First off,…

  • Silver Universe song

    To celebrate the completion of the Silver series, I have something amazingly cool to share with you all: a custom song from the world of the novels! I wrote the lyrics and local composer Mitchell Fund wrote the music. It’s meant to be a folk song the Were characters might sing, coming out of a…

I haven’t found word counts particularly represent my effort in any meaningful way, however (especially given the difficulties of calculating a word count to represent revised material), so this year I tried out a visual representation of what I worked on: These are based on ranges,…

    I just updated my appearances list for 2017, and you may notice there aren’t many (Norwescon will be my only con for the year!). There’s a reason for that: I’ve decided to make 2017 my Year of Writing. The process of self-publishing projects is always a trade-off, as you switch your brain over to production…
