Can you believe it’s December already? It’s been snowing here in Switzerland and it’s been holiday-card beautiful! But enough about the weather! The first big announcement, if you haven’t heard about it yet, is that I am now streaming 3 days a week on Twitch doing

Live Reading of "The Four Keys" -- Part 1: The Great Tree and the Crossroads

This is a live reading I did of the first part of "The Four Keys" I did on Twitch on December 5, 2022 during my regular stream.

NaNoWriMo, Book Progress, and now on Twitch!

November has been a busy month! My proofreader finished up the last novel of the first series of the Survey books, which means we’re going into formatting mode now! Yay! We’re looking at a release date somewhere in early 2023. I’ve also discovered that there are writers

Blessed Samhain

I suppose this is a fitting time to write this post, as the last two months have been long ones for both me and my wife. My Father-in-Law passed away on August 25th after suffering several strokes and vascular dementia. It was really difficult for my wife, for a lot

Where your author has a month and learns other ways to make coffee...

Hello. I know it's been a bit. July was... Well, just ugh. There's been a lot going on for me and The Wife (not all of which I can talk about here). I took a trip to a hotel for a few days to have some

It's a hot June night in Zurich, and the heat is making me think too much...

I wasn’t sure what to write this month, since my books are still in the editing process. Life has also happened. We’ve had some family issues in the last couple of months that have been difficult, but we’re hanging in there. For me, I’m just taking

May Update- Short and Sweet

It’s May 2022. Good lord, it feels like it’s been a million years since I last posted. Lots of family stuff in the last few weeks, which I won't get in to, but it's been a bit of a rollercoaster. It’s been a

Site move is done.

Thankfully! Hopefully that's the end of the weirdness for awhile. I am back from Mallorca, although the Wife will be there for a little while longer. Still working on book five and waiting for edits to come back for the first four. Writing is going slowly, but life,

Brief update:

Writing is going slow, but that's because I'm also in the middle of working with an editor and proofreader. Response to the books from folks who are helping with the editing process has been awesome. I feel like the novels are now getting closer to publication!

So. Many. Pens. (And Ink!)

Look at all this! Most of this was birthday haul, since my birthday was in January. Yes, I know, I'm a pen and ink addict. Obviously. The dip pens in the front are my new obsession, since I can use any ink with them, including shimmer inks (which

Einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr!

Happy New Year! I hope you and your families had a wonderful holiday season despite Covid. It was quiet here at our home in Zurich, and to be honest, I like our quiet holidays. The Wife and I like our little cozy Yuletide. As you saw from my previous post,

Yuletide Pen Pr0n

The Wife knows me so well, and she is the Awesomest Penabling Wife (fight me!). Share my pen squee! :) This is an Esterbrook 407 Dip-less pen! It's an antique from the 1940s (ish) and it writes like a dream! I cleaned it well, and filled it with the

Winter is Coming...and I don't mind!

Hello friends! It’s November, which means the fog and rain and cold has come down on Zurich. Not that I really mind, as I love Fall, Winter, and early Spring more than Summer. Me and hot weather don’t get along very well. The best part of Fall and

Short Story: The Only Way To Travel

In memory of Mira Furlan. “Oh, shit! I’m late!” I said, as I finally looked up at the departures screen. I threw my tablet, phone, and other stuff in my carry-on and dashed out of the business lounge door. The elevators were too slow, so I ran up the

It's finally Fall!

Hello Fall! Oh how I have missed you! The turning of the leaves! The blessedly cold air! The stews, bread, and other cold weather food! Ah, it's my favorite time of year! August was a bit of a rough month, as you can tell by the fact that

Rainy July with Fountain Pens

It’s almost the end of July, and I’ve been busy writing and editing. I’ve finished my initial edit passes of the first series of books, and they're now with my beta readers. I still hope to have the books out by the end of the

It's hot. So hot.

It’s summer in Zurich. And it’s friggin’ hot. We bought a new portable AC for my room, so I have temporarily moved my computer into my bedroom so I can work on my writing without turning into a puddle of hot goo. My body is so not made

The Post Where I Write About Dinosaurs (Teaser!)

Wow, the whole month is nearly gone! I almost forgot to post my monthly update! The biggest news it that I am now fully vaccinated! It’s almost surreal to realize I can now leave the house. I’ll still wear a mask because aerosols, and I’m not an

I finished another one and GO GET VACCINATED!

Woo hoo! I have finished Consortium (#3 of 4) and am doing a bunch of additions and rewrites to Unity (the first one I wrote). Then it’s on to Colony. Then more editing. And after that, the pro-editor hunt begins! And hopefully, by the end of the year, the

March comes in more like a cranky bear.

Welcome to March, friends. It’s been a year since my Wife and I started quarantining, and I’m kind of over it. Switzerland has been slow rolling out vaccines, and while I’m happy for everyone I know gettings vaccines in the States (especially my mom and dad!), I’
