Seventy-four thousand years ago, the world didn’t end—but it sure gave it a shot. On the Indonesian island of Sumatra, the Toba supervolcano erupted in a cataclysm so enormous it makes every cinematic volcano disaster look laughable. Pompeii? Amateur hour. Dante’s Peak? A warm-up act. Even Mount Doom from The Lord of the Rings wouldn’t […]

So, I wrote myself all the way into a corner, and didn’t realize it until just a few days ago. If you’ve been following my stories for a while, you might be familiar with the Magorian and Jones series, or the Harley Firebird series, or both. They’re both set in the same fantasy world, with

I literally, about 40 minutes ago, typed “The End” at the bottom of the manuscript for The Divine and Deadly. So the final book of the Magorian and Jones series is done. It’ll be going through the editing process over the next few weeks, then uploaded to take the place of the dummy manuscript that

It’s been a while since I was able to update you on upcoming stories, etc. I’m thrilled to be able to do so, now. I’ve had a rough year or so, with other personal commitments demanding time that I used to use for writing. I’m glad to say those commitments have sorted themselves out, and

I’ve never been involved in a Kickstarter project before. I’ve sponsored many of them (oddly, Brandon Sanderson’s infamous mulit-million dollar campaign was not one of them), but never been part of the building of one. It has been a very interesting experience. I learned that there is a lot of work that goes into building

I’ve been silent for a bit because I’ve been working on the next book in the Magorian & Jones series, The Rivers Ran Red. It’s going very well, so far. Last night, I finished writing the big finale, and today I’ll start the wrap up and set up for the last book in the series,

Today is Canadian Rivers Day, and as water features heavily in book 1 of the Magorian & Jones series, The Memory of Water, and I’m sitting north of the 48th parallel, I feel I can’t let the day go by without a mention of rivers in general and Canadian rivers in particular. Quite apart from
I’m writing this post a little bit ahead of time, and today (when I write this), I just starting plotting out the next book in the Magorian & Jones series. Book title is (currently — and remember that everything might yet change): The Triumph of Felix. If this is your first time on the site

I had a good morning, building the book, this morning. I even took some time out to write the biographies of the two main characters. But the problem I came across was that the biographies wouldn’t make a lot of sense without at least the first book outline in place to set up the milieu.
