Ahoy there, Fellow Creatures!
Apologies for the gimmicky title, but it's true. I have an exciting pledge to announce.
With Shadow of the Dragod coming out on November 7th and to add a little extra push to generate some reviews for the book (which always go along way to helping with indie publishing), I am partnering with Ride 4 Claire, a foundation that donates directly to Boston Children’s Hospital’s fight against childhood cancer. This near and dear organization has helped my niece tremendously in her battle with retinoblastoma and continues to be on the cutting edge of new treatments that will greatly help more kids with cancers like hers.
As part of this partnership, I’ve pledged...

There’s a new addition to the family.
No, it’s not a new book (not yet, anyway. Shadow of the Dragod’s official release is Nov 7th! Coming soon!) It’s a terrible, horrendous, vicious beast of the frigid North!
Meet Casco, my desk familiar, magical companion, foot warmer, and destroyer-of-my-things. Named after a town in Maine my family has spent my entire 40 years of life going to over the Summer, we brought home this fluffy wonder a couple weeks ago, and my oh my, it’s been something.
I grew up with a dog. Got a yellow labrador puppy when I was around 8. I don’t remember much about trying to train him or him being overly nippy...

I wish I was talking about some newfound discovery where there are beings who can cast spells and levitate objects with a blink of an eye.
Unfortunately, as far as I know, that place has yet to be discovered.
For now, we’ll have to settle for Disney World!
Yeah, I know, some of you may be rolling your eyes at this as I feel like those parks get a pretty bad wrap for the price gouging, unreasonably long-waits, and the special treatment they get, which are rightful gripes about Mickey land, but it’s hard to argue against their ability to inspire and make you feel a little closer to magic.
We were fortunate enough to take our...

Howdy howdy, Fellow Creatures!
Hope all is good in the woods. I wanted to stop by here and give you all some updates on where things stand throughout my writing journey.
All in all, I’ve been busy, juggling a few different projects at once. Let’s just say, that they’re all moving forward in one way or another and I am excited to get them out there.
I hope you’re excited to read them!
But enough with the preamble… Let me tell you where I’m at.
Shadow of the Dragod
I’ve just finished reviewing the edits suggested by my wonderful editor, Tamara Blain. As always, she provided some wonderful thoughts on how to tighten up my sentences and make them...

Where the heck have you been, Jeff?
Fair question, Fellow Creatures.
It’s been a while since there’s been anything new or anything shared from me. For nearly two years I’ve turned on ghost-mode and been lurking in the shadows.
Doing what, you may ask?
Well, to start, trying to get back to the land of the living. Turns out, I was burnt out for a bit there, and writing and creating wasn’t giving me as much zest as they used to.
I tried to forge on, tried to power through my scheduled writing sessions in the early hours of the morning, but alas, it felt like I was trying to force a nail through wood with my bare...
