I’m really looking forward to taking a nice break from everything, and should be good fun. I’ll tweet/FB some pics of the tattoo in progress for those interested. And I’m [...]

So, in addition to getting Blood and Brass out there (it’s currently with beta readers for those interested in the state of affairs there), I’ve been working toward transitioning Gods of Sand and Stone from graphic novel format to a traditional book. It’s been an interesting experience thus far, though it’s getting easier as I [...]

I’m immensely pleased to show this off – the first 2 panels from my graphic novel script Gods of Sand and Stone. Thorne, the creative genius behind the comic Tears and Pain was good enough to work this up for me just for fun. I think it turned out great! BTW, you should really check [...]
