Blog postThere were times when I didn’t think I would ever finish this book. But I did and it’s online right now.
It blows my mind that my book Vermin 2.0 would go on to be popular enough to warrant a second book. But that’s what my readers were telling me. After I wrote Vermin 2.0, I went on to write two more novels in completely different genres, before returning with a second book in the series, Arachnid 2.0. I guess you could say I was testing the waters; what did I enjoy writing and did m -
Blog postNetworking is a challenge for me. So when a reader contacted me to do a short question and answer session, I jumped at the chance.
On Friday, I had my first author question and answer session with Elisha’s Book Reviews. Elisha has been an early reader of my books and we have connected often through social media. I never thought to ask for a book review for my own stuff. So I was surprised and humbled that she asked if I wanted to take part. Of course I said yes.
Initially I wa -
Blog postEveryone should have a will. It makes the burden of death easier on a loved one. That goes double for writers, and all creatives. Without one, royalties for our creations are in jeopardy.
I encountered this old 2006 post from Author Neil Gaiman which talks about the importance of having a will. Would you want everything you’ve worked for all your life given to the government for them to do as they see fit? No. Set up a will. Mr. Gaiman has graciously offered a simple sample will for a -
Blog postFor a long time I’ve felt like I’ve been held for ransom by Adobe. It was pay to play and on a limited budget, that can be a killer. No longer.
Adobe Alternative, anyone?
I recently switched to Affinity by Serif to produce all my graphics. And Affinity recently released their publishing application Affinity Publisher and I couldn’t be happier. I’ll be putting it through its paces to design and layout my next book, Arachnid 2.0.
If you create your own graphics, but feel -
Blog postI am pleased to announce that Arachnid 2.0 (Detest-A-Pest #2) is available for pre-order on Kobo, Apple or Amazon.
Yes, due to popular demand, I have continued the story from Vermin 2.0 and created a series of at least three books. It’s been a very long road on this one but I hope you will enjoy it. The story feels right to me.
Thank you for your support and patience.

Blog postI just completed the first draft of Arachnid 2.0. It was only now, that I look back on things, just how long I’ve been working on this book. My process was a little different this time around.
I’m not a fast writer. As history dictates (and I’m a data junkie), I can manage two books per year on average. And a book for me is between 60,000-75,000 words. It’s no surprise to me that Arachnid 2.0 took over a year to write. In terms of length, the first draft of Arachnid 2.0 ended up being -
Blog postArachnid 2.0 is almost done… the first draft, I mean. I’ve been working on this book for over a year and I’m getting a little worried.
I’m currently knee-deep in Arachnid 2.0, the next story after Vermin 2.0, and I still have a ways to go. Spring is upon me and that was my self-imposed deadline. Oops. My only excuse is I’m having fun and writing what I need to tell the story. I am not an overwriter, but the book is approaching twice the length as anything I’ve ever written before (cur -
Blog postMy first four novels were written based on screenplays I had written earlier, back when I had Hollywood stars in my eyes. The process for my fifth novel is a little different. I have a lean writing style and prefer to not overwrite scenes. It is a style bred from my years of writing screenplays […]

Blog postYesterday was the Terry Fox Run for 2018. I planned on shaving my head (read about that here.) Guess what…?
It’s all gone, baby! Yeah! Yesterday was a milestone for me. I’m no stranger to short hair, but for most of my adult life I’ve let it grow long. And I’ve never had a buzz cut.
Yesterday I cut it all off at the Great Canadian Hair “Do” at Mile 0 to support The Terry Fox Foundation and Wigs for Kids B.C.
I am packaging up my hair “cuttings” and will be mailing them -
Blog postFor twenty-five years I’ve let my hair grow long (as you can see). I’ve cut it half a dozen times during that span, if that. This year, I’m cutting it all off. And I do mean ALL, right down to stubble. I’ve never done that before. You might be asking yourself “why?”
I’m cutting my hair off for two reasons. First, to raise money for cancer research. Every year I take part in the Terry Fox Run (I walk though ) and I will be setting up a pledge form soon to collect donations. It’s a wort
