I recently sat down for an interview with fellow Dark Fire Press writer and creator, Jorge Medina (Wonder Duck) about the latest Chadhiyana: Rekindled comic and issues to follow it in this latest series. If I can be so bold as to say it, I feel this interview was so well conducted (and I’m really happy with how concisely I answered the questions), so please give it a read.  Read more… ›

I’ve had so much going on in all directions (new books, upcoming projects, publishing as Dark Fire Press, interviews, conventions, etc) that it’s worth writing a single blog post that puts all the information out in one place.

First, though it’s been over a month, some big things have happened in that time (it’s just been a little difficult to catch up everyone on every platform I have).

That’s added to the release of And They Call it Mummy Love (on ComiXology and IndyPlanet), and the forthcoming The Tainted Ones comic, and it’s only May.

It helps inform decisions, makes us more confident, and adds a natural thrill and interest to life. It’s one of the things I love best about living. I love experiencing things, and in this way I take the good with the bad.

As I previously announced, I took part in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) for the first time last month. And though I didn’t complete the challenge (to write 50,000 words by 30 November), I got a lot out of the experience, in some ways more valuable than a first draft of a novel—though indeed I would have liked that too.
