I got my proof copy of The Wind on the Blade the other day, and I've started reading through it. I found a few things I want to change... And I'm only half way through. Not to worry though. They are all little things, thankfully. Typos, comma placement, word choice, a few unnecessary sentences. Shouldn't …

“Finally,” he said, unconvincingly.
I have finally finished the rewrite of the story that has been tormenting me lately. Yes, the one about the mystery victim in Headless. It is the fourth of six stories in The Wind on the Blade, half of which are short stories and half of which are novelettes. I did not know I was …
POV of the Dead
I feel good about today's work on The Wind on the Blade. I only wrote a little over 500 words, but they were good words. The POV shift that my editor suggested is so spot on. I don't know what I was thinking before. The problem is that I had shifted the POV away from …
No Words Lately
I’ve spent a lot of time in bed these past few weeks, because of my surgery (which was for a hernia repair, FYI). I was frustrated that my recovery hit some unexpected bumps in the beginning, but I am feeling much better now. I'm still not supposed to carry the kid, but sometimes it's been …
A Great Movie Series?
I got some reviews to shout about recently. Headless got a 5-star review from Reader's Favorite. Pikasho Deka said very nice things about it, like: "A delicious blend of murder-mystery and horror mixed with ancient Japanese folklore, Headless grabs you from the first page and refuses to let go till the end. Tristram Lowe weaves …
Cover Reveal Cancelled
This is a hard post for me to write. But I'm canceling my cover reveal. For now. The covers I had prepped to show you just aren't up to par. It's my own work, so I didn't see it until I got some professional feedback. It was hard to take, but the fact is they …
The Headless Victims
Image by Couleur from Pixabay Quick update! The sequel to Headless, No Promises Large Enough is in the final stages. Really! And I have started on the third book of The Ghost and the Mask series, as well as this... The victims of the serial killer who is now known as the Kofu Head Collector* …
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 …
You Can Help My Niece be a Student Ambassador — Today through Valentine’s Day
Photo by Roman Kraft on Unsplash My niece is raising money to be sent to Europe this summer as a student ambassador with People to People. Since I don't yet have a fat bank account, I am doing the best thing I could think of to help. All proceeds from my Amazon and Audible book sales …
