If I told you that a Kevin James/Alan Ritchson buddy comedy ended with our leads purposefully killing dozens of children in a fiery explosion, you'd probably look at me sideways. If I told you they were the heroes, and this was supposed...
So there's a thing that happens when you make stuff and post it to the internet -- people who've never directly interacted with you before feel like they know you. I don't mean like your beloved social media mutual who you've had online...
I've been trying to put my feelings into words about the events of the last week. In theory, I'm a writer. That's a thing I should be able to do easily. I've sat here with a blank document for the last hour though, and mostly just given...
It's been a while since I put out a series-wide book trailer for my contemporary/urban fantasy series the Mia Graves Saga, so it seemed about time I do an updated one. As you may have noticed, I say book 5, The Perfect Host, should be...
So I don't make a lot of code nerd posts on this blog, but it's mostly because I am, frankly, not that great a programmer. I like to describe myself as "experienced enough to only break things in weird ways no one expected." But a lot of...
As the year comes to an end yet again, I've ended up reflecting a lot not just on the last twelve months, but my past in general. Who I am, where I've been, and who I've brought with me. When we were down in Milwaukee for Christmas,...
Just a little announcement today regarding Peregrine Lake and the update schedule for the next two weeks. Last year, we did a flashback story called The Move where we saw a brief little tale of how Lynn and Megan moved from Eau De...
Fifteen years ago today I wrote a blog post title "We're Living in a Cyberpunk Novel," and it was when I had the dawning realization that so much of our world felt like it was ripped straight out of a William Gibson novel. At the time I...
So the day is finally here -- Buried Memories, the fourth book in the Mia Graves Saga, is now officially out! I posted the official blurb on pre-order announcement a few months ago, but the book's premise is basically "what if you were...
So I already made a post about this on TikTok/Bluesky/Tumblr/YouTube (because I am, if anything, distributed these days), but I wanted to talk about it here -- as it feels more permanent. This last weekend I was at a convention, and like...
On December 8th 2009 the first strip of UnCONventional went online. UnCONventional wasn't the first webcomic I ever attempted (the first was "Room 825" which ran for a few months back in the year 2000), but it's the first one that stuck...
Well the world is dark and cold, which means it's time to do something fun -- and in this case that something fun is go do a convention. This Saturday, December 6th, I'm going to be at UWEC GEEKcon at the University of Wisconsin-Eau...
Right now I'm sitting in my favorite chair in my living room, safely home after having spent Thanksgiving with most of my family in Milwaukee. Normally I'd still be there, and wouldn't have come home until tomorrow night -- but the...
This has been a strange week for a lot of reasons, but one of those reasons is deeply ironic. If you recall I wrote a whole blog entry about how I don't care about having a large audience -- instead preferring a smaller, intentional one....
As a person who makes creative projects and publishes them on the internet, there's a push to find the largest audience possible. Modern social media focuses on follower count and reaching as many folks as possible, but the more I think...
