On Weddings
As is customary for me in April, I’ve begun crafting the next novel in the Vasily Korsokovach series. Tentatively titled Bliss, it picks up literally a day after the final events in Aftermath, and as you might infer from the title, it just happens to be the story where — at long last — Vas…

Fun in the Sun
As experiences go, there are few that I’ve done that measure up the uniqueness that is the Tucson Festival of Books. I’ve been an avid fan since it started, and have spent many happy hours over the years listening to authors talk about their craft. I can’t tell you how many amazing discoveries I’ve made…

Aftermath Completed
I’m just back from an amazing long weekend in Southern California, visiting with friends while taking part in what will be the last Disneyland Half Marathon weekend for a bit; with all of the upcoming park construction, runDisney is pausing events in Anaheim, though they will still take place out in Orlando.

Podcast: Baubles

While NaNoWriMo may no longer exist, the patterns I developed when it was in full swing continue to this day, though I have to admit, the accountability the little word counter their website offered during…

Coasted
At the risk of paraphrasing a classic song from the late 1970s, I’m back in Arizona after a whirlwind long weekend running through various parks at Walt Disney World. I’m still a bit tired – it will take a few more days to recover from putting that many miles on my body – but the afterglow of…

Finishing Touches and What’s To Come
I spent part of this past weekend putting the finishing touches on Belie, due out in a few weeks. Most of this effort was spent tweaking the cover art and then scanning the manuscript for any last-minute, egregious errors that might come back to haunt me later in the series. I have long lived in fear of accidentally…

New Normal
Sean must face what his life has become – and the choices he has made to get there.
