All in all the reception was pretty good. So first I'm going to update the current short story with … Continue reading A lil something for the gamers
Back in Business
It has been a long strange trip since I last made a blog post. My life has taken several unexpected turns and I have had to crawl my way back up from hell, like many others before me. Like the many characters that live and breathe in worlds of my own creation. So rather than … Continue reading Back in Business
Bloody Skulls
Here's the first chapter in a new story I started. Originally I had planned on a short story, but the Kruuj, the Grand Justicar, the Allfather and the Church of the Vigilant Phoenix would have none of that. They insisted that their story be told in full. And so begins the tale of forces that … Continue reading Bloody Skulls

Back from the void
My baby girl Journee was born on the 31st of July. She was born with seizures which led to lack of oxygen. We spent 8 days living out of the Ronald McDonald House watching our girl with tubes and test and all manner of things in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
