We’re coming to the end of this grand journey. Last night, I applied all the notes I got from my Copy Editor, while constantly shouting “I’m so sorry, Dylan!” the entire time. I had mucked up some continuity with how dialogue is portrayed (specifically when two people are having conversations telepathically, sci-fi is fun.) Dylan was professional and patient, and he hasn’t found me yet to strangle me for what I put… Read More

Version 1 was 332 pages in Word, but it was about 760 pages in reality due to the word count. I didn’t realize how massive of an edit I would be making after this milestone. After about 7 full edit passes later, I widdled SIRENS down by about 30,000 words. Cut content included: -A full description of Eliana and her father preparing and embarking for Kamaria, originally they were involved in the… Read More

Been a busy busy busy month! First off, it is with a heavy heart that I report that Michael Reimer is stepping down from his role of audiobook narrator of ON THE WINDS OF QUASARS. I fully understand and respect his decision, and I am so glad I got to work with him on IN THE ORBIT OF SIRENS. Best of Luck, Mike! It’s been awesome. That being said, I will be… Read More

Jason will be starting up illustrating soon, and Daniel will begin the cover design late January. We sort of… Read More

I am floored by this post by B-Man at the Tipsy Trope!

B-Man has a bunch of excellent content, and I encourage you to check out his channel for… Read More
