When an Imaginary World Becomes Real

Well, Fellow Creatures. This is actually happening. The Scarred World Saga is no longer mine alone. A few days ago, Kerem Beyit sent me the first color roughs for the saga’s covers, and I was blown away. Not simply because Kerem knocked them out of the park, but because, for the first time, I was seeing my world through someone else’s eyes. For years, the blinds have been drawn and the windows shuttered while I’ve hammered quietly away at the keyboard, creating Moonsland and the people who inhabit it. For so long, I’ve been the only one who knew what happened to them. What made them tick. What frightened them. What they loved. And where all these strange adventures would eventually lead. But now,...

When the Story Comes Back

Well, Fellow Creatures, as I write this, I am nearing the end of the beta phase for the Scarred World prequel and Books 1–3.   As mentioned in previous posts and newsletters, thirteen brave souls volunteered to become the First of the Scarred, those faithful few willing to wade into the fray of typos and potential continuity errors in hopes of helping me find a better story on the other side.   Now, that story is beginning to come back.   With it has arrived a collection of extremely useful feedback about what worked, what didn’t, what was confusing, and what became emotionally difficult.   The next step is figuring out what all of it means.   What I’ve hopefully learned over the...

Expanding the Horizon of Elsewhere

If you’ve been following along the blog and newsletter over the last couple of months, then you know I am in the throes of finishing the Scarred World Saga.    4 books set in the same world.   A challenge for a discovery writer like myself, who constantly wants to see what’s over the next hill and explore what else is out there.    That’s not to say there hasn’t been plenty to see in the world of the Scarred, but I’ve always started to get the itch to stretch my wings and go off to see what lurks in the depths of other corners of Elsewhere.   But as I’m finishing this series, the longest I’ve ever done, I’m realizing...

A Bounty of Goodness

Happy May, Fellow Creatures! I can hardly believe it, but spring has officially arrived. The air here in New England has finally warmed, and the dandelions are popping up across the lawn like they’ve got somewhere important to be. Unfortunately, that place seems to be Casco’s stomach. Does anyone else have a dog that loves gobbling down dandelions? Regardless, progress continues on the Scarred World Saga, books 1–3. As of writing this, I’m about 40% of the way through editing Book 3, which is the final box to check on the writing front before I begin preparing for launch. Eek. So close, yet still just out of reach. It’s been a long, steady trek to get here, but even...

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...

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...

Onto The Next One

I’ve started.   I’ve heard from some of you about the lack of me finishing what I started… aka getting idea happy and bolting over to the next shiny thing.    Guilty.   I’ve found it challenging to stay in the same world for an extended time when there’s so much else I want to explore, especially when that hit of joy is at its highest during the creation period.  It’s hard to stay away from that seductive juice when you know it’s right around the corner.   But that’s not fair to the readers.   I think we all know someone who has been burned by authors who don’t follow through on specific series or are derailed by some other side project....
