A few things to touch on this time around. November means the beginning of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) and, just as I do every year, I'm participating once more. In the eight years I've been doing NaNoWriMo, I've only ever finished one novel I began for it. The others…

Sentinels: Apocalypse Rising
This is the third book in Van Allen Plexico's excellent Sentinels series of superhero novels, and the conclusion to The Grand Design trilogy. As a writer moves further and further into a series, some of the magic that was present at the beginning can begin to fade. The characters become overly familiar,…
SoulQuest Cover Coming Along!
Today I've got something special for you. Brad Horton is hard at work on the cover. If you follow me on Twitter, you probably saw I posted a small headshot from Brad recently. Well, I woke up this morning to find the image you see to your left waiting for me…

The Muddling Middle
Yesterday, I passed the 25K mark on SoulQuest, so I've hit the middle of my 50K goal. Crossing the 50% mark on a project is both exciting and scary and it's when I enter what I like to call the Muddling Middle. On every project, when I hit the 50% mark,…
Dillon and the Pirates of Xonira
They say that the only certainties in life are death and taxes, but I've got a third certainty: a Derrick Ferguson Dillon yarn will always be spectacular. I'm no stranger to Ferguson's writing or the world of Dillon. I was both fortunate and unfortunate enough to jump onboard when the…
The Next Big Thing: SoulQuest
I was tagged in this game by Mark Bousquet earlier this month (which shows you how off my memory can be as I just remembered). The Next Big Thing is a little game where you answer ten interview questions about your upcoming project and then tag five writers in it. For…
