Fireside Magazine Kickstarter
I’ve been off the radar a bit recently, but I assure you (because I know you’re concerned) I’ve been busy! And October’s going to be a crazy month for me — I’ll be attending the StoryWorld Conference in LA, as … Continue reading
Project Concordia: A Protagonist
When creating the concept for a story, developing a setting without developing plot or characters is silly. It’s the characters that will be the focus of the actual story, creating the narrative by navigating the plot they’re thrown into. The … Continue reading
Project Concordia: Dragons…in space!
At some point, a sci-fi setting also asks another important question: Aliens? I don’t want Concordia to be a cornucopia of exotic (all rather humanlike) aliens, like you see in so much sci-fi. I wanted it to be primarily about … Continue reading
Project Concordia: Station Structure

“Jack Frost and the Hooded Crow”
Today’s Christmas music post is a preview of a story I’ll be releasing in the new year as a part of my experimental transmedia fiction project Azrael’s Stop. ——————————————————– Ceph stoked up the fire. The bar was mostly empty — … Continue reading
Juvenilia — The Nova Dragon
Over on her blog Deus Ex Machinatio, Andrea Phillips put out a call for writers to post the crappy stuff we wrote when we were younger. She posted something she wrote as a teenager — I decided I should go … Continue reading
