Maybe I need to rethink this “write every day” thing. It’s a standard idea among authors, so, when I don’t, it gives me unnecessary pressure. I have a job, I’m producing daily content on social media for marketing purposes, and I’m trying to work out regularly. Sometimes, I just don’t have the time to write. […]

Inspiration for All: An Interview with Brandon Goode
I had the pleasure of coming across a new LGBT fantasy author on Twitter and I just knew that we would have an interesting conversation. Brandon Goode released his debut novel, The Secrets of Eden, about a week prior to our interview. As a new author in the fantasy genre myself, I knew we would have some […]
Why I Loved The New Power Rangers Movie
Last weekend I finally saw the Power Rangers remake, and boy, did it exceed my expectations.

We were under the care of his teenage friend and pretending […]
Lawayne Childrey: From Tragedy To Triumph
My interview with Lawayne Childrey was one like no other I had done before. I’ve interviewed other authors about their lives, but never has a story resonated so deeply with me and with those of you who have watched.

As a springboard into exploring feelings long buried, […]

Larry Benjamin: The Art of Words
Last week, I interviewed Larry Benjamin, author of What Binds Us, Unbroken, and most recently, Vampire Rising. He spoke about writing as a way to make some money during a rough time, the line between reality and fiction in his semi-autobiographical novel, and the message of the effects of prejudice and fetishizing any particular group of people. He […]

The Auctorati – A Prequel to Pangaea
*Update* This project is currently on hold. Find out why! A lot of readers of my first book asked when or if there was going to be a sequel to Pangaea. I’m at the point now where I can say, “Yes”, but with a caveat. Before I get to continuing the story of Slade, Douglassaire, […]
