  • Social Media Updates

    It’s been a whirlwind the last few weeks, as I have attended four events in that time. My last booked event for the year is coming up this Sunday, November 16th at the Crowne Plaza. I’m planning separate posts for these events. The purpose of this post is to inform…

  • Book recommendations

    I’ve been asked alot lately about book suggestions particularly in fantasy, and the question actually made me ponder. As a fantasy author, I do love fantasy, but actually I have not read anything new in fantasy in a long time. Why? Well, it wasn’t a super conscious decision, but it…

Writers process experiences, memories, and encounters by absorbing and then molding them into something tangible: words on a page. Through either fiction…

  • Living my writing

    I’ve been attracted to the art of the fight since I was a small child, probably 7 or 8, and I think a large part of that was my father. Some of my favorite memories with him were watching WrestleMania or any of the other pay-per-views of that time. Eventually,…

  • The physical & the spiritual

    In the past few weeks, I have attended a few local author events and had the privilege of spending a little bit of time getting to know the authors. For me, it’s energizing to speak with them and hear about their books and their journey into publishing. With every book,…

    What an amazing week just passed by! On Sunday, I signed up to be a vendor at the Utica Anime Fest, and it was amazing! I met so many very cool people and had a lot of fun. I will be doing a post very shortly where I will speak…
