For the last year, I have been starting to get better: better at writing daily, at exercising, and at this game called life. And then I stopped. I would love to rationalize my behavior, but I am closing in on my fortieth year of life and frankly, I'm tired. Tired of being too scared to … Continue reading Starting and Stopping

Why Support Patreon?
Last month my royalties for my book, Blood Child, were less than $5.00. That's right. I made less than a fiver for a book that took me nearly two years to produce, not including the time it took to write. And you know what I am overjoyed... seriously. I am happy about it.
