Just a quick note (yes another one). I’ve just hit the 30,000 word mark on my novel. Only 20,000 more to go in three days. And as daunting as that sounds, my bigger problem is this: I’m currently standing with MC1 teaming up with MC2 to spy on the bad guys and find a way [...]

Just wanted to give you all a quick update on the the anthology that holds my 5th published short story. It was going to be released on December 1 2009, but due to unforeseen events and deadlines the release date has been pushed back to January 1 2009. I’d rather the editors and owners do [...]
