Last week I announced my goals and publishing schedule for 2021. This week, I originally planned to break out my latest freebie and ring in a new year of free fiction. But before I do that, I have to get a little bit somber. Back in November, I received some sad news from my family …
They say life is what happens while you’re making other plans. That certainly describes my life for the last year and a half. When I changed my publishing strategy for 2019, I had big plans. I wanted to revamp the Eternity’s Empire series so the next few releases would be a bit more polished than …
I don’t watch a lot of anime anymore. I often scroll through Crunchyroll, looking for series I’d like to try. But I rarely stick with them long. Time is a big part of the problem. I don’t have a lot of time to watch long series anymore. But I’m also looking for depth of storytelling. …

All the various packages holding all the disorganized building blocks of your life – the ones you keep precariously perched wherever there was room …
On May 24th the Internet mourned the passing of John “TotalBiscuit” Bain, a prominent game critic, e-sports caster and Youtuber who spent the last four years fighting cancer. On May 28th, the pillars of his podcast gathered to memorialize him, and after listening to their heartfelt memories, I decided to write this post. I never …
I’ve written before that cartoons aren’t always exclusively for kids. Sometimes adults can get a lot out of them, even if they were written for a specific age group.
