Well here I go again! I just finished Rave Girl: Change My Mind , and I've already started on a new sci-fi / fantasy web novel, Protostar: Error in Transmission . This is my first foray into this arena, but I'm hoping it'll have some benefits. First off, this book is currently free to read! So click the link above or the book cover below, and have at it. Second, this book is incomplete. Only chapter one is done, and I'll upload the rest as soon as I'm done writing each one. I'm aiming for a chapter a week... we'll see how that goes, but I should be able to pull it off. Anywho, below is the description. I think this'll be a fantastic story and merges the worlds of science fiction and fantasy, in a hopefully fun and entertaining way. Enjoy! ***** Captain Kane St. James never expected his post-service life to be as exciting and outlandish as this. Leading the IFS Protostar, a retrofitted frigate now scout vessel, St. James and his crew of five would commonl...

Luckily, I'm better at finishing full-length novels than I am at updating this poor blog! In any case, I'm shamelessly plugging my new science fiction novel, Rave Girl: Change My Mind ! It took me about two years (very on and off) to finish this one, but I'm very happy with how it turned out. So if you enjoy fast paced action / adventure sci-fi with a large helping of humor / comedy, then you're gonna enjoy this! Below is a synopsis and the book cover (which I designed using Blender 3D and finished up with GIMP). Give it a try and leave me some feedback, or better yet, a review. Us indy authors need all the help we can get with the exposure. Synopsis: Allegra could never have imagined how different, how extraordinary, her life would become, just by being in the right place at the right time after a rave. Who could’ve thought that after a long day of dancing and euphoria, she’d end up saving the life of an extra-terrestrial? Or did her ET bestie, Kay’k, save her? After y...

I'm having a blast writing. My book on how to make longboards is about 85% done. Most of the text is there, but I still need some images of decks being glued up, along with those that have a design. As you might guess, that means I actually need to build those decks. Good news is that I have three sanded down nicely, awaiting for their graphics to be applied. That's definitely easier said than done, but I'm hoping my brain will come up with something to adorn those boards. Then I can finally take a few more photos, and finish up that opus. But being one of those people that can't seem to keep busy enough, I've already started on another project. I've always wanted to write a work of fiction, and have finally dug in. This is actually not the first time I've attempted writing one though... in fact, this is my third attempt. Writing a strong work of fiction is by no means a simple feat. My first two attempts failed, as I simply lacked the knowledge required...
