A World Away – Chapter Six

Finally! Chapter 6 is up now on Wattpad. Thanks everyone for your patience. It's been a rough month for me, but I feel like I'm starting to pull it together again.

A World Away – Chapter 5 on Wattpad

I see I've missed mentioning when I've posted the last few chapters of this story. It's up to Chapter 5 now on Wattpad, if you want to get caught up. This is a romance, if you're not familiar with it. Also, it is a work-in-progress, so the final product may be slightly different from what …

Side Projects

Some stories take longer to gel in my head than others. The cast and crew of Revenants Abroad was nearly effortless. Andrej in particular, who was of course the genesis of the story, appeared in my head fully-formed, ready for action. Anne-Marie took longer for me to get to know. Neko ... what can I …

Backing Away

I Do It My Way

I try to write the best books I possibly can, and with my limited free time to devote to writing, it should be no surprise that it takes me a while to finish even a first draft. Once that's done, the revisions and rewrites begin before I allow beta readers to see it. This flies …

Revenants Abroad – Chapter 24

Chapter 24 is up now on Wattpad! This may be the longest yet, at 12 Wattpad-pages. If you're snowed in this weekend, or it's just too cold to be outside, it might be a good time to catch up on your reading. Four more chapters to go, then I'll give it about a week and …

Revenants Abroad–Chapter 21

In which our hero takes matters into his own hands… Neko and Anne-Marie are off to Greece, leaving Andrej and a couple of hired thugs free to do what needs to be done. Chapter 21 can be read free on Wattpad (and yanno, chapters 1-20 as well…) So here’s a thing. I’ve been contacted twice …
