The latest episode of my free grimdark fantasy serial can now be read on my blog. In ‘Prize Fighter’ the company’s second-in-command is attempting to assess a new recruit, but his efforts are hampered by an impromptu wrestling match.
Formerly from Seattle, I’ve lived in Japan since mid-2001. I work in the mobile gaming industry, mainly localization and licensing.
My book reviews have appeared in New Edge Sword & Sorcery Magazine, Grimdark Magazine, etc. I'm particularly fond of sword & sorcery, pulp fiction, historical fiction, and horror.
I reviewed Twilight of the Gods by Scott Oden for Grimdark Magazine! This is the second book in the dark historical fantasy Grimnir Saga, about the last living orc in medieval Scandinavia. Book 3 arrives later this month!
#Writephant Q1 — Are any of your stories set in outer space? If so, where?
So many of them are. I've had a lot of #DoctorWho stories published in various books and magazines. I love to write timey-wimey stuff wibbling and wobbling.
I'll include a screenshotted description of both of my original WIP novels that are set somewhere in space.

Amazon DE is having a glitch, and The Warrior, Book 1 of The Memorian Prophesies is still up for grabs for FREE.
I have no idea how long it'll take them to fix it, but the normal price is 2.99.
So jump over and grab the first book of a stunning, complicated and dark series. (I have been proofreading it, so I know what I'm talking about.) Do it now!
Please respond by saying what sorts of TTRPG things you're pretty likely to either talk about or respond to if you see them.
This can be a list of games (D&D! Tribe 8! Fate!) or categories (the weirdest of indie stuff! NSR! Anything PBtA!), topics (Worldbuilding! Publishing!), stuff you're making, meta-commentary (The State Of The Industry), and so on.
Then maybe share, and if the replies are building up, check them for new people.
#writingWonders 29/6 how would you feel if your book got banned?
Considering the kind of people who generally want to have books banned, I'd feel accomplished. That only means I've succeeded in ruffling the feathers of those who needed their feathers ruffled.
