So, yeah, I have a website now.

 So, What's The Deal Here?


I haven't written for a blog in a long time, but I thought this was the best way to make a one-stop guide to all my projects. I'm not a graphic designer or anything, and I'm more interested in sharing what I'm working on, what ideas were behind what I've made, and just having a reliable way to update all of you. All hundreds of you. Or thousands. Surely, I have reached the homes of millions by now.

So, that's what the deal is here.


So, What Can I Find Here?


At the moment? Jack and squat. And Jack left the building. If you click the sidebar all the way in the top left you'll find pages about my books. All my books have descriptions and links to their Amazon pages. The highest any of those books will run you is like twenty bucks. I'm not exactly selling myself at a high value. I plan on posting here at least once a week. I'll post about stories, characters, aspects of my life that made their way into what I've written. That's the general idea.


So, Why Should I Buy a Book?


Because reading is fun? That's what public school taught me. Right after how mitochondria works, how to divide numbers, and how to saw wood into a stepstool. See, people like to ask me, "well, what do you write about", and "all kinds of stuff" is too vague an answer. Truth is, I write like a splash of paint; I try to get everywhere. Science fiction, fantasy, comedy, action, mythology, superheroes, horror, oh the horror! I write poetry, I write memoirs, I write novels and anthologies. Mostly, I write fiction.


Legendary Marvel writer Stan Lee once said that if he wrote for himself, odds are someone out there would be enough like him to like what he's writing. Pixar director Ralph Eggleston pushed for their movies to be about "character first". If I ever got to the same heights those guys got to, my evergreen advice would be, "make the mask look good, and make the face mean something".


That can be applied to a lot of what I write, and I hope to go more into that as time goes on here. I try to cast a wide net so, if you don't like horror, you don't have to read my horror books. You can read my fantasy. Don't like fantasy? Maybe you'd like my poetry or my comedic stories. I want to create something for everyone, because everyone deserves a story. Everyone deserves that escape or that connection or that entertainment. When I feel down on myself about writing, I remember all of that. Because, yeah it makes me happy to write, but it might make someone out there even happier to read.


And that means everything to me.


More to come in the future. Hope you'll stick around and do some reading yourself. Be safe.

Ravenous; My Take on The Fantasy Genre

Image
-A Scrumptious Synopsis- "Ravenous" is a fantasy novel that takes place throughout the right side of the Block Continent. It follows Jack, a travelling chef with a Medieval foot cart. He is joined by Bleu, his mentor who had been turned into a frog, and Gote, a horse strong enough to pull a whole kitchen behind her. Jack wants to reach The North Kingdom to join their community of chefs, but along the way he finds himself making new friends and battling an assortment of enemies-including his own father. Over his journey, Jack grows closer with his new friends, but his friends also face the consequences of knowing him. -Our Catering Cast of Characters- Jack may be our main character, but he meets plenty of interesting folks along the way. Colby is a mechanic who upgrades Jack's food cart and joins him on his voyage-albeit reluctantly. Pepper is a charismatic thief with the ability to wipe people's memories. Bree is a fairy who's known Jack almost as long as Bleu. Sh...

Not Another Paranormal Detective

  -Creating a Character- Creating a character is like taking care of a plant; you gotta put time and care into nurturing them. Some of the richest characters in fiction only got to where they are because people cared about them. Their stories, their voice, their actions. That's the powerful thing about fiction, with the right character and the right story; something small can become something legendary, timeless, and relevant. Now-contrary to the previous soapbox-I am not good at taking care of plants. I had a cactus once. Those are meant to be easy. I have created a lot of characters for my books, but few are characters I've revisited and created new stories for. One such example of a revisited character is Christopher Fable and Barreaus. -The Detective- Christopher Fable is the main character of "Inside Job" (featured in Addiction 2 Fiction; Volume 2) and "The Rub" (featured in Addiction 2 Fiction; Volume 3). He also makes his very first appearance in Chap...

Scaping The Surface

  -Ties Between Tales- If you become a writer/author, heed my words; you don't need to connect your books together. However, I am a glutton for interconnected universes and so, yes, my books are connected in way or another. Reappearing franchises like "Maelstrom" or "Elemon" appear in multiple books, and characters from some books appear in other books. The most important tether between my books are The Worldscapes. The Worldscapes are five places that are like realms, or dimensions, or states of being. While there may be many universes and realities, the Worldscapes are linked throughout. Let's walk through them. The Fleshscape I know. It sounds gross. But, by my logic, everything living and intelligent has some sort of flesh. In my books, The Fleshscape is the closest thing to our real world. Unlike the other scapes, The Fleshscape encapsulates multiple realities. So, the physical world of "Zeus Did It Again" and the physical world of "Raven...
