Keeping it Together
I had talked about separating No Promises Large Enough, the sequel to Headless, into two books. I am not doing this. There will still be Part 1 and Part 2 inside, but it will be one book. Ultimately what made the decision for me was the fact that this "episode" of the story does not …

Okay… Here’s an Update
What am I doing? In my journal here, I've started posting Japan-related things that tie-in to my novels, thinking that might interest my readers. But it was nearly crickets on my UFO catcher post last week! Maybe I took a wrong turn. So this week I'm just going to give a quick update on what's …

October Update
Photo by Andrea Boldizsar on Unsplash. I haven’t written much about the sequel to Headless here. In fact, I think the only thing I’ve mentioned is that I am writing one.

We Have to Talk
So...uh...Wordpress? Can I talk to you for a minute? Uh...yeah, it's kinda serious. No, it won't be pleasant, but we can't ignore it any longer. We have to talk this out. So...um...I have a new website. I know, I know. This is hard to hear, but it's this really cool, well-designed site to promote my new …
