  • Excerpt – TVB: “The Storyteller”

    “Are we forgetting anything?” Jaranin asked, looking up from trying to tame his tousled brown hair. His eyes skirted their surroundings.

  • Origins of The Victor’s Blade – Part 2 of 4

    I’m not sure how long The Golden Sword story lay waiting before I unearthed it. The story still hadn’t left me.

But he is meant to defeat the insurmountable. It’s his calling. His destiny. “This isn’t those tales. “This is about you, Jaranin. Not because you’re the one meant […]

  • It’s Begun, Hasn’t It?

    Welp. We’re here, friends. There’s no more hiding in the shadows of internet-lurking obscurity for me. I’ve bitten the bullet. I’ve shoved myself off the point of no return. I have done what all the hob-nobs and snoots of the literary world tell us feeble fiction newbies to do– I have finally made a blog. […]
