Hi everyone,

Welcome to the new site. I hope you like it. Not many updates for today's post. The writing is going well. I love the layout of the new site. I am thinking about moving the blog part of the site to my Substack. If you haven't signed up for the free side of it yet here is your chance. Here is the link: Substack.

I am focusing on the Thornwick Chronicles series for now. As you might have noticed...

Hi everyone,

Welcome to February. My series The Thornwick Chronicles is going in a little bit of a new direction. I had a meeting with someone who helped me figure some things out about it and gave me some great feedback on the first story. I am going to begin revisions on it this week. Can't wait to share the journey of it with you. So, look for posts to pick up starting this month.

Also, my other stories...

Hi everyone,

Welcome to 2026. Hope you all had a great holiday with family and friends. I took time off from writing during the holiday and it helped. I have some new ideas for stories to write in the future. The series I am working on right now The Thornwick Chronicles is going in a bit of a new direction that I think will fit the overall idea I had for it when I began writing it.

Something I am thinking...

Hi everyone,

December is here and 2026 is only a few weeks away. I am working on my Tolkien paper and some new stories that I will share more about soon. I have an old series I am working on and have started a new series as well.

I can also say I am just about done with my Christmas shopping. Usually, I am not done until around the week before but this year I started a little early. I also bought myself a new...

Hi everyone,

November has begun. It's not long until Thanksgiving and then Christmas. Where did the year go? I am writing again after dealing with changes at my day job and some personal stuff that happened.

I have also posted the first chapter of Raven's Fate to my Substack under the paid side of it. So, if you want to read it and help me out by giving feedback that would be great no pressure though. I...

I can’t believe it’s September already. Where did the year go?

August was pretty good. I had a new story released. Not sure if it will be a one-shot deal or turn into a series. I will make that determination in a few months after I have gotten other stories out of the way and can look at it again and decide.

I have started an outline for the Dark Academia series I want to write. It will be released sometime...

Hi everyone,

I can't believe it is already August. The dark fantasy story is finished and sent out to the runner of the set it is going to be in. Once I have a release date and purchase link I will post it here. I can tell you right now this one may or may not be turned into a series. The frustration I had writing it makes me think it won't but we will see.

The dark academia series I have in mind is in the...

Hi everyone,

Sorry my themed posts for July didn't happen. I had more to do then I thought when it came to the classes I am participating in this summer. Also, personal life threw a wrench into things as well. The dark fantasy story I wrote needed to be finished and edited. It's finished and now in the editing stages.

I won't make promises about August but I do have a plan to post more here and on my Substack page. The posts for both are being...

Hi everyone,

Just dropping in to let you know about something that Signum University where I received my Tolkien Studies certificate/diploma from has a program called the Space program and I have a referral link to share with you.

You can check it out here. The program allows you to take classes without having to worry about writing papers and just enjoy discussing the topic with others. It has some great topics you can choose from.

That's it for now....

Hi everyone,

The Dark Fantasy story is moving along. I’m almost finished with it and plan to move on to editing/revising this week or the first of next week. Also, I have launched my subscription (paid) part of my Substack. I still plan to at some point add something here as well.

I will post more about the Substack paid page and what I plan to post on there soon. Some posts are going to be seasonal...

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to drop in and let you know that I have made my first posts over on Substack. Please go check it out and subscribe. Also, the subscription page on Substack has been set up. Right now, the Welcome page and the About Page are up as posts.

I am adding here what it will be like over there and what the name of the Subscriptions Page is called.

Hi everyone,

Well May slipped by without the updates I mentioned in the last IWSG post. Real life had a lot to do with that happening. June will hopefully see the store and subscription pages going up and more posts going out.

I have been trying to finish up a story that is due in a few weeks. It has been frustrating to say the least. I have never written dark fantasy before and that is the problem for the...

Hi everyone,

I hope everyone is liking the new layout and other changes I have made so far. My list for May is to add the subscription area and the store for direct sales. Schedule some posts for the blog to go out hopefully once a week. Do you prefer a particular day like with the IWSG posts? Or would you rather I pick a different day each week to post?

Also, I will be updating my substack with free and...

Hi everyone,

It's April already. Where has the first few months of 2025 gone? I had planned to update more in March and didn't. That is because real life had other plans for me. I do have a list of things I want to get done and posts I want to make. I didn't update my social media pages either too much during that time.

April is a new month and I will be getting some things done on the to-do list this month...

Hi everyone,

Sorry I did not post in February. I never received an email and forgot about doing the post. I can not believe it is March already. Things are going great with the writing. I am also working on new ideas for posts, plan to begin updating the book pages this month as well. Also, hope to have the subscription area ready by the end of the month.

So, please stick around for the posts and updates that...

Hi everyone,

I took some time off toward the end of December to spend the holidays with family. Now, I am back at it so look for updates to the site and more to begin soon.

The writing is going well. I have a story I am working on that will be out later this year. Also, I have applied for a mentorship program that will help me to hone my skills as an academic writer. Wish me luck. I should know soon if I get...
