As a writer, juggling multiple tasks is part of the game. From brainstorming ideas to engaging with my community, there’s a lot on my plate. That’s where Basecamp comes in. This all-in-one tool has become my go-to for managing my writer’s business. Here’s why.

Hello, everyone! If you’ve been following my journey, you know that I hit the pause button on my writing for about six months. It wasn’t an easy decision, but sometimes life throws curveballs that you just can’t ignore. Between work, family, and programming Verkilo, my plate was full. But guess what? I’m back, and I couldn’t be more excited to pick up where I left off.

Last month, I mentioned a pivot toward writing software. The problem with someone like me is that I have many interests and want to pursue them all at once. I managed to timebox my software venture to six months, April to October. I hit a good stopping point a couple weeks ago on the software project. This week, I returned to my current work-in-progress Ameliorate. This is the first of the Naval Quartet, following the adventures of Ambrose Litovio after...

I’m back with another update, released about every six weeks.  I read something this Summer that coaxed me to start watching classic westerns. Stepping back into the 1930s with classic westerns, I’ve discovered a treasure trove of inspiration. These films, raw and unrefined like home movies, carry a charm that echoes the spirit of self-publishing. In an era shaped by the Hay’s Code, storytellers had to craft wholesome entertainment. This challenge resonates with me as I write my science fiction...

This article summarizes what I’ve been working on for the past six months. In a later post, I will summarize what I’ve been doing to prepare for future novel writing series, and how I’ve used AI to help. My writing year runs from October to September because of my birth month. This year’s plan was to draft four novels, but I added a fifth because I was plugging away so well with a new series. I had two books in...

Hey there!

Welcome back, everyone. You may know me as an author. However, of late, I’ve taken a deliberate pause from my usual writing pursuits. This hasn’t been because of a loss of passion, but more about balancing life’s many responsibilities. Work, family, and other commitments have taken center stage, leaving little time for my writing. However, I’m still an author at heart, and I’m excited to share my latest update with you.

It’s me, your favorite science-fiction author, reaching out with an update on my writing adventures over the past three months. I apologize for the delay in bringing you this blog post, but rest assured, it’s because I’ve been hard at work creating more out-of-this-world stories for you. So, let’s jump right into what I’ve been up to recently.

I’m a member of the International Association of Science Fiction Authors (IASFA). This organization has dozens of authors from around the globe who write the gambit of Science Fiction and Fantasy.

Howdy. Now that we are well into the Christmas holiday season, I hope that you and yours are doing well. My family is doing as well as can be expected. My oldest is within a year of earning his Aircraft and Propulsion certificate, and my second oldest wrapped up his first year of college (we started him a bit early). I think my wife finally understands and accepts my desire to write novels. That only took a couple decades.
