A lonely writer wandering in query land until I find my publisher.
Do you need to be a little crazy to write a gigantic fantasy novel and think people will actually read it?

I believe that if you pursue your passion with all your heart, the universe will guide you where you need to be.

Is it harder to write a 170k word novel that carries the reader's attention or the one line hook at the very beginning?

I started watching Trigun Stampede and I was immediately in my feels. A decade ago my brother who has now passed binged the OG Tri-gun with me.

Stories are important because they make us feel things we don't feel anywhere else. Yes, they are escapism but they are also much more.

I became a writer because 🎵 work sucks, I know 🎵 unironically became my life's anthem.

I'd like to connect with more book readers, and specifically the readers of big fantasy books. Any readers out there interested in connecting with an aspiring fantasy author?

The tag line of my WIP: Would you destroy the world to save your soul mate?

Revising is easy...until you hit that one paragraph that never feels right no matter how many times you rewrite it.

Daily walks are what allow me to keep sanity. I work from home and then I write. If I don't force myself outside it's easy to forget there's an outside world. Also sun. Sun is good for you 🌞

Calling all creatives. Can I meet people that love books? If you like to write, read or talk about books, please say hi 👋

Mix and mingle the rosy drought,
Fill it with your happy thoughts.
One part flesh, one part scaled,
To behold what the tower holds.

It is better to have an epic creature that is cliché like a dragon? 🐉

Or a dragon replacement like a chasmfield or the Vord to add some origality? 🕷

Take the step through that door, my friends. You're always just a few minutes of work away from stepping closer to your dreams.

There are three things a Hellseed needs to open and for the demon within to be reborn: the blood of a human, warm air that giveth life and the desire for power from a willing servant.

Being a writer is sitting through the doldrums of life, working at a horrible job, struggling to make enough money to live, having your wife get diagnosed with a persistent illness and still being wise enough to synthesize all of that human struggle into a story that shows how beautiful life can be.

Who is the most underrated fantasy/sci-fi writer of all time and why is it Tad Williams?
