Using Darkness to Change the World

Admin/ February 11, 2017/ Books, Rants, Video Games

  Writing and I have had a fairly symbiotic relationship since I was very young.  I am one of those weird children who enjoyed writing far more than reading at first.  I discovered as I grew older that the reason behind this was as a result of me being both bored and disillusioned by what I was forced to read

Accomplishments of 2015

Admin/ December 31, 2015/ Rants

  Sometimes as I fight back all the negativity in my life, I have to look back and see what things I did manage to accomplish this year.  Like with my last post, I will do this in a list format. Completely (re)wrote The End of Utopia, the first of many novels in the Search for Eden Series. Completed Masters

One Sentence Blurb

Admin/ December 9, 2015/ Books

  One sentence blurbs, or the one sentence description of a novel is something I have always had trouble talking about adequately.  Still I have been working tirelessly for The End of Utopia as the Kickstarter begins this week if not next week. I have tried again and again to properly give this novel that has been my flesh, blood,

Flemeth

Admin/ September 16, 2015/ Books, Video Games

  There are many characters in fiction that I draw inspiration from when I design those of my own, but not all characters are created equally and thus, some characters have more of an effect than others.  Flemeth from Bioware’s critically acclaimed Dragon Age Series is one of those created more equally than others. The Legendary Witch of the Wilds?

A Most Productive Day

Admin/ August 21, 2015/ Rants

You may have noticed if you follow my blog, but as of late, I have not been writing as much.  I have been distraught, tired, and depressed all the time.  I have not had the energy to really do much of anything and had felt myself wasting away.  That ended today. Today has been one of the most productive days

Writing a Glossary

Admin/ August 3, 2015/ Books

I have noticed that an increasing number of Science Fiction and Fantasy Series have set a standard of including a glossary.  The existence of such an reference is to help ease the reader when they have finished the novel. Many of the new stories including mine, have an incredibly large cast of characters.  In addition, Magic systems are getting far

Crafting a Sequel

Admin/ July 29, 2015/ Books

The End of Utopia is complete and is on Amazon to read.  But that’s not what this post is about.  Instead I will go into the method for how I will continue with the next book. Book 1 was certainly no lighthearted fantasy story, but for the most part, the reader gets  a feeling that the heroes can win.  A

Returning to College

Admin/ July 27, 2015/ Rants

  These last few years have been a wild ride.  In and out of multiple jobs.  Finally realizing that working retail is the greatest cancer in the job world.  Getting a book published.  Creating this blog also happened. This summer I began taking online course again to make up or a more than 2 year lapse in my education.  Still

The End of Utopia Part 3

Admin/ July 18, 2015/ Books

It took quite a bit of work, but now that I have completed part 3, I can say with confidence that I managed to get an entire book published. I found the final segment of the novel to be the easiest to write.  Perhaps this was due to finally getting the plot to fall into place after a whole lot
