The Website Is Back Up!
You may or may not have noticed that my site has been down for a while, due to some technical difficulties that I didn’t realize were happening right away. I ended up losing everything from last year, which was probably just me saying, “Hey, the Bigfoot and Nessie books are out!” and posting some art, which I can repost once I sort out what’s missing. Any comments from last year are gone, too. Because even though I could have sworn not very much time had passed since I last backed up my site, apparently it’d been more like a year. O__o But if you were wondering why the site was…

Deal Announcement – Bigfoot and Nessie!
I’m so excited to finally be able to share this news! I wrote a graphic novel for kids called Bigfoot and Nessie, about, you guessed it, Bigfoot and Nessie. It’s about their friendship, but at its heart, it’s also a story about finding creativity without putting pressure on yourself–something I struggle with a lot. The idea came about after binge watching a lot of We Bare Bears, and I was thinking about Charlie (he’s a bigfoot, if you’re not familiar with the show) and how he doesn’t want to be photographed, and I started thinking what if a bigfoot did want to get photographed? But was also failing at it?…

What Happened to Demon in My Dorm Room 2?
I’ve put off writing this post because I hate feeling like I’m disappointing anybody or letting anyone down, and I know people were waiting for this book, but… it’s just not happening. I got kind of burnt out on these books working really hard on book 1 and the first half of book 2–maybe more than I realized–and while I was taking a break, life stuff happened, and a beloved pet died, and when I came back to work on this, I felt like a different person, and writing each scene was more and more of an uphill battle. Which sucks, because there were a bunch of really fun, cute…

The Rivalry of Renegade X is finally upon us!
BOOK 5 IS OUT!!!! (Can you believe this is seriously book 5? It only took, er, 12 and a half years to get here…) This book was a lot of fun to write, and I’m glad I get to do ridiculous things like tell stories about annoying, interdimensional do-gooding twins, lol. To celebrate, the whole series is on sale right now, including Rivalry. And the novellas are free. The sale will last until February 3rd, but the novellas will only be free for a few days, so grab them while you can. A tale of two Damiens. After ruining the annual Tines family barbecue by retaliating against one of his…

The Kickstarter Is Over
The kickstarter for the next Renegade X audiobook is over… and was unsuccessful. But I’d still like to give a huge thanks to everyone who pledged and who believed in this project! You guys all get gold stars. I’m not giving up on making more Renegade X audiobooks, but I can’t say when or if it’s ever going to happen, so for now it’s on the back burner.

4 Days to Go!
Only 4 days left on the kickstarter and there’s still a long ways to go! So if you’re a fan of the audiobooks and would like to see the next one get made, make sure you get your pledge in! And a huge thanks to anyone who’s already pledged! You guys are awesome!

How I Chose the Perfect Narrator
Six years ago, when I’d just started self-publishing the Renegade X series, I decided I wanted to make an audiobook. Books 1 and 2 came out pretty much at the same time (book 2 actually came out about a week before book 1, but who’s counting?), and they were doing well enough to support taking a chance on something new. But I was nervous about actually hearing someone voice my characters, especially Damien, because I already had an idea of how they sounded in my head and I didn’t want to risk ruining that. Not only did I need to find the right voice for Damien, but I also needed…

Let’s Make an Audiobook!
A.k.a. THE KICKSTARTER IS LIVE! I have so many awesome things to tell you about this kickstarter that I don’t even know where to start! This is my fourth kickstarter, and it’s also the one that’s taken the most prep work. The other three only took a couple weeks to get ready, but this one took more like 10! And it’s basically my dream kickstarter from a backer’s standpoint – a variety of items that make you feel like you’re part of a fictional world. And by that I mean that the kickstarter is back-to-school themed, complete with school paraphernalia, and you choose whether you’re going to Heroesworth or Vilmore.…

On Sale Now – The Persistence of Renegade X!
The latest installment in the Renegade X series, The Persistence of Renegade X, is here! Grab all three novellas for only .99 cents each for a limited time! This novella takes place between books 4 and 5. Watching Damien’s two favorite siblings for the night—and stealing his sister Amelia’s title of “best babysitterâ€â€”should be easy. It shouldn’t involve his mom calling and begging him to watch his awful half brother. And it shouldn’t involve having to go rescue his two best friends from a superhero mission gone wrong. And it definitely shouldn’t involve getting stranded in downtown Golden City with all the kids he’s supposed to be watching. Especially not when the…
