December 28th, 2023 A year ago this week, I announced — in celebration of a decade publishing books and comics, and twenty years of making music as The Next Step — that I would be focusing on a different Sleeping Kitty Productions project every month for all of 2023, taking you behind the scenes andContinue reading “The Key”
A Dream of Tin & Eternity: Change, or Die
December 12th, 2023 On Saturday, I celebrated a sobriety milestone, but it was also another anniversary: I released A Dream of Tin & Eternity exactly a year ago, on December 9th, 2022. I joked (kind of) that I wanted December 9th to be more than just a reminder of what a piece of shit IContinue reading “A Dream of Tin & Eternity: Change, or Die”
SKP 2023: A Dream of Tin & Eternity
December 1st, 2023 “Imagine that all of my books are ski hills,” I’ve said to hundreds of curious readers, intrigued by the silver & orange, candy cane cover of A Dream of Tin & Eternity. “This one is my double black diamond.” I wanted to write something to celebrate ten years of publishing; a storyContinue reading “SKP 2023: A Dream of Tin & Eternity”

Push: The Book (and Boy) That Almost Wasn’t
November 17th, 2023 When my novella Flip came out, it got nice reviews and people generally liked it. So much so that, less than a year later, in 2014, I announced a sequel called Push. Wait, 2014? Didn’t Push come out in 2021? It sure did, people of the future. The idea I had thenContinue reading “Push: The Book (and Boy) That Almost Wasn’t”

SKP 2023: Push
November 2nd, 2023 I have a few stories that took a long time to jump from idea to reality, but this book may have waited the longest. The demand for a sequel to Flip was immediate, and I went so far as to announce and name it back in 2014. I had a rad ideaContinue reading “SKP 2023: Push”
School’s Out!
November 1st, 2023 I learned more than I taught in my first Writing Class and I have these wonderful writers to thank. We’re missing three more (they had unfortunate or unexpected events arise, and were deeply missed!), but this group was so special and I couldn’t have asked for more compassionate and understanding, generous andContinue reading “School’s Out!”
