The lack of posting is not due to laziness (me? lazy? No way), but to a very busy schedule. I thought I'd give you all an update on my writing, which I haven't gotten to do in a while. Some of you know that I finished a novella a month or two ago. It's a…

Chapter Eight My eyes flash open the following morning and suddenly it all makes sense. The words of Claudius Templesmith that permeated the dark sky last night come back to me, and I realize in an instant what he meant. Two can win. Katniss and I can go home. Both of us. Together. It’s such…
I've been meaning to do this post for a long time, but one thing was stopping me. There are actually a lot of posts that I've meant to do and haven't because one question was stuck in my head: What makes me qualified to write this? None of my works have been published, I don't…
