I love video games. And it’s a great time to love video games. There are games that are light-years beyond anything I used to play as a kid available all over the web for free. It’s freaking awesome. To...

I finished up my photo project over the weekend. I have no idea how it turned out. More on that in a bit. For now I will simply direct your eyes to where they have already most likely turned, the collage (montage?) below. This is, oddly, not the finished product...

The new book has begun to scare me recently with the number of new characters it continues to spawn. Linus, Lun-Yi, Fatboy, Memphis, Gary, Madeline, Janice, Filip, Pintar, David, Calliope…the list goes on. ...

There’s a nice sense of…knowledge that comes at the end of a section. For me, anyway. My stories tend to break into nice large chunks that make perfect sense to me and provide much needed structure. An...

Part two of Persistent Illusions is done. The rough draft, anyway. When I typed “Part Two” into the site I use to dig up stock photos some weird auto-correcting-search-suggester changed it to “Parrot Two,” which is how I wound up with the headlining photo. I opte...

For the past year I’ve been going into the park every Sunday and standing in the same spot and taking the same shot of the mall. In theory when the year is over I’ll have a bunch of pictures that I will then assemble into a collage showing the mall as it changes through the seasons. In...
