As many of you know, my upcoming releases - the 4 books of the Svatura series - were originally self-published.

The Bubble Gum Scene
One of my favorite write-related memes says, "Be careful or you might end up in my book." There's a particular scene in one of my Svatura books that is an excellent, and ridiculous, example of this. A little history first... I wrote most of the Svatura series books while in the middle of my MBA program. It... Continue Reading →

This & That
I've had so much stuff going on lately with the Sarai's Fortune release, I've been totally obsessed with that.

Blue Violet Travels to Estes Park
Remember my idea to leave my books in places as gifts for whomever picks them up - sort of "Flat Stanley" meets "Abandoned Art" meets giveaways? Well I just spent ten days at my favorite place on the planet - Estes Park, Colorado. And, since Blue Violet and parts of the rest of the Svatura series are... Continue Reading →
