UPDATE: The release date has been delayed by one week! My apologies. Some last second formatting bugs still need squashing. Look for it on Friday, December 4th! Just a quick post to let you know that No Promises Large Enough will be available on Black Friday, Nov. 27th, 2020, exactly four years after the release …

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 …
No Promises Large Enough Cover Reveal
After I don't know how many missteps in cover design for my series, The Ghost and the Mask, I finally have a cover that I feel good about for book two, No Promises Large Enough. I decided to embrace the gold standard style for urban fantasy books. Here it is without the back cover text …
No Ninja, Please
And we’re back… I was pretty unhappy about having to write my previous post cancelling my cover reveal for No Promises Large Enough. But ultimately it was for the best. I hired a company to do the cover for me, and I’m happy to report that I actually like it a lot. Although it did …
My Cover Art Journey
It's been a while! But no, I have not crawled into a hole, my teeth chattering from madness from having given up on writing the sequel to Headless. No, no, no. The sequel is coming.

Wrapping it Up
We're another episode closer to the finale of Game of Thrones and I'm following up last week's post about ending a story from a writer's perspective. Today, as I'm writing the final pages in my sequel to Headless, I am working to make it a great ending for my readers. There's nothing better than setting …
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 …
UFO Catchers

(which I never saw). Or perhaps the new Roswell, New Mexico TV show (which my nephew stars in, by the way!). Do you imagine people …
Fish for Breakfast
Image by murakumo28 on Pixabay When I lived with a family in Yokohama back in 2009, we had fish for breakfast every day. While this is an odd concept for most Americans, and, I expect, most Westerners in general, it’s pretty normal in Japan. Being an island nation, fish is definitely a staple protein. The …
