Well, I survived my first Monday back to the day job after a great weekend of panels at OSFest8. I had the privilege of participating in panels with the likes of Bryan Thomas Schmidt, Travis Heerman, Tamara Jones, W.J. Cherf, Matthew S. Rotundo, and Lou J. Berger. I have to admit, it was a little […]
My OSFest8 Panel Schedule
If you’re a science fiction fan in the Omaha area, you should check out this year’s OSFest8 convention taking place this weekend from July 31 – August 2. The weekend is filled with great panels about everything science fiction, as well as cosplay, room parties, 24-hour film felt, and more gaming than you can shake […]
Revisions: Don’t Try To Do Everything At Once
The September issue of Writer’s Digest has an article by Gabriela Pereira titled “The Great Revision Pyramid.” I was eager to read the article, as I’m working on a major rewrite of my second novel.

And the […]
The First Hundred Posts
