Went to the EMP/Sci-fi Museum here in Seattle this week. Â The sci-fi museum is probably my favorite museum ever because, well, to be perfectly honest, because it has things from TV. Â And I love things from TV! Â I mean, just look at that Dalek...
Mark your calendars for September, 2013! Â That’s right, The Trials of Renegade X will be released next September! Â This might seem like a long way off, especially when you guys have been so patient–a lot of you have been waiting for...

So, I can admit that the beginning of the year was a lot busier than I expected (A LOT busier). Â I pubbed my middle grade noir mystery, Harper Madigan: Junior High Private Eye. Â I expanded from doing commissions on DeviantArt to an actual Etsy...
