  • With The Slayer Saga: Soulless out and ready for the masses (finally!), it’s time for me to sit down and reassess my goals for the remainder of this Round of Words in 80 Days. The thing with something like publishing a book is that it takes all your energy and focus and, once it’s finished,…

  • It’s a little difficult to focus on anything like a RoW80 check in when I’m on the cusp of publishing my second book! The Slayer Saga: Soulless comes out to the world on Friday, and the excitement is getting a little bit nuts. Thankfully, I have at least a shift to work tonight to get…

  • RoW80 Update: Selling Out.

    Things have been a little quiet on my side of the Intrawebz this weekend, despite having the weekend off from my part-time job.

  • Effective immediately, all of my RoW80 goals are being put on hold, so that I may focus on one single, solitary, gigantic one: the August 15th release of The Slayer Saga: Soulless.

Things have been kind of crazy around here, as I really buckle down and hone in on getting things done for the August 15th release date of The Slayer Saga: Soulless! I’m incredibly excited, ridiculously nervous, a little…

  • Author Quotes: Shaw.

    “When I was a young man I observed that nine out of every ten things I did were failures. So I did ten times more work.” -George Bernard Shaw. Interesting Literature posted yet another great set of quotes, this one from George Bernard Shaw, and this was easily the first to really grab me. It’s…

  • Well, I’ll cut to the chase about one thing before I get into my RoW80 check in: I didn’t get that apartment I fell in love with. The reason I didn’t get that apartment was because of something stupid I did when I didn’t know any better, that messed up my credit, and will not…
