The graphic designer that’s working on the cover art for A Sour Chord emailed me a few tests last night to see what I thought of them. We went back and forth a few times about placement of a few of the components and after going back and adjusting them, we’re just about done. He’s out […]
One night working as a waiter in a tiny restaurant in my hometown, a much older woman gave me her email address after flirting with me all night. You’ll never believe what happened next!
The night was no different than any other night working at Cambridge Soundworks in the Rockingham Mall. But this day, I helped the police capture some guys using stolen credit cards.
Everyone’s got their own unique writing setup. Everyone has what works for them and prefers to work in a certain manner. I have a unique setup, as I spend my non-writing days doing a variety of other jobs; building websites, doing tech support, doing voice recording. I’ve got a unique setup on my desk, so […]
Some friends and I drove all the way up to Lake Winnipesaukee one night to see their girlfriends who were up there with one of their families. We had nowhere to stay, no plans, and didn’t even know where they were staying. But we didn’t let that stop us!
Way back in 2007, I worked for Lycos, managing the customer service department. I got called to testify in a court case out in Los Angeles to help convict someone who was doing illegal things on the internet.

Over the last week, I’ve spent a good amount of time being social. Not in real life, but on Twitter. During the week, I’ve learned one very important thing: the independent writing community is fully of amazing, wonderful, and supportive people. No one’s judging you for wanting to write a book. No one’s trying to […]
That’s how I feel right now. Victorious. As of approximately 2 hours ago, I’m completely done with all of the editing that came back on the 3rd. I have to say, the entire editing process was extremely daunting. I had no idea when I started this thing that it’d be such a chore to read […]
It’s here! It’s here! It’s finally here! Sorry, I’m a bit excited. I got the final edits from my editor over the weekend after what felt like a few days short of eternity. Now that I’ve seen the complete edits, I understand why they took so long. To say that Word’s “Track Changes” contained a […]
The editing process has come to sort of a screeching halt. It seems like that, anyway. I guess I didn’t anticipate that this would take so long. I finished the first draft 9 months ago and have been going through the editing process since. So far, I’ve: Had Austin read through the whole thing and […]
