So this morning, while I should have been editing Linear Shift, Part 2, I decided to practice my nearly perfected skill set of procrastination and surf a bit of the internet. I follow a number of authors on Facebook, as well as read their blogs. One of those happens to be Hugh Howey. He is like my virtual guide to authorship. His inspiring story is enough to convince anyone they can write. It certainly convinced me. Anyway, while on his blog this morning, I read … Read more

It looks like I am at it again. I just launched a new Kickstarter Campaign for Linear Shift, Part 2. I was hoping not to do so, as I wanted to fund everything for Part 2 from sales of Part 1. To date, I have sold a total of 75 copies, and at .35 cents each, I am just over $26 in royalties. Hopefully, with Part 2 coming out, overall sales will increase. Without further delay, here’s the campaign. If anything, click over to see … Read more

I’ve been writing just about every day on Linear Shift, Part 2, and I am through 9 of the 17 planned scenes for the book. I have had a running word count target of 23,000 words, but updated it to 26,000 words a scene or two into the process. Well, I am here to update it again! After writing through the half way point of scene, I am now estimating the target count to come in around 32,000 words. And honestly, I think I will … Read more
Many many moons ago, I wrote a short story. That was the beginning of my obsession with writing. The time saw winter of 1998, and my daughter was about a year and a half. She was the inspiration behind my short story called Amy. I wrote the 1,600 word piece on an afternoon, and felt pretty proud. It wasn’t because I felt the story was top shelf stuff. Heck no, it was my first real story that I completed. Until then, I had started many … Read more
