I have to say… I’m really getting excited about how With Your Shield is going! Chris has been hard at work the past few days on his parts of the book, and WOW! You are NOT going to want to miss this look at the Golden Horde.   Maybe I should say just a LITTLE…

Well, things are moving right along with ‘With Your Shield’ in the Four Horsemen universe. I’d say I’m about half-way through at this point, and I’m really very excited about what’s going down on the pages between Chris Kennedy and myself. I’m even thinking… just maybe… the main character and his ‘work’ might be seen…

Almost 10k words down in With Your Shield this weekend, and I may not be done. I was thinking today about my inspirations for writing. Not books I’ve read, but authors I’ve met and talked to. The first brush I had with authors was probably back in about 1994 or so. I was a volunteer…

That’s the tentative title for my first novel written with Chris Kennedy! It’s pretty exciting getting to this point. There’s just something about having a title that makes the move toward publishing my first novel a bit more real. I’ll be a bit more active as we really get rolling toward release sometime this year!

So, here we go. Setting up this site is a way of making this journey as an author real for me. Here I am as seen by my wife, working on my first novel at our local zoo while she kept my daughter busy.
