Today's the day!
After three years my debut novel The Human Countermove is now available to purchase on Amazon (www.amazon.com/dp/B0FM9R7T5F)! It’s a cerebral, near-future sci-fi built from my love of strategy games.

Why does my most popular Tiktok have to be the one where I wore my shirt backwards and it bunched up super weird? Why couldn't I have worn a different shirt 😢 #tiktok #writing #selfpub

Only 2 more sales for my one-year goal on my debut novel. At this point it's basically guaranteed, but man it feels good. #SelfPub #Selfpublishing #Novelist

A mysterious and fantastical word appeared in my book a few weeks back. All over the place too. Today I figured out where it came. Good ole' find and replace swapping four letters from a much more benign word. #FantasyWriting #WritersLife

It's embarrassing how long it took for me to realize I had to turn the gimbal ON for it to work.

My first 30 days of my debut novel. I never imagined I could get nearly a book a day sold online, and all that doesn't count pre-orders and farmer's markets! #selfpublishing #novelist

Wow, this book sales thing is easy. All I needed was a bunch of liquored up friends at a Halloween party. The downside is I can't remember what I wrote inside their books. #SelfPublishing

Elevating Action Scenes with Second Order Thought
I’ve always had a problem with action scenes. Books, movies, plays, all of them. If an action scene goes longer than a minute, it starts to feel vapid. Thing after thing after thing happens, but no…

Got my tenth review on Amazon! It's been shocking how many people have finished the book and been willing to post a star rating. #Novelist #SelfPub

Had an amazing retreat. Got a short story ready for anthology submission and ate wayyy too many red vines. Worth it #Writing #WritingCommunity #ShortStories

Approaching 2/3rds of my second draft. Only one or two more scenes that need some ironing out. Big picture: I'm having a lot of fun in this portal fantasy. #amwriting #editing #fantasy

Is it healthy to walk to Smith's, buy a treat, and spend the whole walk home eating it? I don't know, but I like it.

Woke up in a daze last night to discover someone had written their name on one of my books, thereby claiming it. It took a few minutes of 2AM brain to realize it was the author's name.
