November Magic!

Fellow Creatures,   I come to you with another update on the progress!    I am happy to report that as of writing this, I’ve just crossed the 75k mark on book 4 of the Scarred World Saga, Scorn of the Scarred.   Which means the gap between not having these books out there and them actually getting published is narrowing!    I’d say that in about another month or two, you should start to see some real timelines being put on the books for these releases.    So stay tuned, and thanks for coming along for so long on the journey.   What else has been happening around these parts of Elsewhere?   Well, basketball season for one.   Both boys are donning their high-tops and hitting the...

A Quick Update!

Update time, Fellow Creatures.   I've been plugging away at it for a bit now, tarrying on a variety of projects, pushing things behind the scenes to what I would call success, though it's hard to call it such without a physical copy to put in someone's hand.   Yet, with each 1000 words down, or editing session complete, it feels like I'm making my way to a finish line where, at the end, it means some actual stories will get out there!   As of writing this post, I'm at 60k words in Scorn of the Scarred, book 4 of the Saga. My guess, this is about halfway done with the book, which means I can see the...

Art Quest

Art Quest Update 9-15-25!

Howdy, Fellow Creatures!   I come bearing tidings of an update on my Art Quest, an update that has been long in the making, mostly because I always feel like there’s not as much art to update on as I would like.   With life happenings and writing taking up a big portion of the day-to-day, I try to squeeze in my drawing hobby wherever I can in the cracks, which amounts to slow and steady progress.   Since we last spoke about it, I think I mentioned I was still working on the human head, and I am both happy and a little ashamed to say that I am still knee deep in the journey there.   I’ve been trying...

Book 4 Has A Name

Howdy, howdy, Fellow Creatures!    As always, hope all is good in your woods, and the critters that lurk in your part of Elsewhere are behaving themselves (or not, if you prefer your woodland creatures to be rambunctious.)   Just stopping in for a quick update on progress!    First of all, as I mentioned in my last post, Book 3 of the Scarred World Saga is done, and as of writing this, I am about 20k into the 4th and final installment.     Progress is going well. I’ve been able to maintain a decent clip, and despite the occasional hiccup in discipline or hitting of a dreaded block in the story, it goes on and on.   While I don’t have an...

It Is Done!

Hail, Fellow Creatures!   I hope all is good in your woods on this July day. It’s been a bit since I’ve posted an update here, but that’s because Casco and I have been knee-deep in the Scarred World Saga, exploring Moonsland and beyond.   Where has it led us?   To the end of book 3!    As of last week, I’ve officially written The End in Sins of the Scarred, putting the finishing touches on draft 1 with the total word count ending up at just under 110k, a volume I’m certain will expand as I go back and rewrite scenes.   But dang, it feels good to get to that milestone.   After months of being in the depths of Requiem and...

Interested in Beta Reading? Don’t Be Shy!

Howdy, Fellow Creatures!   I hope this message from Elsewhere finds you splendid. Casco and I are just starting in the throes of the springtime heat now that all the rain and dreariness seem to have subsided here in New England.   I think Casco prefers the rain. Too hot for a long-haired pup like him in Elsewhere.   Fear not, we’ll be doing our best by trying to keep him cool by wading in nearby waters whenever we can. A stinky, wet pup is still better than a panting, hot one.   Besides trying to keep up with the weather (...

Updates From Elsewhere

Ahoy, Fellow Creatures!    I hope all is good in thy woods. Casco and I coming at you today from a journey deep into Elsewhere, where we’ve started really getting back into the swing of this whole writing thing.    I’ve been averaging progress on Sin of the Scarred, book 3 of the Scarred World saga, on a daily basis and making headway into the story.  As of posting this, I’m just a little under 44k words!    While I've still got around 60k left to go, this feels like a big win to turn the ship around and start heading in the right direction.    As I’ve been saying throughout this journey, I want to share more of where I’m...

We’re Back!

We’re back, Fellow Creatures!   Or maybe I should say I’m back. I don’t think Casco ever really went anywhere. He’s always lurking about Elsewhere looking for treats and adventure.   But I have returned after another unplanned hiatus to be more consistent on this blog once (and in my writing habits).   Where have I been, you ask?   Busy with life changes like switching out my day job for a new one.  I know, I know, I’m sad to say it’s not making the switch to full-time authorship yet either, instead, I made the extremely difficult decision to leave my current organization and the people I love within it to pursue a new challenge, one that i’m hopeful is...

Happy 2025 Fellow Creatures!

Happy New Year, Fellow Creatures! Hope your holidays were fantastic (or still are if you’re still celebrating.)   Can’t believe 2025 is here! I feel this way at the start of a new year, but I sense great hope and ambition in the air and I’m trying to capitalize on that a bit with writing Sin of the Scarred.   As of writing this I’m about 14k into book 3 of the Scarred World Saga with still plenty more to go.    All this is to say, I’m going silent until the start of February on the blog and social (though I’ll still be active on my Newsletter) so I can concentrate on a big push for book 3.    I...

Book 3 has Begun and It Has a Name…

The adventure has begun.    If you read my blog from last time then you know I was nearing my second pass of edits on book 2 of the Scarred World Saga, Stone of the Scarred.   Well, I’m happy to say that as of writing this I’m officially off and running on book 3. About 10k words in to be exact.   And guess what? Book 3 officially has a name.   Sin of the Scarred.   In keeping with the whole S of the Scarred them I’ve got going on here, I landed on this being the a good place to be, as it should focus much more on Requiem, his past, and the Scarred’s history.   I so desperately want to share...
