One of the most daunting challenges for any writer is overcoming that feeling that you're just spinning your wheels. I think every writer that ever put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) has felt disillusioned with the entire process. I've been there. Sometimes, after all the hours spent writing and editing and re-writing and …

Roadtrips, Inspiration and the Great American Burger
This was written on my phone, so if there are errors please bear with me. My wife and I took a little roadtrip. A couples night out to reconnect. I'm not much of a gambler, but she enjoys it. So we decided to spend the night at a hotel in Miami, Oklahoma. Now, Miami isn't …

Writing, Faust and Bushmills Irish Whiskey
Where do I begin? I guess I'll begin by climbing back on to that soapbox that I was on with the last post. DA's a preachin', now. Bear with me while I rant on and on for a few, but I'll try to keep it on topic. Well, mostly on topic. I may ramble a …
Character Names
Just a bit of warning...I'm probably going to go on a bit of a rant here. So, FYI. My thoughts here are just that...my thoughts. Take them with a grain of salt. This is just how I feel about the subject and nothing more. I have the distinct feeling that some people may not like …
Book Five
I just wanted to touch base with everyone and let them know that work on book five, tentatively titled Ragnarok Rising: Damnation, is off to a good start. After a bit of a false start, I scrapped about 80 pages that I just didn't like the way it read...so I tossed it out and started …
Book Four of the Ragnarok Rising Saga
Hey, folks, DA here. I just wanted to take a moment to let you all know the most recent news concerning the fourth book in my series, Ragnarok Rising: Redemption. Well, the manuscript is DONE! We're off to editing and cover creation, but it is going well. I will make sure to announce the release …
