    It’s been a wild session for the Florida Senate and House this year. While I had initially started compiling a list of important bills to keep an eye on, things quickly devolved once the session began. Of the 974 Senate bills that were proposed this session only 205 total bills between the two chambers have…

    How are you all doing? April has been a wild ride, hasn’t it? Things are still moving at pace here. Despite some difficult moments, I will say there’s been lots of positives to celebrate too. We have a house finch family nesting just outside our front door. It’s been a joy to watch the tiny…

    As mentioned in ​On Doing the Thing (Again)​​​ the next book in the Far North series is now with alpha readers! Has been since the start of the month too. It’s clocking in at 163 pages and 115k words, so I suspect it will be some time before notes are returned to me. We also finished our play-through of…

    I wonder if it’ll ever normalize that I keep writing and churning out new novels. Early this month, I finished the first draft of Far North – Returning: Vic. It’s still a shock. While there’s still plenty of editing work left to do, that’s half-way through the series as it’s been planned. When I was…

    Hi, hello, how are you? I’ll be keeping this update rather short and with minimal formatting. Why? Well, I’m trying out some new things and haven’t fully settled on how I want to present everything just yet. One noticeable change is that I’ve stopped recording word counts for each day. At the end of January…

    It really seems as the year goes on, the months get shorter. I hope, however the news of the recent US election landed with you, that you’re doing well. It came as a shock in a way that I wasn’t quite prepared for, to be honest, and I’m working on collecting my resolve for another…

    The month really felt like it flew by. Now, here we are, the end of October and about to finish out the rest of the year. This is also my chance to remind you: if you’re in the US, you have a matter of days to either get your ballot in or get prepared to…

    September was so busy! Around all my doctors appointments (don’t worry, all is well, just routine stuff), we also did a co-op stream with friend of the channel DarkSableye. We played both sides of The Past Within — the only co-op title in the Rusty Lake series of room escape puzzle games. It was a…

    Summer is almost over. We’re finally in the back half of the year. I’d say put on your cozy sweaters, but honestly, it’s still been pretty warm here. Plus, from what I hear, there may yet be some crazy tropical development until the end of hurricane season. Guess we’ll just have to see what happens!…
