    2025-08-25—Travel By Star

    Just in case this is a dealbreaker for anyone, I have to state this as plainly as I can: at no point in Travel by Star (by Paul Scott Grill) does a tiny pink blob hop on a five-pointed glowing stellar object and ride it to another location—or, in other words, travel by star. This…

  • 2025-05-13—Proofs, After Moses: Prodigal, Marlin on Conclusions and Canon, Olney on New Stories

    Get yourselves settled in for a long one. After I provide my writing updates, I’ve got a review for After Moses: Prodigal in the pipeline, musings on deathbed repentance as a story element (I hate it), and I’m entering into conversation with two other blogs on articles/essays they’ve posted.

    Nre’fa-o… good dancing! The cover for Inner Demon continues to evolve. The story is YA fantasy, but most of the feedback I got was that the cover looked Middle Grade—a bit younger an audience than I’m going for. So I’m working with my artist to see what we can do about that. We’re pretty close…

  • 2025-02-22—Wrath, EZDark/ShadowD6, Amazon Sucks

    Fortunately, I have no need to correct myself with this blog post, unlike last time. Instead, I’m coming back to talk about Wrath of the Gods once more. And a few other things. But first… writing updates! Halfwhisker is at… almost 217,000 words! That’s some decent progress. In addition, I’m nearing the end of the…
