Weekly Update - 10/22/25

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...

Okay then! So, after a complicated last few days, I have come through my colonoscopy and things are looking good to fine. For those of you who just want updates on writing itself, you can tune out here, and I'll see you with a new fiction drop in the next day or two, promise. Those of you who want to keep peering behind the curtain, strap in and...

What a weird few months it's been. I know my output has been down, and I can only apologize for that so many times before it starts to feel hollow, but I'm really tryin', folks. I've gotten half-way through a bunch of chapters and then just run out of gas, so I'm trying to circle back to those and finish those off, but there's been a real sort o...

Captains' Days - Ch. 6

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.

Named after John Carpenter and his classic version of the movie “The Thing,” Carpenter Station was built in 1984 by a handful of mages, dragons, elves and w...

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...

So, how about that Intermission (2:i9), huh? Huh? Crazy, right? I know. It's been in the works for quite a while - I knew I wanted to come back to Billy again, and I wanted to wait until the very end before I did it, because I wanted to make sure it had the impact it needed. I also realized why things are getting a bit harder fo...

Happy Anniversary to Us!

Holy hell, has it really been FOUR YEARS I've been doing this now? I could've sworn I started things in 2022, but as I went to put together this post, nope, we launched in 2021, with the first news post to be on September 29, 2021. I want to thank everyone for the ups and downs we've had, especially over the last year, and for sticking with me. ...

What a long, strange week it's been. I went back to where I grew up for my high school reunion and figured I'd probably be made miserable there, simply because I don't have a wife and kids, like literally everybody else I ran into. That said, I also travel extensively, keep my own hours, work for myself doing a thing I love and I've got a group ...

I should've suspected these weeks were going to be problematic, but I was optimistic. That's my bad. I got the new Have Totem, Will Travel out to people, and I'm currently sitting in an airport, heading back to my hometown for my high school class reunion, and there's a certain pressure that comes from that, compounded by the fa...

I hadn't really intended to start something new, but this is the danger you get when you're talking with other creative friends. People can plant ideas in your brain, and it just digs in like a tick beneath the skin. One of my close friends was bemoaning to me how futuristic gameshow stories like "The Running Man," "Battle: Royale" and "The Hung...
