Actually heard this at the gym the other day. It had a pretty good sound, so I quickly Spotify’d the tune. It’s not metal, but it’s got a good rock sound to it. I added it to my playlist when I got home. When to Listen: Caffeine music!!! This song is charged with positive energy. Use it when you hit a slump or when you … Read More From My Writing Playlist

So I wanted to give a quick update. We’ve got a cover design in mind and are currently getting some ideas going on how to make it a reality. Edits on the book are going steady and everything looks good thus far. We still have not started the legal yet as I prefer to get one issue accomplished at a time. We … Read More Drakin: The Orphans of Haven Update

Hello all! So it’s been a couple of weeks now, it looks like sales are going well! Thanks BTW! So I know I haven’t been around in a while since I published Drakin and for that I do apologize. However I had some inspiration come my way… and actually managed to write out a full sequel in a matter of weeks. It’s really … Read More Drakin, where to buy, and what’s next?

In my opinion, there are three fathers of modern metal. They are as follows: Black Sabbath Blue Oyster Cult Rush Each had their own distinct style and each one gave birth to a different form of metal. Black Sabbath definitely opened the door to some of the heavier stuff like Black Metal, Death Metal, Thrasher Metal, etc. However I think bands like Iron Maiden … Read More From My Writing Playlist

If it’s not plainly obvious at this point, I love Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli’s work. There’s a sense of adventure and excitement in the stories they produce, and even when it’s a dark story, the animation is always colorful and fun. After watching Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (Yes, I know, not Ghibli, but made by many of the same people, … Read More The Great Studio Ghibli Hunt: A Review!

Note: Updates going forward are going to be titled Drakin: The Orphans of Haven Update!!!. As most of my readers know, I finished writing Drakin’s sequel soon after the Story of Raiya came out. I’m presently on the 6th draft, having run it through a couple of editors and spelling/grammar check software. This is without a doubt the most ambitious book I’ve ever written. … Read More New Book Announcement!!! (Update)

Malmsteen is a man who needs no introduction in the Metal community. Regardless of whether you can actually pronounce his first name, you know his style, music, and look when you hear it. When to Listen: I use this as coffee. A ton of positive energy, a ton of ‘smile’ moments, and plenty of adrenaline-inducing guitar tabs. Use this when you start experiencing burnout but need to … Read More From My Writing Playlist

Disclaimer… this isn’t actually on my playlist, but it’s so ridiculous, I couldn’t not share it. I have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. When to Listen: … Brainstorming… nope. General play… God no! Conflict… No. You know what? If you want to add this to your playlist, you figure it out. I can’t write and listen to this song, it makes me laugh … Read More From My Writing Playlist

I don’t usually do this, but I’m asking my followers, readers, and fans for help! Hopefully, by now many of you have seen my review of Lucifer, and have checked out the show. I’ve been hooked since the first Episode and I anxiously await its return every year. Unfortunately, in typical fashion, Fox is prematurely canceling a fan favorite and it seems like everyone is … Read More Fox Cancels Lucifer, Please Help! #SaveLucifer

I know it may be derogatory… but there is a plethora of… what I refer to as ‘Nightwish Knockoff bands’ out there. Some of them are passable… others are blatant in how badly they’re trying to emulate Nightwish’s style and by default, success. This band really strikes me as having that mindset… but God damn it… they’ve got too many good songs to simply … Read More From My Writing Playlist
