The Once-Lord Beast is coming...

The USA moving to the metric system would be really bad for fantasy.

"The village with the 3-meter-tall ogre is only 10 kilometers away by road" just doesn't have the same ring.

And before you say we'd still remember how much a mile and a foot is... how far is a league?

Saw some products at Hobby Lobby the other day that somewhat reminded me of Horatio the Once-Lord Beast.

It's a great feeling when you know you've written something excellent.

Can't wait to share with you what's coming in the third Horatio the Once-Lord Beast book. But it's coming! (And in the meantime, make sure to pay attention to deer that look a little... off.)

Just saw the new Toy Story 5 teaser.

Looking forward the explanation:

The proof for my monster-hunting, character-driven fantasy novel will be here Sunday!

Just requested a proof of my upcoming fantasy novel!

You can see part of the cover here. Title reveal to come later.

But let's just say it's about a certain minotaur you won't be soon to forget.

I love the concept of fae morality partly because it echoes the way actual moral systems play out in the world. Sometimes the moral codes of others can have a shared seed but utterly alien branches.

One Amazon reviewer wrote: "This was an amazing short story that's a spin on the classic Red Riding Hood with a twist...the wolf is a werewolf...and there's more twists than that, but to avoid spoilers you'll have to find them out yourself!"

Seriously, need to set a tale about the cursed minotaur Horatio in an environment like this.

Setting is important to me, whether a deep forest, a misty land of sparkling black spires, an abandoned manor, or a northern expanse of frost, firs, and unnatural deer...

I have some sharp disagreements with Ayn Rand, but I still think her book *The Art of Fiction* is one of the most penetrating books on the topic for readers and writers alike.

While I think writers can hide their philosophical premises, or even adopt those of another, in general they stand exposed.

From *The Abolition of Man.* A fantastic little book that discusses emotion and reason working in concert together.

Landscapes like this make me want to set one of my tales about the cursed minotaur Horatio in an intercoastal-like environment of twisted trees, watery prairies, and decapitated palms.

For now, Red Wool has a deep forest, and Golden Straw has a strange landscape of mist and sparkling stone spires.

Not dedicated to reading just a single genre by a long shot!

Working on a manuscript where on this next round of revision one of my goals is to make it more magical, colorful, and even whimsical.

That and add a terrifying predatory deer.

The meanings of words and terms are driven by usage, and this term is inconveniently used in ways that describe very different experiences.
