Read MoreMagic Shop Illustration
Nothing warms the heart more than when a fan (with skills in this case), takes your writing and tries to do something with it. In this case, one of my alpha readers, Joshua Bernhard, expressed his appreciation for the Magic Shop by doing a wonderful first illustration. I am totally honored.

Read MoreWhat I’m Reading in December 2011
I’m currently working my way through several books. Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, Vampirates Book 1, by Justin Somper, and Evil Star (Book 2 of the Gatekeepers series), by Anthony Horowitz. I must say, that after being exposed to Anythony Horowitz, I just gobble up everything he writes. There is such ambiance and pace to his writing, and I find it very engaging. It’s a little dark, but that makes it feel a little more real. Check out the Gatekeepers series here. I’m...

Read MoreWriter’s Block? Get Inspired
Writer’s block gets us all at some point or another. It could be that we are tired, or distracted. Perhaps we just aren’t inspired. You could name just about anything and it could get in the way of writing. Our craft is a sensitive thing. Easily derailed. With “The Magic Shop,” I remember reaching a specific part of the first draft and being totally stuck. I wasn’t sure how to transition the book from where I was, to where I wanted to go. I was irritated for a few...
