The short, fast-paced writing left me unable to put down the book until I read "just one more quick chapter." And then boom...the book ends...and what a great ride.

This is the kind of book I honestly crave more of far before its final pages. It's so earnest and wonderful and fun!"

Although I haven't started writing the book yet, I've gone thru several iterations of its cover. This is the most recent one and the one I like the best (so far). #scifwestern #booksky

Fresh #tattoo, 16th for me and the first not on my arms (this one's on my chest, pervs). This Oni has many layers of positive meaning for me. Done in 2 sessions, last month and yesterday. Approx 4" tall. Gratitude to the passion and skill of Deon Lucero Jr at Get Inked in Monte Vista, CO.

Tattoo of the face of an Oni, a fierce spirit in Japanese folklore often characterized as a protector. They tend to visually resemble traditional western depictions of the devil, with horns on the top of their heads. They also have prominent tusk-like fangs. This particular Oni has blue skin, a common trait but others may be red or occasionally other colors.

I stupidly miscounted my chapter so it's about 400 words short of my usual goal of 2500 words. It's an action chapter so maybe it's okay to be shorter, but it still pisses me off. #scifidetective #amwritingfiction #booksky

I've completed writing Ch 16 of the Nightmonger Murders and mapped out the final 4 chapters of the novel, so I'm in a good position to finish my book (eventually). Martel wasn't doing as well in Ch 13... #scifidetective #scifinoir #booksky

As is often the case, I like to play around with covers long before I finish a book, or even start one. Here is what I did this week for the novel I only just mentioned, just to give an idea of the title etc.

UPDATE! 🌹🎉 I realize not many people have access to much right now, so I put the eBook version of Beyond The Mark down to the lowest I could on Amazon, which is $0.99 Hope this helps it become more accessible, I'd rather continue the story than make money, so I hope you enjoy! #Fantasy #Author

A stylized cover art for the book titled "Beyond the Mark: Ashes of the Hero," featuring a silhouette of a cloaked figure in a dark, magical forest. The figure, shrouded in shadow, is holding a glowing sword with a vibrant red hue. Intricate patterns adorn the figure's cloak, evoking a sense of mystery and fantasy. The background showcases an eerie forest with bare, twisted trees and ethereal lights, creating a mystical and foreboding atmosphere. In the distance, a castle with spires looms against a pale, glowing sky, adding a sense of adventure and danger to the scene. The title is prominently displayed at the top in bold, stylized lettering, with a vivid gradient effect that contrasts with the darker tones of the artwork. The overall composition conveys themes of heroism, darkness, and a journey into the unknown.
