I'm a fantasy author and blogger. I like to write about the creative process, music, movies, books, and my weekly haiku series, "Haiku Sunday"
Haiku Sunday – Thunderstorm
“Thunderstorm”
Black clouds come — flash, boom!
All of your petty complaints
are drowned in her rage.

Exploring Úr’Dan: Feldings and Uplanders
In honor of the premier of Planet Earth II back in March, I wrote a post about the northern region of my fantasy world, Úr’Dan. In that post, I wrote about the Hundred Teeth mountain range and the Uplands that make up the northern portion of this subcontinent.

tiny galaxies.

Haiku Sunday – Family
“Family”
Cousins and friends meet,
mingling until they’ve melded,
an extended clan.

Friday Write-Day: A Very Strange Week
I’ve had a severe lack of motivation all week, hence the non-title card for this post.
I was going to write a piece about how the sense of failure in one aspect of life can trickle down and impact other parts of your life. But that seems crass in the wake of Chris Cornell’s death. Continue reading “Friday Write-Day: A Very Strange Week”
