I can finally, happily announce that we sold my novel PLANETSIDE and a second book to David Pomerico at Harper Voyager. It is tentatively set for release in summer of 2018. PLANETSIDE is the story of a decorated war veteran who flies to a distant planet to take care of a routine investigation, only to find himself enmeshed...

I don’t do a lot of book releases on my blog. In fact, I don’t think I’ve done any. But this book is special. First off, the author, Dan Koboldt, was my Pitch Wars mentor when I was a contestant in 2015, and then my co-mentor this past year and again this coming year. You...

I’m a little late to the whole blog game. But I figured, hey, it’s 2006, so I should definitely get on this. What’s that? 2016? Well this is embarrassing. I really don’t have a good reason for not making a website earlier. I guess I just didn’t have that much to say. I’ll pause now...
