Conduit 2: “You saw me die.”

First, let’s all pretend I know what day of the week it is and I didn’t miss posting this excerpt yesterday. All right? 😂 Second, every excerpt I post from here onward is rife with spoilers. All of the Conduit books pick up from where the last one ended. Like … without more than a […]

Daily exercise, reading Awry, and other brief reflections on May 1, 2025

I’ve done a terrible thing. Or perhaps just stupid? I took my measurements to help (?) me with my movement goal. I’ve always loathed stepping on a scale, but with how my brain works – the constant need to achieve, achieve, achieve (aka work, work, work to the detriment of my health) – I think […]

By reader request (😘) I’ve made Mirth, Part 2 available for preorder direct from me. Because I haven’t spent the time to figure out how to charge in multiple currencies (yet), the book is more expensive for my fellow Canadians (sorry!), as well as Austrailians and New Zealanders. For US and UK-based readers depending on […]

I’m the one to be truly feared.

[Teaser Tuesday: better late than never, yes?] MASSIVE SPOILERS BELOW! Sorry!! Second books are difficult to tease without spoilers. “These people …” Coda’s fingers are flying over their keyboards again, likely trying to gain access to whatever tech is beyond the passageway. “They care more about your purple eyes than your rank or, like, the […]

The revelation is overwhelming.

Teaser Tuesday: Mirth, Part 2 Mirth and I were forged from the same pocket of the universe. Everything my mother did to protect me, to care for me, steered me toward the destiny unfolding before me.

How to Read a Screenplay

Post background: in case you missed it, about a month or so ago I realized I was sitting on over a decade of stories (all workshopped, edited, etc) that I will never have the time (or the inclination, really) to rewrite into novel form. I asked my readers if they’d be interested in reading some […]
