Dear readers, I'm delighted to announce the first of a number of releases for 2019. Catalyst is a novelette introducing the world and one of the key players in the Tribari Freedom Chronicles dystopian sci-fi series. It will be available January 15th for purchase. I'll have a pre-order link up probably after Christmas. But without further ado, the cover reveal: About Catalyst : For a week, Brek Trigan has left behind the frigid nights and icy days of life on the mining colony he calls home. He's on holiday to his ancestral planet, and he finds a sparkling, welcoming world of riches and warmth. But the longer he remains, the more he begins to see cracks in the glistening façade. When civil unrest erupts, Brek's plans for a peaceful getaway are dashed. Suddenly he's drawn into a conflict that will change the fate of his people, whether he wants to be or not. Uprising , Book 2 in the series, is tentatively scheduled for a mid-to-late March release. U...

So I know I haven't updated the blog in a bit. Work and personal commitments have kept me busy, busy. Anyhow, thought I'd give my readers a bit of an update on my authorial journey. :p I decided to take the plunge and participate in NaNoWriMo - the November novel writing challenge. I'm working on a story I'd started last month, but this first week is committed to other things - so I don't feel like too much of a cheater. :-) It's a fantasy novel set in a Rome-esque world, tentatively titled, Realm of Vipers . I'll try to post my progress as the days go by, and maybe some sneak previews about the story. Wish me luck, y'all!

Here are some more pictures from Rib Mountain State Park. It's been really overcast so the color isn't as brilliant in the images as it is in real life, but it's awesome now. So crisp and vibrant! The dog loves it too :)

This is going to be one of those "writing inspiration" posts, rather than a book post.  :-) Now that fall is officially here and the temperature is dropping, it's time for some autumn foliage pictures. This is from Rib Mountain State Park (WI), on one of the observation decks. Love this view. The colors are just starting to show here...hoping I can get back there over the coming week as they continue to change. If I do, I will get pictures - and share an update!
