For some reason, it has always been horrifically difficult for me to get up in the morning. Even when I get a good night’s sleep, when it’s time to wake up my body and brain go into full-on revolt. I have this monstrous grogginess that comes over me. I get dizzy and head-achy. It’s not a fun process and it takes me a long time to feel ok. I mean, […]
I had a Dr appointment yesterday and had to admit that for the most part, I’m happy with how my life is going. There are a few things I would change (more book sales! somebody please date me!) But I’m happy with the work I’m producing, which is half the battle. It took a lot to get here. I had to break everything down and then put it back together
A lot of people claim adhd is not a thing for you if you can actually accomplish things. It’s still a thing. The only reason I got a degree was because I studied things I was already interested in. I wrote four books working in hour-long bursts. I like problem solving, so IT was good for me, even if I bounced hard off of programming and other types of coding.

OK, since I began writing the Broken Stars series last year, I have had a general idea of where I wanted it to go. I had firm plots through book five, but I knew the end point was somewhere beyond that. Well, today, for some reason, I was thinking about it and a plot scaffold downloaded itself into my head and suddenly, I knew what I was doing. (I’m as

They drove out of town and through the dense forest that spread out along the valley that surrounded Corinth. The rain grew heavier, until they lost practically all visibility. The driver did not slow the vehicle, however, seemingly comfortable with both the weather and the terrain. Will had no idea where they were going or how far, and after several turns and switchbacks, he’d lost track of even the

Here is the cover for Among the Captive Stars, sequel to All the Promised Stars and the second book in the Broken Stars Series. When I commissioned the cover for the first book, I had no idea what I wanted but I really liked what the designer came up with. This time I had a better idea, and I think they did a great job capturing the feel of the
Well, the editor should be done with Among the Captive Stars any day now, so it’s almost time to commission the cover. For All the Promised Stars I had only a very vague idea of what I wanted the cover to look like, and I was happy with what the artist came up with. This time, I have a very specific idea of what I want on the cover, so

Things have been pretty busy around stately Grayson Manor. I have been working hard on Burden of the Stars, book three of the series. I have also done another editing pass on Among the Captive Stars, and it was been sent to the copy editor for a final pass. The plan is to publish Among the Captive Stars next month sometime, even if I’m probably not going to meet my
Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn checkout I am on record many places stating that the Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn trilogy by Tad Williams is my favorite series of all time. I have my own executive dysfunction to thank for me reading it. When I was a teenager, I was a member of the Science Fiction Book club. The deal was this: every month you would get a catalog of books, with
