The Riftwalker Chronicles is an upcoming urban fantasy novel. Imagine a world where creativity, inspiration, and ingenuity no longer exist. Imagine a world where there are no more movies, no more music, and no more books. This is the fate that threatens the world of college student William Dane. In order to stop it, he must find a way to bridge the gap between the magical world of Patria Immortal and the world of reality. Without that bridge, everything that inspires humanity ceases to exist.

William must find a way, but will it be too great a cost for one college-aged kid to pay?
Hearth-Tales is a series of short fan fictions written for my Shield Dwarf paladin in my local Dungeons & Dragons: Forgotten Realms campaign.

Ruria Hammerfall grew up in the shadows of Citadel Adbar, following in the footsteps of her father. However, when fate takes hold and she finds herself swept away down the Black Road and across the face of the world to the city of Luskan. It is here she finds her calling. It is here her story truly begins.

For it is here that legends are made.

    When Life gives you lemons… make lemonade! Yeah, that’s pretty cliche as sayings go, isn’t it?  I suppose just because it’s cliche doesn’t make it any less valid or truthful.  Life has been giving me a lot of lemons lately, most of which has included a lot of debilitating pain that prevents me from writing as much as I’d want to — hence, the lack of updates to this blog.  Stuff is in the works, though, and future entries will probably focus a lot on coping with disease while still trying to find the time and the will to do...
  2. More Publisher Bad Press: Random House/Hydra

    It’s a good thing that I regularly check all of my social media outlets.  I find out just which publishers are out there trying to pull the wool over the eyes of inexperienced or perhaps uneducated writers looking to publish.  Today’s publisher that got smacked with the proverbial ruler by writers everywhere is Random House and their new digital imprinting house, Hydra.  I found out about it through the blog of author John Scalzi who provided links to a post by the Writer Beware blog. This should come as a wake-up call to all of us who are still searching for...
  3. Amazon Self-Pubs: The Dangers of Success?

    I was browsing through my Google+ stream today and came across the plight of author Jamie Mcguire who seems to have run afoul of self-publishing with Amazon.  According to the article on her website, Mcguire is being forced to give out refunds for her novel Beautiful Disaster because she dared to have success and find herself an independent publisher.  It doesn’t just stop there, though.  Not only is she having to refund the purchase price of her original book, but she has to refund an additional amount because of the new listing at a higher price!  So she has to refund...
  4. Free Reviews: Truth or Dare?

    I’ve been seeing a lot of people both on Facebook and my Google+ communities soliciting for free reviews by giving you a free copy of their books.  I have to wonder how many of these reviews are genuine truth or whether people dare to post patronizing reviews that only tell us what we want to hear.  Personally, I can’t even fathom writing the latter, much less giving that kind of review to someone. I would rather be told a single honest brutal truth as a writer than be told a thousand comforting white lies.  I feel it’s a disservice to...
  5. January: Thyroid Awareness Month

    January is Thyroid Awareness Month and as someone who suffers from a thyroid disease, it’s always something that hits me right at home.  People think that because a disease is “manageable” that makes it negligible, that because nothing looks wrong with us that nothing is wrong with us — and that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Thyroid conditions are often life-long diseases that can be managed, but cannot be cured.  Regardless of how much medication we’re on, or how stringently our health is managed, some of our days will be better than others.  Conversely, that also means that some of our days will...
  6. 2013: Year of the Water Snake

    Fire Snakes can be a bit loud, speaking their minds and smothering you with their opinions. This does add a twist to his dynamic and vibrant character, as he is quite the extrovert. These Snakes have a great wisdom. They are intriguing communicators who leave you breathless after a conversation. Fire Snakes can change even the most obstinate mind with their powers of persuasion, convincing you their opinions or ideas are better than yours. This does make them a little self-centered, but you can’t say they aren’t driven for success.  - Wikipedia By Chinese Astrology, I’m a Fire Snake and...
