    Gloamwood: Post-Publishing Retrospective

    Summary & Timeline It’s now been about a month since I self-published my fantasy adventure novel, Into the Gloamwood.

  • New Book-Ordering Option: Lulu

    Draft2Digital’s recent announcement about adding maintenance fees spurred me to look at further alternatives to supplement Amazon. So I checked out Lulu and set up an option to order from there.

  • Status Update 2025-04-04: Springing Forward

    Hello! I’ve been busy, but I’m still here. I’ll note the general life news below, then move on to writing-related news. Firstly, I moved into a new apartment last September. (Well. New to me.) The move was exhausting and stressful, but it was worth it. My new place is so much nicer and quieter than…

  • Status Update 2024: Behind The Curtain

    Hey there, I still exist, and I’m still writing! This blog has been inactive due to other life priorities, and I have no publication-related news for similar reasons. However, I’ve continued to work on my fantasy novel projects when I can, and I will have more free time in the near future to refocus on…

  • Nice to meet you!

    Like the title says: I have no idea who you are, person on the other side of the Internet, but nice to meet you! Just getting my site off the ground. This is a test post. My intent is for this to be both a personal and professional space where I can point people who…
