A review of something other than books (for a change) but that is still intimately related to storytelling and storytellers. I’ve picked up a set of Rory’s Story Cubes (specifically, the orange “Original” set and the green “Voyages” set) a few years a ago as something to do with my daughters. This was before I […]

Happy Saturnalia! A year in review
Happy mid-winter (mid-summer) to all! While northern-hemispherers are stuffing themselves with last harvest’s preserves, and sourthern-hemispherers are chucking another shrimp on the barbie in the languid heat, I thought I’d offer a review of the year that passed and the year to come, at least as it pertains to Felix and his adventures. I started […]
A break: The important things
Thanks for everyone who had inquired after my health – I’m alive and well. I’m taking a break from social media. I have been spending far too much time on various platforms, which was detracting from my life elsewhere. I have decided to step back and focus on the important things in my life: family, […]
Interview Roundup – these were fun ones :)
David Ellis of TooFullToWrite was kind enough to interview me on his blog. He had some unusual questions… What would you choose as your own personal mascot or spirit animal when it comes to you and your style of writing? Felix is called “the fox” for a reason. He is cunning, relying on quick wits […]
That moment when…
…Goodreads’ #1 Best Reviewer, Archit Ojha, gives your novel 5 stars! 🙂 Don’t think. Just delve in! When a murder happens in mysterious circumstances, you better should know whom to contact. This suspicious death asks us to invite the lead protagonist, Felix. Because of the political influences, the murder gets its full publicity. Sounds interesting, […]
Author and Character Interview Roundup
Some media appearances of late 🙂 I was interviewed by Bryan Aiello for his Origin: Stories on Creativity series. We had a really fun discussion about writing, history, creativity, and everything in between. Bryan is a wonderful host, and it a lively discussion: For those who prefer the written word, I was interviewed on Kelly […]
C’est fini
That’s it. It’s over. I’m done with it. Surely writing “The End” on yet another manuscript is the sweetest feeling ever 🙂 This one took a lot longer than Murder In Absentia. I blame the baby. I hope that as he grows up, I’ll get the next books finished quicker… So what’s next? And when […]
Need some pizzazz in your book marketing?
My Facebook author page is almost at 1,000 likes, so I thought it’s… To help nudge the page over the 1,000 likes, I’m running a giveaway! I’ll create some marketing material, to help you promote your books. This can be straight up promo images, or a social media banner, or even an animated .gif. Whatever […]
Interview time
Yes, me again. But also Felix. Cause we all love Felix. He interviews better than me anyway. K. Caffee, a prolific author of epic fantasy and creator of the mischievous Pukah, runs a series where she interviews both the authors and their characters. The interviews are not done via prepared questions, but rather as an […]
Quirks? What do you mean, my quirks?
Another day, another interview 🙂 This one is courtesy of Ami Lutkus-Phillips, writing as Mackenzie Flohr. Here’s an excerpt: Question 5) What would you say is your interesting writing quirk? Historically-accurate food. Well, mostly historically accurate. I love cooking and food in general, and that seeps into my writing. I enjoy tremendously researching old recipes, and integrating […]
