    December is here!  Happy Holidays to those who celebrate. I’ve finished The Temple of Light, fifth book of the Shadow Space Chronicles.  I’m putting the finishing touches on the first round of edits and hope to have it to my beta readers soon.  With the holidays, that means it probably won’t be ready to publish…

    To say that I was excited about SpaceX’s mars plan announcements last month would be an understatement.  Their plan is ambitious and exciting and my first thought was: “where do I sign up?” For those of you who haven’t heard at this point, they want to transport people, 100-200 at a time, to Mars to…

    October… my favorite month for a number of reasons.  Not least of which is that I love the fall.  Lots of cool weather that’s perfect for curling up and reading/writing a book. I’ve been doing a lot of writing.  No, really, it’s about all I do in my free time.  Write and think about writing.…

    I generally don’t review remakes and normally I stick to science fiction or fantasy for my reviews of movies and books. I’m making an exception because I enjoyed Magnificent 7.  It was a fun, action-filled movie.  It didn’t drag out some long-winded message about how terrible our ancestors were (mine were over in Europe) or…

    August is here.  I’m excited because I’m doing edits on The Sacred Stars, the fourth book of the Shadow Space Chronicles.  I’m also outlining and starting an as-yet untitled urban fantasy story that’s destined to be sent off to a publisher.  My next book after that is the third Renegades book, which I’ll write in…

    Liberty Con is here and gone, so fast that I only now realized I forgot to take pictures.  I took notes, but I’ll apologize in advance if I leave out someone’s name or forget who said what, as I said, it was a busy weekend. The first day was a bit of a blur to…
