Late nights. Strong coffee. A binder full of edits.
That’s my writing life.

From scribbled notes to final upload—it’s messy, brutal, and worth every second.

Just tore through Ken Lozito’s First Colony series—gritty space battles, frontier survival, and heroes who don’t quit. Think Firefly meets Halo with a colony-builder twist.

Wrote a blog on why it hooked me:

Did you know Cole Butler and Wes Antrim from Frontier Ranger are named after real-life gunslingers?
Cole’s last name nods to Wild Bill Hickok (James Butler Hickok), and Wes is a mashup of John Wesley Hardin and Billy the Kid’s alias, Antrim.
