No new books this month, but the next few should be stacked.

I’m working on Star Wanderers: Deliverance (Part VIII) right now, and it’s coming along swimmingly.  Where the other novellas are pretty much character dramas in a space opera setting, this one is more space adventure with the character / relationship stuff under the surface.  It’s all about Mariya and Lucca, how they meet and end… Continue reading No new books this month, but the next few should be stacked.

Hey! Are you an aspiring writer / artist / creative whatever?

If you are, you really really really need to check out this webcomic about the three jaguars. It’s about the three main voices in every professional artist’s head, and how they bicker and play off of each other.  As someone whose been in the writing business for a few years, I can say that it’s… Continue reading Hey!

Cooking adventures and an awesome webcomic

So I have a bunch of ideas for blog posts I’d like to write, and I’ll probably get around to them eventually, but I thought I’d drop a line now just to let you all know what I’ve been up to.  It’s been a pretty good week, with some decent progress on the current WIP… Continue reading Cooking adventures and an awesome webcomic

N is for Nebula

Of all the objects in space, nebulae are some of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring.  These giant clouds of gas and dust span light-years, and often contain stellar nurseries where new stars (and with them, new planets) are born.  Few things can fill me with a greater sense of wonder than a detailed, high-res image… Continue reading N is for Nebula

I will turn this time suck into a powerful new writing motivator

Last night, I caved and bought the new FTL game that all my friends have been talking about. OMIGOSH. Six hours later, I was screaming in agony as my awesome starship went down in flames.  AGAIN.  In sector eight (on the easy setting, though, so not too impressive). Seriously, this game is AMAZING.  I haven’t… Continue reading I will turn this time suck into a powerful new writing motivator

Well, that was a quick revision

First of all, sorry for forgetting to do a Trope Tuesday post (again!).  I guess I’m really flaky about doing those.  Oh well–better to be flaky about blogging than flaky about writing, right? In fact, the reason I didn’t write-up the post was because I was busy doing a 2.0 revision pass for Star Wanderers:… Continue reading Well, that was a quick revision

Trope Tuesday: Space Cossacks

I’m going to take a break from the hero’s journey trope posts for a while, until I have the time to do them justice.  In the meantime, let’s have a little fun. Some of my favorite science fiction stories are the ones about a culture of nomadic starfaring people wandering the universe in search of… Continue reading Trope Tuesday: Space Cossacks
