What's He Up To?

Below are cataloged, in order of priority, my current projects. I am working on many in tandem so that their completion will be in a cascading promotional strategy... in short BAMF!

  • Cisterns of Siennor - Short story is half way written. I'll also be painting a cover for this short inspired by a Frank Frazetta sketch from Fire and Ice. The beginning can be read in this anthology as a complete self contained story of its own. Cisterns of Siennor is an expansion upon Herald of the Dead.

  • Altar of Deceit - First novel in the Lorekeeper's Saga is over a third complete. It started out under another title. I'm currently rewriting this story for NaNoWriMo 2017. You can follow my progress here. The cover is being painted character by character (four all together) with the backdrop the finishing touch. Remember those iconic Dragonlance covers? Altar of Deceit will also have 20+ black and white interior illustrations which will be produced once NaNoWriMo concludes.

  • Fan Art - Critical Role's Taryon Darrington will be turned into an artist's portrait. We already look similar enough and wearing plate mail is better than an author's turtleneck.

Note: My main focus will be writing projects and their art, plus I'll be working freelance on other author's covers and concept art.

The Return of Rolecasters?

I 've been musing about podcast ideas and possibly reviving Rolecasters . I'd want completely overhauled setup, objectives, direction, and content matter. So once all of those fall into place, I guess we'll see if the name "Rolecasters" still fits. My dedicated co host has moved on to other endeavors, but has pledged her support as long as she doesn't have to do anything. Honestly I've missed the weekly+ shows and all the great friends made along the journey. The rate at which we produced content back then would sink my currently running projects, so if there were a return it would be with a more leisurely cadence, especially since it would be now be a solo project on my part. While I continue to mull over the prospects, I thought it would be appropriate to share an almost decade long cherished podcast, Mysterious Universe . Their focus has always been on entertaining storytelling and, upon reflection, the majority of tales told are incredibly pulp. Alt

Pulp Awakenings

I came across the perfect analogy of my own pulp awakening in John C Wright's foreword to Jeffro Johnson's Appendix N: The Literary History of Dungeons & Dragons . "Imagine if you had lived in a house for decades, as had your father before you, and grandfather, and you thought you knew all its halls and chambers. Idly, some rainy day, or when the snow has covered all the roads, you take up a lantern and go to see what is stored in those old boxes in the cellar, or where that one small door you never opened before leads. You pry the door open, and it groans on rusted hinges, and beyond are caves of wonder, heaped with treasure. Here, like a column of fire, stands a strange genii and other spirits bound to serve your family. They are willing to carry you whirling through the air like an autumn leaf, in less time than it takes to gasp in awe, to far and fabled lands beyond the cerulean ocean, to elfish gardens of dangerous glamor, to jeweled mountains, alabaster cities
