Blog postI just received Mark Sisson’s new book. As happens to many on Paleo or Primal diets, he progressed to a Ketogenic diet. (I have, too.) When Mark does something, he brings plenty of research along with it to share. This book has so much information and straight-forward steps to guide you, not to mention recipes. The summary below is the WHY of keto.
From Mark Sisson’s new book The Keto Reset Diet:
Ketogenic eating allows you to benefit from the extraordinary (and long scientifi -
Blog postOur fall series for small group training is underway. We’ve shifted from heavy strength training to solid conditioning for the next 8 weeks.
Each metcon combines compound strength exercise, conditioning circuit, and a final core blast. The work outs range from 35-45 minutes.
Our 35-minute Leg Day & Armblaster was pretty awful…if by “awful” you mean AWESOME! No really, it was awful, so it will stay in the rotation. In other words, it hit some of our weak points, so we need -
Blog postOur strength training small groups have been pushing the 3-5 day splits for 6 months. We all love strength training, but sometimes we need to kick it up a notch. We need to specifically focus on improving our conditioning. What is “conditioning”? I like Joel Jamieson’s definition:
maximum amount of power output that can be maintained over a given time
Let’s do it!
Starting August 29th and continuing for 8 weeks, our Tuesday 5:30am and Saturday morning 10am groups -
Blog postMy teen-age kids are impatient. They want snacks and they want them NOW. Their growing bodies can still absorb extra carbs that I avoid, but one thing we share is our gluten-free lifestyle. We have a lot of autoimmune conditions in our family, so we take our gluten — our ABSENCE of gluten — seriously.
I’m also adamant about not having snacks sitting around. You know…you make a pie or buy a bag of something, and it sits around for days as the family eats it. Treats are occasional indul -
Blog postI received an email from yet another trainer telling me the “truth” about weight loss and his special program. He tells me the only way to lose weight is through calorie deficit, either directly (limiting calories) or indirectly (limiting macronutrients which in effect limits calories). He tells me I can cut out fats or proteins or carbs and get the same results.
My trainer tells me when the low-carb diet works, the “reduction in carb intake — in and of itself — had nothing to do with -
Blog post*** Eucher woke slowly and turned to the sound of moaning. A girl was riding Theodore. He lay on his back. She rocked on top of him, her hands resting her weight on his chest. Her round breasts rose and fell, and she sighed with the rhythm of her rocking hips. Like a first glass of wine after a tiring …

Blog post*** The next evening, Theodore sent his men to Stilicho’s palace on the Palantine, where Eucher was saying while in Rome. It was dark when Eucher left with an escort of guards. Theodore had also sent a litter and six slaves, and so for the first time since leaving Africa, Eucher allowed myself to be carried. Slaves walked ahead with lamps …

Blog postDraft Cover for Darklaw: In the Shadows of Gods
As summer approaches, I’m gearing up for a new German volume training routine with my personal training clients. I’m also finishing up the cover for Darklaw: In the Shadows of Gods. This story is available in a collection on Amazon, but I’ll be releasing a stand-alone and extended version on Kindle.
Shadows is a transition from the end of the novel Darklaw to the beginning of Darklord, which will be serialized here on t -
Blog postChapter IV Eucher went to relieve himself in the garden. Afterward, he wandered awhile among patches of cheery colors that reminded him of his uncle’s villa in Africa. A man approached. He was in his later years with graying temples and a careful manner. He wore an orange freedman’s cap and dirty-blue tunic, and his fingers were stained with black …

Blog postPelagius’s wide face tightened, and his arms fell to his sides. He took a great, exasperated breath. “I didn’t realize that the Most Noble Namatian was so well-acquainted with the writings of the Apostles. I’d heard quite differently, that he wasn’t Christian at all—not so much as a heretic.” The Consul’s eyebrows rose with humorous approval. He tipped the wreath …

Blog postNamatian didn’t recline but sat, feet planted in front of him, cup in one hand and the other fidgeting with his yellow tunic. His reputation was as a man devoted to the past, so his invitation to a dinner of the Anicii seemed peculiar to Eucher at first, until he realized a politician as worldly as the Consul knew to …

Blog postThe emperor Constantius had precipitated the conflict between Symmachus and Ambrose by removing the altar of Victory that had been placed in the Senate chamber by Caesar Augustus himself. Later, the emperor Gratian escalated the assault by stealing imperial funds meant for the cults and disbanding the priesthoods. Symmachus solicited several succeeding emperors to have the venerable objects returned. In …

Blog postMy creative space
I’ll be posting two Darklaw stories for Kindle soon. I’m working on the covers now, see?
My working space has several projects going — a cover at the pencil stage, a charcoal illustration for my Patreon account (which is not yet live), and the concept comic book (it’s behind the glass on the right).
Instead of a light box, I rigged my table with a lamp so I have a bigger drawing surface.
If you have the print edition of Darklaw, you might reco -
Blog post“He’s written a well-received commentary on Saint Paul,” continued the Consul, “for those of you unfamiliar with such spiritual matters…” The guests laughed at the gibe. “…you may read it now.” He backed away, and from behind him came twenty-five boys, none older than ten. They wore white tunics and silver sandals. Each carried a book, and each came to …

Blog postFemale domestics in green dresses offered bowls of walnuts, honey-coated almonds, cakes baked with pistachios, fish-stuffed African olives, and fried goat cheese. Male domestics in short violet tunics tenderized the spitted roasts with prongs and dribbled savory pepper-oil that crisped the flesh black in the flames. Bottles of other expensive spices lay conspicuously strewn about. The single large serving table …

Blog post*** The office of Consul was one of the most ancient, but had become an expensive honor. Even so, every senator wanted it. The Consul sponsored games. He gave his name to the year. During imperial ceremonies, had the privilege of standing quite close to the eunuchs who surrounded Emperor Honorius. The Consul for the year was the patriarch of …

Blog postChapter III The evening arrived along with another message. Eucher dismissed the tribune and tossed the newly delivered scroll to the couch. “Another order.” “Will you ignore this one, too?” asked Gallus. “What am I to do? Now that Arcadius is dead, the East is open for the taking, and Father wants it back. In this age of new wars …

Blog postThe kindle edition of Darklaw has been out for just over a month and is selling well. In fact, I’m thrilled by how many people are finding it, considering how little actual promotion I’ve done.
Years ago, when I began publishing digitally, I explored the ways small publishers and independent authors promoted their work. You can have a fantastic piece of literature, but people have to actually know about it. At one time, advertising was a bad word to me. But I came to realize that adve -

Thought I’d share the book trailer to Stilicho’s Son. I made this for my online novel and the graphics will make it’s way to the kindle version eventually. I had a Darklaw book trailer a few years ago, but I’m looking at making a new one.
Technical If you’re curious about the technical specs: I made t -
Blog postSince I quit Facebook and restarted my Twitter feeds from scratch, I found I have much more time. It didn’t seem like I was always on social media, but I guess I was. I would skip post to post, then read the articles (yes, I actually read what you posted). But in the 6 weeks I’ve been off, I have completed three projects that were getting nowhere. And I have some roughs for the continuation of Darklaw.
Darklord will be serialized here in the coming months. I’ll start with a short -
Blog postDarklaw is now available in the digital edition. You can buy it at Amazon for a mere $2.99.
The digital edition is also a second edition, having been edited from the paperback version. It has less mature content and one illustration (the map).
The two editions (paperback and kindle) are located separately at Amazon. You can find reviews at the print edition. And if you happen to feel like it, it would be helpful if you posted a review at either the print or the kindle edi -
Blog postI can never do just one project at a time. While I’m developing short webcomic stories for Darklaw and posting the digital version this month, I’m also serial publishing an historical fiction novel set in Late Rome.
You’ll likely see similarities between it and Darklaw. I conceptualize the world of Darklaw as “Rome meets the Old West”. Take a look at Stilicho’s Son, and you will understand why.

Blog postThis is a cross post from my Rowdy Vulcan website. I have so many websites, I’m not always sure what is best to post where. In prepping Darklaw for digital, I ran in to many decisions and problems I didn’t have to make with print. The one I took the most time to solve was the logical table of contents.
———————
It’s truly amazing that we can publish our own works. I much prefer doing it myself to the traditional route of going through a publisher. Crafting a book is more than j -
Blog postIt’s been nearly two years since the publication of the print novel. I’m editing the digital novel. It’s not as easy as you think.
The real problem with digital books is that the publisher/author can’t control what you see. YOU control what you see based on the technology you choose and how you format it. That’s great for text, but when the book includes illustrations, it’s a nightmare. Images may be poorly formatted, too small to see, blurry, and aligned with the wrong text. -
Blog postI’m diligently working on the first panels, despite that school has started for my kids.
My kids take a few classes at the junior high school and I home school them in others. In between the shuttling and algebra lessons (I teach them math because I LOVE it!) I’ve managed to pencil and ink the first pages.
Episodes are coming soon.
It’s wonderful being back at my drawing desk. I now have it in my sunroom, which limits me to mornings because those afternoons are HO
