Musings
As I get older, I’ve experienced multiple instances of good turning bad, and bad turning good. It’s encouraged me to tone down the judgment and reactive negativity. On a related note, I’ve come to believe that true abundance isn’t defined by time or material, but from possibility itself. Who knows what opportunities we’ll be able…

Atriya Was Never Meant to Stay in One World
Atriya isn’t just a character. He’s what happens when one world isn’t enough to contain the truth.

On my creative process…
I view myself more as a sculptor or whittler than an inventor. I see a couple scenes and climactic moments, produce a sloppy block of clunky material (my draft), then whittle and chip and shave at its edges, until I clarify the energy from my rough-hewn vision, to the point where I feel it’s communicated…

He Didn’t Stay in Echo… Atriya Crossed Over
Atriya didn’t disappear when Echo ended. He crossed into something deeper — something most readers don’t even realize is connected.

A zany and profane ad for my paperbacks for the Unbound Realm, soon available directly for purchase from King’s Entertainment
I’m a grown-ass dude, but that don’t stop me from jorkin’ it like a madman. I’m talking enough kinetic energy to start a damn fire, using a bow-and-drill setup during a once-in-a-century, tropical downpour. If it weren’t for the lube, my wiener would look worse than Vader’s burnt-ass— Suddenly my heart seizes and abruptly flatlines. …

You Don’t Feel Like Yourself Because You’re Not
There’s a version of you that fits your life. It says the right things. Makes the right choices. Does what’s expected. And then there’s the version of you that doesn’t. The one that questions things. The one that feels restless. The one that doesn’t quite belong in the life you’ve built. Most people ignore that…

The Real Reason You Don’t Change Anything
It’s not fear of failure. That’s what people say. But that’s not what stops you. It’s something quieter. More subtle. It’s the realization that if you actually change something… everything else might have to change too. And that’s where it gets uncomfortable. Because it’s not just about one decision. It’s about unraveling the life you’ve…

On my creative process…
Typically, my inspiration doesn’t work in a linear fashion–I’m gifted with an exciting scene or possibility, then I write my way towards it. Along the way, my characters develop their voices and reveal the philosophies that form their worldview. As I draft and edit, draft and edit (and once I’m finished drafting, edit edit edit…

It Was Never Supposed to Feel Like This
It’s not that anything is wrong. That’s what makes it harder to explain. You’re doing what you’re supposed to do. You’ve followed the path. You’ve made the decisions that make sense. And from the outside? Everything looks fine. But inside… there’s something that doesn’t line up. Not loudly. Not dramatically. Just a quiet, constant feeling:…
