I ask for tough questions on my Facebook. I said I would answer them by doing Facebook LIVE from my Author’s Page. The first question was:
“What is your take on so many old movies being remade? Is it because Hollywood can’t come up with anything new on their own?”
My YouTube answer is here:
Otherwise, keep reading.
I don’t mind remakes of old Si-Fi or Fantasy movies. Because back in the day their reach exceeded their grasp.… Read more
Since the inception of my website, 2 and half years ago, I’ve kept something about me in the dark.
Alas, it caused writer’s block, preventing me from consistently creating content and clearing the production line. I’ve discussed with friends whether or not I should disclose my secret. Should I reveal the truth and risk rejection or remain stifled? To be or not to be, me.
Of course, I started this site to promote the Creed of Kings Saga, Blood & Soul, and future writings or creative endeavors.… Read more
I’ve totally revamped Out of Oblivion the last 6 months after an epic bazillion words. When I got to the end of the first serious draft I was not happy with the ending. I don’t settle.
Recently I got together with two of my genius friends to discuss the end of Out of Oblivion. I sent them a message on Facebook prior to meeting basically saying the following:
What Makes a Story Great?
Let’s use Luke Skywalker’s “moment” in the finale of Star Wars over the Death Star.… Read more
I hate boring vacation videos. Thus, I suffered great anxiety over squeezing this video down to a gargantuan 19 minutes. I estimate I took about 12 hours video. I originally tried to whittle it down to 4 minutes and one song. But were just too many “moments”. So I worked hard to make it interesting and exciting. I’m a storyteller. So, tried to amp things up as it progresses to the end.
Good friends. Good times.… Read more
I finally feel 95% normal after committing mass genocide Wednesday afternoon. No regrets. I went to bed at 8PM that evening a bit nauseated with a mild headache. I watched an hour-long documentary about N. Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.
The headache intensified and my gut started churning while watching the doc. Since I had no guilt over the mass executions I had committed, I thought it was something I ate that day, but I had eaten the normal stuff.… Read more
What’s the most important thing a writer can do when writing a book? FINISH!
No matter how rickety the construction, get…it…done! I learned this with Blood & Soul. To me, my struggle was monumental because I put a lot of pressure on myself to write the best book I could write. I labored long, long hours to find the theme, the message, the climax for the first book.
What is the moment of resolution for Out of Oblivion?… Read more

All I have to compare is my own experience. Blood & Soul continues to sell a few books a month with zero promotion and it’s been almost two years since publication. Although I’ve tried to understand why it’s still selling, I’m bewildered and happy about it. I could have promoted it more in the last year but I’ve been working on the next book, Out of Oblivion. At the end of the day (pardon the cliche…and the rhyme) I have to write more.… Read more
I’m a few days away from completing the first draft of Out of Oblivion, the next book in the Creed of Kings Saga. I suspect it will take a few more drafts before it goes to my editor, Andrew Doty at Editwright.com. Like Blood & Soul the next book can be read separately.
Thought I’d share a couple of recent reviews of Blood & Soul. To see on Goodreads click here.… Read more
Chipping away. After wasting some valuable time, I’ve finally got things in place for writing more. I’ve had big issues with my laptop and time over the last year. My laptop was huge. I loved the big screen. Some of you have seen it. It’s an anchor. It’s powerful. I think it could be used as a weapon. It’s lethal and it’s awesome.
But when I sit down to write at my favorite places it’s like setting up camp.… Read more
