Writing the good fight and hopefully not writing wrongs!
Last updated FriNov0725
This is the sister website to Ian Wood's Novellum where I used to blog book reviews, but since I reached 5,000 reviews (give or take), I decided to retire from reviewing. I'm still reading; I'm just not gabbing about what I read anymore. The time I save on not reviewing any more books, I'll expend on more creative pursuits. I'm thinking-up ideas for stories far faster than ever I can write them so I really need the extra time. Either that or another six hands, three more brains, and three more computers.
Anyway: this is the place to come for updates on my novels, for rambling about writing them, for sneak peaks and sample chapters, and that's been taking shape. All of the children's, middle-grade, young adult, and adult-oriented novels I've written are available on Apple iBooks, Barnes and Noble, and Google books (hereinafter referred to as the Titular3). I refuse to do business with Amazon or with Kobo Books, so you will never find my novels there.
The Princesses' Waltz is now available on Google Play and Barnes and Noble, and soon to be added to Apple as soon as Apple gets out of its own way. Next up is a collection of short stories, which is now completed in first draft at 93,000 words. There are ten stories in a variety of genres, including one that is novella length. I aim to publish this before Thanksgiving. The next novel is already cued up to go with 4,000 words written already, and it will be a tongue-in-cheek horror story.
Marvel's Collapsing Universe my first and probably only non-fiction work, is now available on the Titular3 platforms. It's an amateur fan's look at what's wrong with the MCU, and how it might be fixed. Full of observations, insights, humor, anecdote, and critique. It covers everything right up to Thunderbolts. It will be updated every time a new Marvel movie or TV show is released (excluding Daredevil Born Again, which is the first Marvel movie/TV show that I refuse to watch on principle!). I already wrote the Ironheart portion, but given how underwhelming that has been, I'm waiting until Fantastic Four comes out to include that before the next update.
On the topic of the Little Rattuses™, The Very Obstreperous Little Rattuses is now out there for free as usual.
Now I have to get back to writing! Writing! Writing! Keep your pencil up!
