If you were to ask me how many books are on my to-be-read list, I couldn't give you a simple answer.

2024/05/28

I’ve neglected to update this blog. Par for the course, but when it comes to something like cancer treatment, regular readers may desire—and certainly deserve—more information. It’s now been over a year since I was diagnosed with fibromyxosarcoma, and a year nearly to the day since my second surgery on it. I completed radiation treatment … Continue reading One year later

New art: Meeting

Still enjoying making art on my iPad. For this drawing, I wanted to try some of the real media brushes in Clip Studio Paint—I went with chalk for most of this piece—and I thought a children’s book illustration style would suit the tools well. I’ll draw something other than a dragon soon. Probably.

I drew the album art for musician Jett Swole‘s latest release, Upon the Porcelain Throne. I… really enjoyed doing the messy style.

New art: Solstice

2024/01/02

I had a couple of reasons for making my newest art. First was that I got an iPad and Apple Pencil and was eager to try out both for art. I also received a free trial of Clip Studio Paint Pro, which I’ve heard good things about and which looked quite promising from the information … Continue reading New art: Solstice

Waiting for the other ball to drop

Jinxed ·

2023/12/30

Honestly, 2023 is a year I’m not sorry to see the end of (hence my actually writing my year-end post before the calendar turns, for once). This was the year my health took a nosedive. The cancer was only the most dramatic issue; I had plenty other concerns that ranged from inconvenient to frustrating to … Continue reading Waiting for the other ball to drop

Is he strong? Listen, bud…

2023/07/25

I’ve had people requesting updates on my cancer treatment, so I thought I’d give one here. For those who only follow this blog, I spoke prematurely when I said that my diagnosis was not going to be a significant impact on my health: shortly after I made my previous post, the doctors decided that I … Continue reading Is he strong?

* This is just a stock photo. My blood pressure tends to be on the low side. UPDATE June 29: It seems I spoke too soon when I said that this wouldn’t be a significant impact on my health. It’s been an interesting spring. But let’s start a little earlier than that. When I moved … Continue reading The Big News

Trilogy finale drops in one week!

2023/06/02

As usual, I’ve failed to update this blog or promote myself, but next Friday, the final book of my Sisters of Chaos trilogy, Elderra’s Champion, is releasing. You can preorder it to have it shipped now directly from the publisher (i.e. me, so you could even get it signed if that’s your thing) or from … Continue reading Trilogy finale drops in one week!

New Year 2023

Jinxed ·

2023/01/05

As usual, after months of silence, I return to this blog for my annual new year post. Maybe it’s my ongoing health issues, New Year’s Eve messing up my entire week so far, or coming up on the fourth year of the pandemic, but I’m not feeling particularly hopeful about 2023. I do, however, have … Continue reading New Year 2023
