I wrote 745 words today on book 3 of The Ghost and the Mask. It's not a lot, but it's more than my daily goal, which is only 500 these days. It used to be 1000, and I hope to get back up to that, but the time just isn't in the day right now. …

The Wind on the Blade is here
My book of short stories about the victims of the killer in my debut novel, Headless, is finally here. Here's the blurb: The katana flashes in the night, its blade reflecting the fluorescent glow of the train station lights. A head rolls onto the tracks.The tales within tell the stories of five of the victims …
Proofing The Wind on the Blade
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 …

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 …
