Hello everyone,
My ostrich-like work ethic means that I frequently have my head buried in the sand when it comes to updating anything but the word counts on my projects.
So let’s recap! Continue reading

Update: The Rifter #74 up for pre-order!
Hello!
Palladium Books will be featuring an article of mine, “Rifts® Karimyo, Pecos Empire” in their upcoming issue of the Rifter! It describes a small community within the Mad Max-style wasteland of the post-apocalyptic southwestern US in the age of Rifts. Here’s a link to the pre-order page; keep your eyes peeled for its release!
More updates to come, but as ever I am very busy with various projects at the moment. When I have something to report, I guarantee that I’ll post it here before anywhere else!
Update: Trese Brothers Interview 2
I’ve had a great time working with Trese Brothers Games thus far, and sat down with them (so to speak – I was sitting down) for a brief interview. You can find the link to that here, complete with links to our 2 eBooks. The full transcript of the interview is also included below. Enjoy! Continue reading
Update: It’s Coming…
Won’t be long now!
Trese Brothers Games is releasing my new eBook Subjective Vengeance as early as tomorrow! I’ll be posting as soon as it’s up, but for now here is the product description that will accompany the eBook on iBooks, Google Play, and Amazon. If everything goes according to plan (and we know how often that happens) then it’ll be up bright and early on Saturday.
Stay tuned for more!
Flash Fiction: Forever, Whatever
On this Leap Year Day, here’s a piece of flash fiction based on this temporally-relevant writing prompt from Reddit’s r/writingprompts board. Enjoy!
Prompt: “You know the problem with immortality? Eventually you just stop caring.” Continue reading
Hunting Ground
For this post, I’m sharing a submission I sent in for a contest last year, related to a Warhammer 40,000 game produced by Games Workshop and Behaviour Interactive. It wasn’t accepted, which is fine (and the bald patches from tearing my hair out have almost filled in, so that’s great) but I figure it’s something that might appeal to my readers, whether you know the game or not.

Back to the Future (Or, How I Avoid Copyright Infringement with a Second Title)
Sixteen years ago, if you’d told me that one day I’d be under studio lights with Chris Somos asking me to ‘hold that pose, yeah, just like that’ from behind a camera, my puberty might’ve become a fair bit more confusing than it already was.
But it happened. There’s proof. One surprisingly cold night in October of 2015, I found myself having a surprisingly good time in a photo shoot with one of my oldest, dearest, and surprising friends.
I Am Workahol and So Can You!
First, an update:
– My eBook Subjective Vengeance will be released in 2016 after all. It’s nobody’s fault, just the holidays kicking into gear and both Trese Brothers and I being very busy overall. It’ll be an early 2016 release, no worries about that. Stay tuned for more.
Now, to the rest:
I’m lucky enough to be friends with a kind fellow who possesses tickets to go see Star Wars: The Force Awakens tonight, Thursday the 17th! (Bit weird to be typing out the whole title, I feel like you don’t need to say Star Wars because people will know what you’re talking about but it’s my first opportunity to say ‘go see Star Wars’ in almost 20 years without prequels being involved, so leave me alone.)
Having finally wrapped up Christmas shopping for the season and liquor to sneak into the theatre tomorrow, I came home tonight just to write a post and spend the rest of the night off. I’ve been working myself to the bone, especially the past couple of months, and I’m taking it a bit easier until the new year starts. But tonight actually held a somewhat rude awakening to the extent of my workaholism.
See, I decided to write out maybe 500 words of flash fiction to post here and call it a night. I went looking for writing prompts, but didn’t like any of them. So instead, I went back to an idea I’d been noodling for a while and decided to write it on that. 2000 words later, here we are and I’m writing this post instead and polishing up a new short story for the first round of 2016 writing contests. And I feel more relaxed than I have in days of taking it easy.
My vacation is going to be interesting.
Enjoy whatever solstice-based festival you call whatever it’s called! Christmannukwanzaturnalia for everyone!
