Meet the Team – Dr. Karin Cassels
Ready for some fun? My good buddy Boobulon has made me some nifty book-related artwork again to celebrate The Fall of the Midnight Scorpions. Now that the book is finally out, I’m ready to present them in profiles of the six main characters. I’ll include some backstory that didn’t make it into the final book, […]

Jumping on a Bandwagon
Heyo! I’m alive, the babies are wonderful, but blogging and writing has taken a bit of a backseat, as I expected. Also, I am apparently a masochist, since I let myself be talked into doing some work from home earlier than I expected. Meh, I might have gone back for a few days this summer […]

Coincidence vs. Influence
Back in September, I blogged (again) about those “oh, shit” moments I’ve had when realizing something I’ve written is very, very similar to something that already exists. It’s happened to me a couple times, but I’ve reassured myself that there’s always enough differences for it not to be a big deal. To recap that particular […]

Copycats
It’s been said for a while that there are no truly original ideas anymore. Which, well, maybe. I haven’t decided whether I agree or disagree with that, but I subscribe to the concept that it’s all about how you spin an idea and make it your own, and not whether the core ideas are similar […]

I don’t have an official release date yet, but I do have some fun stuff planned for the time leading […]

We Were On a Break!
I’m still taking a little breather from writing, and yes, still playing games. I finished the main part of Dragon Age: Origins, finished DA: Awakenings tonight, and I have one more DLC to go. I’ll probably play through a couple more of the origin stories, but I don’t know how many times I’ll replay the […]

The Slow Burn
In trying to keep up with the day job, hitting the promo trail for Second Skin, and doing the final edits before submitting The Fall of the Midnight Scorpions, I seem to have neglected this blog. Oops! (But I haven’t neglected Facebook and Twitter as much, so I hope you’re following me there as well!) […]

The End is In Sight
As of right now, Second Skin is set to release on Friday. Cross your fingers and mark it on your calendars! Nextly, it seems I have finally unearthed myself from the great big whopping pile of work I had. Of course it’s only a matter of time before things get crazy and I’m swamped again, […]

There Are No Small Characters, Only Small People?
(Or something? Yeah, I screwed that title up.) Not every character in a story is going to have a starring role. One aspect of writing that’s frequently on my mind is how to flesh out the minor characters and bring them to life, ranging from the secondary characters who tag along with the main group […]
