In 2015, my kids were heavily into both Portal games and dinosaurs. So, I wrote a short story featuring elements of the portal games, a pair of tyrannosaurus rexes (which my kids named), and a heap of terrible troodon. It also starred my kids. They loved it, and it was read and re-read aloud for […]
This is part two of a summary provided by the Norhaven Institute about the key events to the Battle of the Strand. Please check out part one for information about the lead-up to the battle. It provides a lot of the exposition and the reasons why it occurred with details about those involved.
For the last 30 days, I’ve been engaged in a communal activity called Blog June. Its purpose is to promote bloggers to post. At least every day, if possible, but it’s not a requirement, just a goal. People are generally time poor and so garnering enough energy to blog can be difficult. Plus, coming up […]

After reading snail’s post about Flexnib’s post about Bibliotheque Bound’s post, I’ve decided to add this post to the posticle about work spaces. I have a work desk (or at least part of one). It contains a computer (a laptop) as well as several removable hard-drives, and a multi-functional laser printer. It also contains a […]
In comparison, it’s not much, but recently my novel Coils of the Serpent crossed the 10,000 views mark on Royal Road. The more popular works receive that many in a day, but it is almost two years to the day since I posted the first chapter there. Add in the few thousand views the novel […]
Yesterday, I wrote about how I have difficulty reading whenever I’m deeply involved in a writing project. Well it’s the same for coding. I can’t seem to do both at the same time.
