Bet that most recent chapter of Quaranteam: Book Two knocked a few socks off, huh? Next up, I'll have a chapter of Brewster's Brood that'll drop today if I'm lucky, tomorrow if I'm not, and I'm going to try and make sure I'm getting something done for Friday or Saturday. We're back to feeling like I can burn aga...

He certainly wasn’t looking forward to it, but Tommy knew his next stop was Carpenter Station, the coldest location for myths across the world.

Sometimes I wake up with an idea in my head. On Tuesday, I woke up with a large block of content in my head. Usually these are things that I can scribble down into a notebook, or make a handful of notes, and move on with my day. Sometimes I'll write up to a page of an outline or something before I'm ready to s...
