What’s up friends,

So I am participating (sort of) with TuacaCon 2011, brought to you by SpecficMedia.  I will list for you a couple of links to find out what on earth is going on.

First the link to watch all of the fun! http://www.ustream.tv/channel/tuacacon

Next the schedule: http://specficmedia.com/2011/11/12/tuacacon-schedule/

You’ll note that I am not on the schedule, but I am a back up reader and eye candy… lol.

Come join us for a good time!

Hello my frequent visitors and friends,

Well it is 2011 and I hope you all had a wonderful and safe holiday. Mine was filled with a lot of laughter, great food, great people (thanks Val and Bri), and (I will admit) a little bit of alcohol. So everyone makes resolutions for the new year… and few stick to them. As for me I make goals. Sometimes I reach them and sometimes I don’t. Last year my goal was to finish the novella “Prisoners of the Alliance” with my partner in crime, David Sobkowiak. We succeeded and I also finished the first draft of another novel, which was pretty damn cool. It makes me think that a lot more things are possible having made those goals and I am very grateful for the people who supported me and challenged me all the way. I always did love a good competition (thanks Brand). Read the rest of this entry »

Halfway through my first NaNoWriMo and let me tell you, I am tired. This is the start of week 3 and I am at 65% as you can see on my lovely progress meter. As far as the story goes, I have had a thought on the ending and am no longer sure if it will end the same way as I planned. Read the rest of this entry »

and I’ll read if I want to.

Alright people. I’ve got 2 hours before my reading on Dragon*Cant.  So here’s what I want you all to do. At 3 PM EST I want you all to go to the Dragon*Cant UStream channel and listen to me read. Comment; Ask me Questions; Raise a glass with me. It’s my 25th Birthday today, so I can rent a car now… But I would much rather have all of you fun people there to support my reading and supporting Dragon*Cant.

So what did I choose to read? Read the rest of this entry »

I'm recording here!

Attention Readers! Your assistance is needed.

If you are not part of the podcasting or con community, umm, well this post may seem a little strange to you. If you are… then I am pretty sure you know all about Dragon*Con and all the bozos who are there WITHOUT ME!   All bitterness aside, some wonderful people: Brand Gamblin, Allison Duncan, and Nathan Lowell; have actually created a site called Dragon*Cant for all the people who can’t make it to Dragon*Con, like me. Makes sense right.

So that being said, I offered (mostly to see if they would accept me) to do a reading for them. Surprisingly, I got a slot on Monday at 3 pm EST.  So after a poll on Twitter, it looks like most people want me to read from Prisoners of the Alliance. This is the part where I need your help. I am having a REALLY hard time picking one, cause I like them all so much. So I will post a list here of the Chapters and who they are about. I will chose two episodes to read based on your responses.

**Note**  I read male voices very poorly. Read the rest of this entry »

Surgery:

The countdown is on for my surgery on September 16th. Read the rest of this entry »

Sorry for the delay folks this month has been a whirlwind of activity for me. So let’s start off with the holiday, Independence Day, or for everyone else… July 4th.  I got the oppurtunity to actually get away and go for a long walk to Cedar Swamp a few miles away from where I live. It was a good workout. I got to meet one of the local firemen who let me re-fill my water bottle at the station on the say back home. Here is my blog from that day. Read the rest of this entry »

I have arrived home. Well it was last week, but I spent so much time getting back into the daily routine of work, writing, recording, finding new audio to listen to… but I reminded myself that I need to update my lovely site.

There has been a lot of new things by me that have come out since I’ve been home. Read the rest of this entry »
