Fantasy and science fiction books and blogposts
Short post this week, but a fun one! I encountered the Random City Generator a few months back, and I've really been enjoying playing with it. While I haven't been doing a great deal of mapping for my stories recently, I do use maps a lot to visualize different communities. Previous to this, I have... Continue Reading →
I'm not a pantser, but I'm not a planner either. I'm more of a baker of stories, when it comes down to it.

This week, I've been reminding myself that you can look back, but you can't go back. I'm a self-published author, and when I started this gig I had no idea what I was doing.

Friends, my brain is still oozing from the majesty and magic that was Futurescapes 2018. Accordingly, I'm taking a minute to check in here before running off to do all of the things that I need to do to get caught back up. Thanks for your patience while I was out of town. First of...

What a panel, friends. I am not kidding. I was so honored to share space with my co-panelists, Gary K. Wolfe, Kathleen Jennings, and David D. Levine. They were very passionate about the subject, and came to the panel ready to drop some serious knowledge. I'm not going to get everything we talked about in... Continue Reading →
