Book #15 go live imminent!

84,000 words, easily most ambitious book to date by a huge margin. I have a 16th book well in the works with a 17th in the far off future. Every time I say "its my last one" two more ideas pop into my mind. I think I might even have an 18th, but I'm not 100% sure about that one.

Basically #15 is Sealth (aka Seattle)
16 will be Portlandia (aka portland. earthquakes, floods, explosions, and more!)
17th Astoria (its going to tidal wave + flood, spoilers!)
18th Olympia??? (dont have a premise for this one yet) Maybe the homeless will take it over and make it into a fking kickass sprawling homeless metropolis. :O

Already have several stories covering Puyallup and the garbage dump known as Everett. Several stories covering Olympic peninsula. Debating one about Bremerton, still not sure yet. We'll see how well #15, 16, 17 is received.

Thanks as always! Tell you friends and take care. Tons more to come.

PNW Affliction 1: Recycled - The Retrospective

PNW Affliction 1: Recycled - The Retrospective Alright. This's been a long time coming, and there's probably no real better place to start than at the beginning. Spoilers abound, although this's mostly "behind the story" type stuff. This book isn't actually the beginning of the story by any means. It's the beginning of the main character though, and it's how this whole "universe" got started. Basically I had a dream one night of walking and it getting progressively darker until there was no light left. Just like nearly every single one of my books, this started out with a basic premise. Really no more than a "first act" if you will. I wrote the first act, peppered in with some things that were real, like me having a cat that played with a plastic bag while I tried to sleep. I can't exactly remembered where the premise came from for act two, except that I've always been fascinated by recycling and the recycling logo. ...

Plans for the blog

There's a few things (besides basic updates and status) I've wanted to do for a long time. I'd been doing some of them on Facebook, but due to the cancerous algorithms, even people who followed my page rarely got to see updates amongst all of the paid advertising spam. So here we go, in no particular order. Retrospectives: Basically go over the design process of each book. Some of them are fairly interesting, and only a handful were straight forward. Word count: Every time there's a new book, or I do edits that change the word count of the books by more than a hundred words or so, I like to keep that updated. It's fun for me. Artwork: I generated quite a bit of artwork for these stories. Not nearly as much as the webcomic project I did before this, but still quite a significant amount. Also to include the back story on each piece. Although I'm a little divided on whether I should do that here or on DeviantArt. We'll see. Maybe if the feedback is positi...

9/5/2018 update

Free book weekend went good. Gave away 36 more books between book #1 and book #5. Slowly working on book #14 and 15 at the same time. I hate it when this happens. I still don't have a tablet I can type on to write books when I'm actually inspired so I have two spiral bound notebooks alternating between two stories. I decided to shelve part of 14 and make it into a standalone novel, the other part of 14 will focus on the core of the story I was trying to tell instead of running off with itself. #13 just needs to be edited. I'm 3-4 books behind in my editing and half the people that've read my books only comment is, "I need an editor." If they only knew how much that would cost me. I have reached out to several publishers and the responses range to being ignored to flat out insulted at the sheer thought of it. You're apparently supposed to do the whole thing yourself, then hire someone who pitches your book or some nonsense, whatever. Wtf is the point of...
