I actually broke through much of my story logjam yesterday as I played Arkham Knight (my go-to for Xbox induced flow-state), but there are a few more details to work through, so...
Back to Gotham I go!

Gas Giant Gambit did the same for me writing it!

I am about to do something I find utterly horrifying. I'm going to restring my goalie glove. I have never modified any of my (*very expensive*) equipment in such a drastic way, and my whole brain is screaming at me not to screw it up...

Gas Giant Gambit currently sits at #19 in Science Fiction: Androids, Robots & Artificial Intelligences on US Amazon.
Of the 18 ahead of it:
- 13 are Martha Wells.
- 3 are Dan Simmons.

I'm not hyperventilating. YOU'RE hyperventilating.

I was pretty good with the whole "book marketing" thing before Gas Giant Gambit came out, but now it feels like I don't know what I'm doing anymore.
Anyway, if you like action and adventure with heart, a diverse cast, "a compelling queer protagonist" and found family vibes, you'll love this!

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

One thing you may not know about me is that I taught myself to sew in high school for the sole purpose of repairing my hockey equipment.
I'm not great at it, but I'm good enough to get the job done, and the skill has transferred to more than one cosplay!
Just completed this repair job last night 🏒🙂

Went pumpkin picking with family this past weekend and experienced my first real corn maze (the mazes of my youth were straw bale).
There's just something so otherworldly about being among the stalks, even in broad daylight.

My local comic con vendor table applications have been confirmed!

My very first con as a published author is *this Saturday* Ocotber 4th, in Cobourg, Ontario!

Local comic con vendor table applications sent!
I obviously still need confirmation from Pop Culture Canada, but barring anything unforeseen, I will be at:

- Cobourg ComiCon on Oct. 4
- Oshawa ComiCon on Dec. 27
- Peterborough ComiCon on Jan 4

Come meet me and get your copy of Gas Giant Gambit!

Had a fantastic first book signing ever today! A huge thank you to all my friends and family that dropped by, and especially to all the strangers who stopped to chat and buy a book from a debut author.
All in all, I couldn't be happier with this experience. Here's looking forward to many more!

I'm at the Oshawa Centre Indigo signing books right now!
Come say hi and get your copy of Gas Giant Gambit!

Woo!
Another 5 star review for Gas Giant Gambit, this one including a direct comparison to Firefly and The Mandalorean!
What more could a space-western author ask for?

I tried to clean my pads with 70% isopropyl alcohol, but nothing works quite like Lectric Shave. So weird.
Either way, I got some and finished cleaning in time for the first game of the season on Sunday!

If you're in southern Ontario this weekend, and like a good sci-fi book, come by the Oshawa Centre Indigo and say hi!
I'll be there at 12:00 Saturday, and staying for as long as they'll let me!

More than five years in the making from inception to publishing, my debut novel Gas Giant Gambit is out TODAY!

Thank you, Alex Parker Publishing, for taking a chance on me and this category denying genre mashup tale!

The facts that not only do these things exist, but I have them displayed among the library Jessie and I have accumulated over our two lifetimes, absolutely blows my mind.
Now I just need to write enough of them to fill the shelf!
