Tweet Yeah, I know what the final result was, but I’m still proud of them. Sometimes no matter how hard you work, the result doesn’t go your way, but they should be proud of what they accomplished.

Reviews for The Digital Sea
TweetSince the publication of The Digital Sea back in January, I’ve been rather busy. I finished the first draft of my alt-history novel The Fires of Alexandria, gotten my YA speculative fiction novel Gamers ready for publication (hopefully to be released in a week) and started on book two for The Digital Sea trilogy – …
I’ve Seen Things…
TweetCertain lines from books and movies haunt me forever. While I can’t remember if this was in the book, it’s been a while since I’ve read, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, the inspiration for the movie Blade Runner, it still gets me. You never see any of the images Rutger Hauer’s character describes, but they …
A New Cover – Sagan’s Law
TweetPeople really do judge a book by its cover. I’m a cover snob myself. Unless I know the author’s work already, a cover will make or break my buying decision in the bookstore after reading the premise. Hell, I won’t even read the premise if I don’t like the cover. It doesn’t make sense, but …

So far I’ve written five novels and twelve short stories utilizing augmented reality and have …

Football and a Chapter
TweetThe last few weeks have been hectic. I’ve finished five shorts, including a requested story for an anthology, and finished the latest edits on my most recent novel Gamers. I still have to type in the edits and write my submission package, but that shouldn’t be too bad, just time consuming. So after an afternoon …
This I Believe
TweetLast week I was searching through my older writings, and I came upon an essay I had written for the This I Believe project on NPR. The way it worked was that anyone could send in an essay, and they would pick the best ones to be read upon the air by the author. They …
New Story – Sagan’s Law
TweetI sold this story two years ago. It was my first story on augmented reality and when the rights reverted back to me a few months ago, I wanted to give people a chance to read it again. Looking back on it, I see the influences of Gibson and our very own augmented reality prophet, …
