The World of the diamond imperium – part 2
In part one of this series, I spoke about the Elder races. In this, I also mentioned the Piiril Uprising and the fall of the Enlightened Kingdom. That naturally begs the question of ‘Okay, so what happened?’ I’m going to try to shine a little bit of light on that. The Piiril Uprising came about…

The World of the Diamond Imperium – part 1
As I move closer to when I can actually have The Sanctuary Lock end up in the hands of people, I thought it might be good to provide a bit of background information on the world in case people were curious. It may be this is just me getting my thoughts down paper and no…

Updates!
It’s been a bit since I’ve updated here. So I figure it’s time for that. The Sanctuary Lock: After a year of querying the manuscript, I’m starting the process of self-publishing the novel. I’ve found someone to do a full manuscript edit, and I’m starting to research cover artists. It’s my hope to have it…

Updates galore!
It’s been a while since I’ve updated anything here. While I have reasons for this, we’re just going to skip right over that and get to the meat of things. I’m also going to assume that everyone is okay with this. If you’re not, well, you’ll probably get over it? The Sanctuary Lock: Querying continues…

Writing Day Workshop
While scrolling through BlueSky the other day (if you’re not on BlueSky, I highly suggest it–especially to get away from the Musk of it all), I ran across a series of posts by Joel Brigham (@joelbrigham.bsky.social) going over the query process. One of the things it led me to do was rework the pitch section…

Where things stand
Now that Brynn did me a solid and got the site not looking like a 4 yr old got let loose with wordpress, I suppose I should offer an update on where things are right now for the millions (and MILLIONS) of people who might one day read this. Or just for myself so I…

Getting things going
Steps are being taken to get this website functional–hopefully before MultiverseCon. This is along with the variety of other things I’m trying to get done and worked on before them, including getting a query letter written and shopping my manuscript around to folks. I’m going up next weekend to spend some time with Dan Jolley…
