This one has been bouncing around in my head for quiet some time. I work a little on it now and then when the mood strikes me. It’s a complicated piece. This week, after complaining that I hadn’t been very productive, I found myself working on this again and really getting into it so...
Keeping up with the ‘short story a week’ goal I have set for myself, I decided to revisit a piece of Flash Fiction I wrote a while ago called ‘Welcome to Solar City‘. To this day, it’s one of my favorite pieces and I wanted to expand it a little, delve deeper. I’m calling...
One day I was sitting here and I thought, we need more cowboys in space. This lead me to sit down at the computer and start writing. The result was originally called ‘The Brothers of Katie Rose’; an homage to the classic western flick, ‘The Sons of Katie Elder’, but then I changed it...
I have shared with you a couple of chapter excerpts from ‘The Queen of Shadows’, the book I wrote in 3 days. To be honest with you, I didn’t even pause before I started working on the next book, ‘The Road to Faloan’. It wasn’t until I started letting other people read the first...
I managed some good stuff on the sequel to my ‘written in 3 days’ book ‘The Queen of Shadows’, and wanted to share some of it with you here today. Yesterday, I introduced you to a couple of characters who were being put through the blender. Here’s a bit of the aftermath. Enjoy! ©...

On a long, 3 day weekend several years ago, I wrote a book. Called ‘The Queen of Shadows’, it was intended to be the first in a series of adventures of a Wizard named ‘Darius’. As you might expect with a book written in just 3 days, it wasn’t very good. Having said that,...
I think we all enjoy writing a little fan fiction. For me, there was a lot of different, well known universes that I played in as I was learning to write. Sometimes, it’s easier to write in well established worlds because you know them so well. Hopefully, you do them justice. In the 90′s,...
Whenever an idea comes to mind, I have to write it down. Today’s excerpt is from an idea that I had for a scifi story. I wrote up the synopsis and a dozen or so chapters but felt there were other projects that needed to be completed before this one, so it has sat...
