Hello all! So I am pleased to announce that we currently have a working title for the next installment in the ‘Drakin’ world. Unless something drastically changes, the next book in the series will be titled ‘Drakin: The Orphans of Haven.‘ So I’m in the middle of brainstorming a cover design for the next book. Obviously the cover to The Story of Raiya is … Read More Drakin Sequel, Name Reveal and Cover Help!

You know, every now and then, the YouTube Ad system hits it out of the park. First with Metalite, now these guys. Yes, MORE OF THIS PLEASE!!! It’s kind of a cross between Rhapsody and Coheed and Cambria… not a huge fan of the latter, but I still really like this! When to Listen: This type of music is my caffeine. High on positive energy … Read More From My Writing Playlist

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?

Hi Jim, I was hoping you could give us a better idea of what Dragon’s Bane is and how it works. You kind of touch upon it a little in the story and that seems like a major plot point in your character development. Thanks, Matt Hi Matt, Well… I thought I gave enough detail about what it was exactly, but I’d be happy … Read More A Drakin Question!? (SPOILERS!)

Hi Jim, I have a book I’ve been working on. I want to get it published, but everyone around me… my friends, family, etc. have all said that I’d just be embarrassing myself. They said that I’d put it out there, it would get bad reviews and I’d never be able to live that down. The worst thing is that none of them have … Read More Encouragement… The Good/The Bad!

I’m admittedly not the biggest fan of these guys. I’ve honestly found them a little cheesy. (Seriously, who walks around in a foot suit of armor when they’re performing?) That being said, even the cheesiest metal band can have a few good songs! When to Listen: Lot of positive energy here. I’d say write with this during the initial brainstorming? Readers, Do you have a … Read More From My Writing Playlist

Hi Jim, I have a rather unique issue. I’m trying to write a story dealing with my grandfather. Let me give you some background. My parents immigrated here from Germany, I’m a 1st Generation American. My grandfather was part of the North African Campaign during World War 2. He was a member of the Afrika Korps. My story is partially fiction given that I … Read More Telling a Story vs. Glorification

Hammerfall… there really is nothing I need to say about these guys. They rock and I love them! When to Listen: This is a hero song. Listen to it when everything else has been stripped away. I guess to put it simply, write this as your ‘final boss confrontation.’ Readers, Do you have a question about writing, publishing, my stories, etc? Please feel free … Read More From My Writing Playlist

Hi Jim, I’ve been writing for years and have a book series out that I’m completely finished with. I’ve moved onto other stories, but one of my friends and a fellow writer wants to write a sequel to the series. He has a really great idea for a story set in the world I created, with both my characters and some new ones. While … Read More Writing Advice: Granting Someone Else ‘Godhood’

I admittedly wasn’t a huge fan of Annette when she was with Nightwish. That being said, I’m glad she found her place and is actually doing well. This band seems a lot more suited to her style of singing. When to Listen: I would say general playlist. There’s enough here to justify playing it while the juices are already flowing. Readers, Do you have a question … Read More From My Writing Playlist

I’ve never been a huge Amon Amarth fan… but after this cover, I may re-examine that. This girl’s voice is amazing! When to Listen: This is a very recent add for me, so I’m not 100% on where it should go. Based on the tone and tempo, probably a for use during a major conflict in a story. This is definitely a fitting song … Read More From My Writing Playlist
