    The Wedding Fund

    As many of our friends already know, James Melzer and I are getting married this coming October. We are planning a very small wedding on October 31, 2010, in my hometown of Muncy, PA. No matter the size of one’s wedding, getting married is expensive. Because we are an international couple, we need to apply [...]

    Black Velveteen in Brave Blue Mice

    I just got word this morning that my short story, Black Velveteen, is being reprinted in the December edition of Brave Blue Mice online magazine. What an exciting piece of news to start the day off on the right foot. I hope that even if you’ve already read Black Velveteen, or listened to the [...]

    Commitment Report Vol XX

    It’s Thanksgiving, and while I am not celebrating traditionally, seeing as Canadian Thanksgiving was in October, this year I have a lot to be thankful for. For the first time in many years, I know I am on the right path in my life. I’ve had a lot of my work accepted for publication this [...]

    Goblin Market Review

    Hi guys. Two blog posts in one day. Look at that. I’m on a roll. I wanted to take a second to share this really nice review by Mur Lafferty over on the TOR blog.

    I have so much respect for Mur as both a writer and a podcaster, so I was incredibly flattered by [...]

    THIS WEEK IN AWESOME

    Happy Halloween everyone, and welcome back to another edition of THIS WEEK IN AWESOME! I took a two week hiatus on account of the site hacking issues I explained in an earlier blog, but now I’m back and trust me when I tell you I HAVE BROUGHT THE AWESOME! I have some incredibly cool stuff [...]

    THIS WEEK IN AWESOME

    This last week I’ve been really busy working on my new novel, spending less time on the net and Twitter, so I when it came to pulling the AWESOME together, I feel a little stretched. Of course, that explains why it took me until Saturday to really smooth it all out. I do have some [...]

    The Commitment Report Vol IV

    I suppose there is much in the way of commitment to be announced here in this blog.

    First, I want to talk about the most wonderful kind of commitment there is. Marriage. As many of our friends on Twitter and Facebook discovered yesterday, James asked me to marry him. In the course of my life, [...]

    Operation Commitment Report Vol II

    This commitment to self thing has been a real boost, let me tell you. I feel incredibly driven, and the fact that I am putting all of this responsibility on myself for once has really been paying off.

    I finished my short article and submitted to the zombie guide anthology Sunday evening around 9 PM. [...]

    Commit to Yourself

    Committing one’s self to writing is not an easy task. I decided when I graduated from university with a degree in English and Creative Writing, I could not settle for a job that did not include writing on some scale. What I wanted more than anything else was to write full time, preferably fiction and [...]

    The Importance of Community

    Over the last few weeks I’ve felt the joy and excitement of being part of a supportive community of friends and fellow writers. I’ve always had luck finding good people to work and share with, and in that way I consider myself truly blessed. Not only do you have the added benefit of [...]
