If anyone out there is in the Denver area, be sure to pick up tickets to this year’s show, “Spirit & Soul.” The follows the ups and downs of a travelling tent revival as it winds its way through the South. The show features songs from Queen, Neil Diamond, Spring Awakening, and more.

Here’s a little bit about Magic Moments:

Magic Moments, Inc. is a non-profit organization, established in 1983, that produces an annual musical and theatrical production. Each production integrates persons with physical and developmental disabilities into the total performing cast of amateurs and professionals. The mix is truly magical for everyone involved – cast, staff, and our audience.

The goals of the organization are to raise community awareness of the special gifts of persons with physical and developmental disabilities and provide our diverse cast an opportunity to give back to their community through theatrical performance.

Tickets do sell out, some grab them while you can and support a great cause.

The novel, already out in “silent text” is being narrated by yours truly. Look for it on Amazon and Audible this Summer.


You can read more about the book on GoodReads.


The book is a hoot and I’m hoping to do the sequel soon.

My second reading for PodCastle is live today!

A fun little fairy tale-ish story called “Sleep and Wake” by Holli Mintzer. It’s rated R for a few F-bombs, but otherwise pretty clean. Check it out if you like fantasy (or just wish to hear the dulcet tones of my voice)!

At the top of the Greenbriar Building, in Brooklyn, a girl has been sleeping for a hundred years. In fact, she may have been sleeping longer. But the Greenbriar was built a hundred years ago, and the room in which she sleeps was walled off and hidden, and ivy tangled its way up the sides of the building until even the window was lost. She would likely sleep there still, except that Rick wanted to know why his apartment was a hundred and fifty square feet too small.

My latest narration project, “The Strange Machinery of Desire,” by Justin A. Williams is live! Check it out on the always awesome Pseudopod.org. It was a great chance to do one of my favorite accents, Russian.

Like most stuff on that podcast, it’s rated R. If you’re old enough, I highly recommend downloading it and give it a listen!

Beside them, a young man—a boy really—was having disks of black metal implanted in the skin of his forearms. Zeljko looked on, his mind spinning with a strange mixture of fear, revulsion and excitement. The excitement moved toward arousal, and he was suddenly self-conscious. He turned away, and walked back into the main area of the club.

Hope everyone has something to be thankful for.

An additional set of good wishes to my friends still toiling away on NaNoWriMo. Good luck kids!

Gonna call it early this year gang. Too many days of no-writing and I am way behind in my count. Add to that four days of vacation with the family around Thanksgiving means I am hopelessly behind schedule. But I managed 11,000 words that are not going to waste. I am, however, going back to Alchemical Adolescence for the time being and letting Destiny & Doom rest for a bit. I will pick it up later on when I have more time and a better sense of the overall plot. I think I started the novel too far into the story and need to backtrack it for it to make sense. I thought it would be fun to dive right into the action and back-fill the history of the characters, but it’s getting weird. Who knows. A break and fresh eyes won’t hurt, right.

Good luck to everyone else still NaNo-ing.

Broke 10,000 words last night, but I am still about 2 days worth of writing behind par.

Any tips for picking up the pace, let me know. Action scenes seem to add up the word count pretty well. I may have to add a few more than I was planning to make my target. Supposed to be 1/3 of the way done after tomorrow!

Didn’t get to write much this weekend, so I am officially “behind” on my word count. Aiming to rectify that before next weekend. So far I’m 3 for 5 for getting my “par” count done.

Keep your fingers crossed.

Day one is off to a great start. 2035 words (or 4% of 50,000). I doubt I can keep up this pace, but if I do, I’ll be done before Thanksgiving.

Dare to Dream, right?

Yeah, it’s that time of year again. More updates to follow.
