One of the greatest joys of being a writer is seeing which characters readers connect with the most… and when every character ends up with their own champion, it’s pure magic.

I'm reading The Prow Beast by Robert Low, replaying a bit of AC Valhalla, and listening to Danheim while working. Guess what setting I'm itching for for my next manuscript?

Quick update on the UNDEAD SHINIGAMI challenge started last Thursday, the 1st draft now sits at 11k words! Solid start, thanks, in huge part to my wife, who took care of the kids on this Culture Day (national holiday in Japan.)

A bookstore owner told me this month that self-published writers aren’t “real authors.” Counterpoint: We are. And we rock. If you’re dreaming of publishing your first book, don’t let snobbish, bitter people tell you otherwise. You’re awesome, and with a bit of work, your novel will be too.

Back to Japan! I've mostly avoided social media for the past month. What did I miss?

For those who like the cover of BLOOD OF THE KAMI, I'm pleased to let you know that the first sketches for its sequel's just came in, and they are bloody awesome. #VoiceoftheKami

Much respect to all my self-published friends in the UK! I've only spent two days here, but everyone I've talked to from the publishing industry made me feel small and worthless. They did so politely, but one even said that I wasn't "really" an author. You keep thinking that...

Taking a short break from my Historical Fiction series was a great idea! After writing 4 books in 18 months, I was tired of it. But now that I’m back, Im excited about it again and I enjoy the process tremendously. Hopefully, the readers will feel it too.
