  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.

Metal, Always!

Hi Jim, I’ve been following you for a while. I’ve always found your musical posts intriguing. It’s always been interesting to see where someone get’s their inspiration from. I was just wondering though… why metal? Most of what you post is metal and you make no secret of that. I’m not judging, but as a non-metal head, when I listen to some of your … Read More Metal, Always!

I have a friend who’s huge into Amorphis… They’re good, but I wouldn’t say they’re anything fantastic. That being said, I do love this song. When to Listen: This is really a building song. Use this when creating your world, characters, or even creating plot. There’s a lot of different emotions, different levels of notation, and a good mix of both positive and negative energy. … Read More From My Writing Playlist

    So I wanted to give a quick update. Our cover design has been laid out and we’re going to get to work on it soon. We still have not started the legal yet as I prefer to get one issue accomplished at a time. We’re editing the cover blurb, but here’s where we are so far… “The nightmares never end for Radley … Read More Drakin: The Orphans of Haven Update

Perhaps a little disclosure is in order. I am not a huge fan of these guys… mostly because YouTube continuously recommends their music and their good songs are too few and too far in between. That said, this one is pretty good. It sneaked onto my playlist and has been there ever since. When to Listen:  Conflict development. When you’re trying to come up … Read More From My Writing Playlist

A Little About Cover Blurbs.

Hi Jim, I’m getting really frustrated with my writing. I’m trying to write a cover blurb for a book I just finished. I have used several others as examples and templates of what to do and what not to do. However, every time I think I’ve got it down, I go back and rewrite the whole thing because it doesn’t convey what I want … Read More A Little About Cover Blurbs.

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
