Weekly Update - February 25, 2025

Somewhat major announcement time. I promise it’s not a bad thing. This is simply to let folks know that I am winding down my official author presence on Facebook, as in, I’ll be deleting the page soon. This is due in part to the fact Facebook has become useless to me from a business perspective. If I’m to be honest, it’s been pretty useless for a few years now. Once, Facebook was a great place…

Hopefully I’ll have an announcement on the release date for The Great Rock & Roll Time Trip Tour very soon. WRITING…

Weekly Update - January 21, 2025

Another slow week, but that’s okay because things are really taking off in another area of my creative life. Longtime followers likely know that in addition to writing, my other creative passion is stage combat. I’ve been a stage fighter for 23 years now (let me take a moment to collapse into a pile of dust and bone fragments), and over the past three years I’ve been teaching stage combat at the…
