Boy, this blog sure is getting dusty, huh? I think I saw a cobweb over in the corner. The spider seemed comfy though, so I figured I’d let it be. Anyway, hi! Welcome back to, well, my blog. I really would like to update this more. We’ll see how that goes. Right now, I have […]
Sometimes I forget that this is a blog. I can write stuff and be all like “yo check this shit out”, you know? I know, I know, I’m the Shakespeare of our time. Anyway, I’ve done a bunch of stuff, you might be interested. Since you’re here reading this and all. First of all, Little […]
So this is a thing I don’t really do often: talk about a project I’m working on in any sort of detail. But right now, I have a project I’m excited about, and I want to share it with you! My big project right now is a work of interactive fiction called Little Witch Story. […]

For the past few months, in addition to my own work, I’ve been helping build an incredibly cool service for people who like to read. Which, if you’re here, probably includes you. The service is called Lumi, and the premise is simple. Sign up with a name and an email address, pick some genres, and […]
So I’ve had an interesting experience self publishing. I’ve tried a variety of services, methods and formats. I put ebooks up on Kindle, Smashwords and Lulu, with mixed results. I sold physical books through CreateSpace and Lulu, with mixed results. At this early stage of my career, I’ve sold very little, but learned a lot. […]
