Websites for Unpublished Authors: The Chicken and the Egg Problem

Hi all! I have a new patreon post up. Authors definitely need an online presence, but without a book deal, what do you put on it? Click here to read!

It’s free to view with a (free) follow or a subscription at any level. Please help spread the word to clients and writer friends if you think it’ll be helpful for them. 🙂

New Story Time!

Very pleased to announce that my story “All the Light in the Room” is now available in the anthology Interdimensions Vol. 1: 2024 (a GenCon Writers Symposium Anthology) from Atthis Arts, edited by Toiya Kristen Finley.

You can click on the cover image (or click: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DD7CGG59/) to go to Amazon and give it a peek!

New on my Patreon

With everything else going on, it’s a fun challenge to remember to update my Patreon and come up with things to say. I’m trying to keep it varied enough to appeal to writers, editors, readers, and gamers.

Today I posted the second installment on a series about my novel Aether’s Pawn and the real-world places that served as inspiration for the book.

A look at one of my favorite UK villages, and how it inspired my novel. Now available on my Patreon from the $3 tier and up. (With bonus cat.)

Announcing Ravenloft: Mist Hunters

I’m excited to announce that Dungeons and Dragons Adventurers League has invited me back to write another roleplaying adventure. I’ll be penning Part 11 of 12, coming to the Dungeon Masters Guild in January 2022.

What’s this all about? Click to discover some mysterious hints on the official D&D Blog.

I can’t tell you much at this point, but here are some things I can confirm about my adventure:

  • It will have pages.
  • It will be available at the Dungeon Masters Guild (where you can currently find my adventure Forge of Fangs).
  • It may contain maps and/or sidebars, and/or stat blocks.
  • It is currently SHROUDED IN SECRECY.

I think that’s all I can safely reveal! But more info will appear here as secrets emerge from the mists. Stay tuned!

Forge of Fangs

I’m pleased to announce that my D&D Adventurers League adventure, FORGE OF FANGS (DDAL 08-15) is now available for purchase at the DM’s Guild website.  You can get the PDF, for hours of fun, for a mere $4.99.

I’ll be running this adventure for the first time at the upcoming Bookwyrm Gaming Convention, coming to Woodward Park Library in Fresno, CA the weekend of April 6-7, 2019.

My contact info is on the main page of the blog if you’d like to chat about having me come out and run this adventure for your organization or convention. 🙂

I’ve been a D&D player since Mr. Lawrence, my third-grade teacher, introduced us to the game in class. I’m over the moon to have the chance to officially be a part of the world and its lore.

If you play it, please drop me a line and tell me about it!

Attention, Adventurers!

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve signed on with Wizards of the Coast to write an adventure for the Dungeons and Dragons Adventurers League!

I can’t share much at this time, but:

  • I’m really excited to have the chance to be cruel to a whole new audience of players!
  • I’ll share more news here on my website as I can.
  • As with my Pathfinder PFS scenario, I’ll be happy to run it for your gaming group / convention if you help me get to you.

Additionally, for those who got here through my newsletter and were promised that they could “find out more” at this link:

  • The adventure will be available in PDF format at the Dungeon Masters Guild.
  • It will probably involve humanoids and/or monsters, and at least one quest.
  • I’ll be working with some very talented designers.
  • If you print out the adventure, I’ll be happy to sign it for you.
  • EEEEEE, I’M WRITING FOR D&D! My inner 8-year-old, who first learned D&D in Mr. Lawrence’s 3rd grade class, is bouncing off the walls. 🙂
