover previews
Back from Texas, or My Last Day in Provo
So! My Christmas vacation in Texas is over, and I’m on the road again, hanging out here in Utah before catching the train to my parents’ house in Massachusetts and (hopefully) going overseas before the end of the month. It was a great break! Great to see my niece and three nephews together. I swear,… Continue reading Back from Texas, or My Last Day in Provo
Trope Tuesday: Space pirates with Kindal Debenham
For today’s Trope Tuesday post, I thought it would be fun to bring on my friend Kindal Debenham to speak about one of the tropes in his new book, Wolfhound. Kindal and I were in the same writing group in college, and attended Brandon Sanderson’s English 318 class together. I just picked up a copy… Continue reading Trope Tuesday: Space pirates with Kindal Debenham
