April 6th, 2023 It’s a weird phenomenon that we think of something nice to say about someone else and then battle within ourselves over whether or not we should say it. We should always say it. I got a gift today. As an artist, you’re always trying to figure out what kind of art youContinue reading “Be The Sun”

SKP 2023: Us
April 2nd, 2023 The story of Us is the story of failure. In April, we’ll be staring up at that shiny rock in the sky (I’m obsessed, I know) and talking about my — third book? — which is the second in a two-book series, the sequel to Them, my — first book? I wroteContinue reading “SKP 2023: Us”
Them: Heroes, Villains, Humans
March 31st, 2023 I spent most of my youth trying to shock people. I think a lot of young people, especially boys, do. When I think of those moments, that era, the many times I said or did something for the sole purpose to shock, I cringe so hard I form permanent wrinkles on myContinue reading “Them: Heroes, Villains, Humans”
The World of Brushfire and the Jojo Universe, Explained!
March 30th, 2023 I saved the best for last. So, this is it. Less than 48 hours and our Kickstarter is over!

Reading Onions
March 27th, 2023 Stories can be simple, but looks can be deceiving. I’m always swearing up and down that, like an onion, my stories have layers. The words and images, names, places, and lines of dialogue, all exist on several levels, sometimes literally. This video gives you an example of that, from the first pageContinue reading “Reading Onions”
The Final Countdown!

How I Published My First Book: A Six-Step Process
March 21st, 2023 When you tell people you’re a writer with published books, their response varies. Sometimes, they’re like, “Wow! That’s awesome!” But most of the time they say: “I have a great idea for a book. Can you publish it for me?” I’ll do you one better. There’s an old adage about fish andContinue reading “How I Published My First Book: A Six-Step Process”
Because It Kills You
March 15th, 2023 Any ride you survive was worth taking; eventually you’ll take one you don’t. If you’re a normal human who does regular person things (jealous!), you probably don’t read everything I post (and if you’re a weirdo who does, okay, I see you, too). So if you missed it: back at the beginningContinue reading “Because It Kills You”
Them: Review of a Review
March 13th, 2023 Ah, reviews. They can be inconsequential; they can be essential. They can make or break a thing, or deconstruct and remake it again. However you feel about them, they’re not going away. And as much as I hate to admit it, getting a review confirms to me that something I’ve created isContinue reading “Them: Review of a Review”
Raising Them
March 8th, 2023 Ugh. I’m going to take a break from a week in which I finally got back my stolen car, nearly two months after the incident, only for it to try to kill me and have to be returned for further repair, to keep talking about my debut novella, Them. In what placeContinue reading “Raising Them”
