Status Update and Paperdolls
Before I start throwing end-of-the-year posts around, I figured I’d give a small update. Book 3 is still chugging along with the rewrite; I’m four sections from finishing the 34th chapter (of 36), but since this is all combat, those … Continue reading
Trope Roulette: My Instincts Are Showing
It’s been a while, but I’m ready for a second installment of Trope Roulette! The idea is to visit that evil time-sink of a site, TVTropes, and hit the Random button until I find something I can talk about. This … Continue reading

Ten Books
Since everyone has been doing the ’10 Books That Have Stayed With You’ challenge recently — so many that Facebook actually compiled 130k of them to make a set of statistics — I figured I might as well. After all, … Continue reading
Miscellaneous Art 1

Halion Creatures 3

Book 3 Cover Process #1
Ahh, the book cover work-in-progress posts. I love doing these because I get to ramble about my and D. D. Phillips’ bickery decision-making, and hopefully you folks like them too! Book 3, titled The Living Throne, is still in major … Continue reading
Influences: Pulse (and other Supernatural Horror)
I haven’t done an Influences post in a while, which is weird because I’d yet to talk about one of my biggest influences: supernatural horror. I may present mostly the superficial fantasy trappings on this blog, but my dreams get … Continue reading
What I Do With My Downtime
Not that anyone asked, but since I’m taking a few days to cool down between finishing the rough draft of The Living Throne and starting the edits, I thought I’d give a glimpse at what I do when I’m not … Continue reading
