It’s almost time for Finals.

Jeff Hanson never expected that balancing high school with being a hedge doctor would be easy. And that was before the poltergeist took up residence in the basement. Now Jeff doesn’t just have to worry about monster hunters turning up for stitches during study hall. He, his cousin, and Nicole, the witch they discovered, have […]

Too Happy

I should be writing today. Mostly I’m basking in the rainbow glow coming off my computer. And I’m not the only one. Obviously, I’m a supporter. Always have been. I thought about writing a one off, non-canon, story with Matty and Dean, but it ended with both of them uncomfortable as marriage would difficult since […]

Trouble

I haven’t quite had writer’s block, where I don’t know what to write. Instead, I just haven’t been writing. I know what  I want to write. I have plenty of time to get it done. I just haven’t been. So starting yesterday, I’m determined to get back to writing. If I don’t want to be […]

The problem with go to words, is that you find yourself using the same phrase over and over. Even worse, once you catch it, and change it… you just pick new go to words. Yeah, I’m […]

What? It’s 6:30?

I’m head deep in two different rough drafts. Not to mention working on the webcomic. I’m busy. Don’t you have better things to do than read my writing blog?

One Book at a Time

It’s the downside of professional and personal freedom. I don’t have the big marketing machine. It’s just me and my (currently non-existent) advertising budget. My friend, Gina Drayer, once said that being an indie writer  on a tight budget means selling one book at a time. My latest book, Hedge Doctor: Prom is the best example […]
