Blog postThis is it! The official announcement. After a year and a half of writing, editing, and cover design, the Dreamwaker Saga is live and available for pre-order. Thank you for your patience.
The three books will follow a staggered release, starting with book one on July 31, 2022. I will release the paperback version at the same time.

Blog postLast month, I talked about lucid dreaming, which is the ability to control your dreams while you are experiencing them. Now, I took the idea a little farther, and headed into fantasy territory.
What if you could make your dreams real, if only for a short while? Imagine you had an ability to dream of a person, real or imaginary, and pull them out into the real world where they could interact with the world, just like a regular person.
Maybe you could talk to your grea -
Blog postI do… sometimes. But there is one aspect of dreaming I wish I was able to do: lucid dreaming.
When you have a lucid dream, you are aware that you are dreaming and can control what’s going on within the dream: the environment, the characters within it, and the narrative.
I always thought this idea was fascinating. Imagine a place where you’re taking part in a story that feels real but is all contained within your head. Plus it’s safe because anything that happens isn’t permanen -

Blog postOn January 12, 2021, I set out to write a three book saga in a year. Now it’s time to celebrate and you could win.
Am I done? No, but that’s okay. I’m well into book three with the finish line on the horizon. The story took on a life of its own (as stories often do) and as a result, I’ll probably finish around February or March 2022. Still, 240 working days and 244,000 words later (or just over 1,000 words per day), that’s cause to celebrate.
So here’s what I’m going to do. If -
Blog postI’ve resisted book trailers for a long time. I thought they were ineffective and most of the ones I had seen were poorly made. I may have seen the light.
I come from a graphic design background and spent ten years working in the visual effects industry. I had the skills to put together a book trailer but kept putting it off. Finally I decided to do it. I mean, how hard could it be?
It’s hard. Even with my skills, it was hard. Getting everything under thirty seconds was a chall -
Blog postGreat news! I just finished draft one of book two of my new three book saga, despite the kidney stone. Wait, what?
Yup. You read that right. My body decided to celebrate the Autumn Equinox by throwing a kidney stone at me. I tried my best to write through the pain, but in the end, the stone won out. I lost a week of writing time as I passed what turned out to be a 4mm calcium oxalate stone. The experience turned my life on its ear and I’m making a lot of dietary changes so I neve -

Blog postI have some good news (and a contest you could win!) As we head towards fall, I am on track to finish the first draft of my three-book saga by the end of February 2022.
The longest book I have ever written was Arachnid 2.0, which published at 135,000 words. That milestone took me 14 months. With my new saga, I have been writing Monday through Friday since the middle of January, representing about eight months of work (or 162 actual working days.) My wordcount has surpassed 170,000 wor -
Blog postI have some good news and some bad news. First the good news. I have finished the first draft of the first book in this three book saga. WOOT!
It came in at 110,000 words. And I’m keeping the momentum going by rolling right into the second book while details are still fresh in my mind.
The bad news? I miscalculated my estimate to finish the first drafts of all three books. I do not work weekends but I was incorporating weekends in my estimate. D’oh! My bad.

Blog postI made great progress last month on my new trilogy/saga and banked almost 22,000 words.
The first draft is always for me so perhaps I am writing too much detail. At this point I don’t care too much because I’m having too much fun. Hopefully that comes out on the page too.
I’ve got a total of 90,000 words banked on the first book of the new trilogy/saga. Even my new target of 100,000 words per book might not be enough. This month I should be done with the first draft -
Blog postDespite starting on a new three-book series this year, I will be writing a fourth book in the Detest-A-Pest series.
I don’t want to become bored of the stories I write. That boredom would come across on the page. It was one of my biggest fears when first attempting a series. What if the series starts feeling like “more of the same”? I know it’s the characters that drive the story, but the situations can feel similar. The last thing I wanted was to start going through the motions. That
