Blog postPlease note this is half what I’ve done twice now for my novels and half what I intend to do hoping to make my process easier.
Step 1: Random Ideas/Concepts. Stuff either pops into my head and I want to see where it goes, or I think of something I’d like to do or see.
Step 2: Cast/Develop the Characters. I say “cast” here because my “stable” is full of annoying people all begging for a shot at the spotlight. Some will fit into the story I see happening. Sometimes new people com -
Blog postLast year I had the pleasure of being one of the authors at Keystone Books' Author Alley. You can see the mini-interview here.
I am hoping to be there this year as well, but we'll see. Hopefully the weather co-operates better instead of raining us out.

Blog postThere’s a Point in every story where, as a reader, if it continues beyond said Point, you are just left bored. There’s nothing left to say, but the storyteller keeps talking. When you reach that Point as an author, that’s when you stop and leave any further exploration to the fanfiction authors.

So this month, I went to a local author event, and had the pleasure of meeting several Ohio authors. It was a very pleasant experience but also has given me the -

Blog postHello everyone!
So I'm still in the middle of my first few days of Patreon and getting ready for Camp NaNoWriMo. This led to be checking out my other accounts and places where readers can see my work. I've recently updated my FictionPress page, adding the preview chapters for “Path of the Dragon” as well as a sneak peek at “Watching Shadows”. I've also posted a vent fanfiction piece based on my struggles to make a likable character out of an egocentric jerk.
I am curren -
Blog postHello everyone!
Sorry for being AWOL around here so much. I've been busy getting ready for Camp NaNoWriMo. Also waiting... and waiting... and waiting to get the sequel to Mask of the Dragon back from my second editor. Not only waiting for that, but for the script for The Windwater Pack so I can adapt it back into a novella.
I've set up a YouTube channel for Rainbow Wolf Productions, where everything the staff feels should be publicly shared will be uploaded. So far we h -
Blog postLet me start by saying I am a one of the most stubborn, hard-headed idiots I know. And I'm aware that I would be corrected on the idiot part by not only my editors, but my friends as well. Sorry everyone, the truth is I can be, but I appreciate the support anyway. I have read several “how to write” books. If You Can Talk, You Can Write by Joel Saltzman, The Writer's Handbook that's published every year, etc. Most have stuck with me in one way or another, but Terry Brooks' Sometimes the Magic

Blog postSo NaNoWriMo is almost upon us, and with Path of the Dragon complete and in editing, I'm ready for a break from the "Rise" world. My next book will be about Mauja and Sigumba, a lioness and the cheetah she adopts. Most stories with anthropomorphic animals tend to make them monogamous. But in real life, lions and cheetahs are not. When I write about animals, I try and reflect as much of their real behavior if I can. This has been true since the late 1990's, but be

Blog postWho are your favorite authors? C. S. Lewis - Narnia and "The Screwtape Letters" are a huge inspiration. J. R. R. Tolkien - "The Hobbit" remains one of my favorites. J. K. Rowling - Harry Potter changed how I looked at setting up a story. Terry Brooks - "The Word and the Void" is one series I want to finish one day. Rachel Roberts - "Avalon: Web of Magic" is for younger readers but I still love it. The list goes on.
What do your fans mean to you? My -
Blog postI was supposed to be here in July. Oh well. I'm happy to report that Path of the Dragon is nearing complete first draft status. I'm quite happy with it thus far, and hope fans of "Mask" will be too.
NaNoWriMo is coming as well, and as I should be done with "Path", I plan to start a stand-alone then. I'm really going to need a break for the "Rise of the Dragonfly" world when this is over. Have no fear, once the NaNoWriMo project is completed, I'll get to -
Blog postGetting reviews is one of the most rewarding parts of being an author. Good or bad they help you improve. I just wanted to share this review of "Mask of the Dragon" with you all.
