I ran both my account and my wife's accounts for Pokemon Go today during Gofest. She had to work and she didn't want to miss some of the Mega pokemon raids.
Holy hell. My brain feels like pudding from trying to do all that at once.

So grateful for the chance to show off my work and talk to potential readers!

Had to stop browsing social media when I saw a story about a woman saying "God chose her son" while he dies from Measles after not being vaccinated.
I was so enraged and depressed, I had to stop what I was doing and move on to something more cheerful: The horror-themed monster scene in my WIP.
I love a good book-related trend!

On Friday March 6th at 6pm I'll be at Grass Roots Books in Corvallis, Oregon to sign copies of "Archblade: Legend of the Defiler", answer questions, and chat about reading/writing in general. Come say hello if you're in the area!

Saw this on Facebook and had to share:

Just saw how the White House is going to bailout the god-awful movie that Melania Trump made. Isn't it great how people with no talent or creativity can get special treatment like that?
While "normal" folks who put years of their life into art or writing just get lost in obscurity every day.
We found some channels that are quite good. We had our boys watching "Sci show" and "Sci show kids" who are big on fact checking and scientific accuracy. And that really seemed to rub off on my son.

My teenager is on a rant because a weather-based youtuber is making stuff up, and after fact-checking them, he has to go off about all the ways the youtuber is wrong
I'm proud of him for caring so much about scientific accuracy and gathering information from confirmed sources to find out the truth.
What an awesome day! One person deliberately asked to review my book, a nice couple bought a number of copies for their friend (Among them being a book influencer!) And it ended with the store wanting to stock copies of my book!
Thank you so much, Salem Barnes & Noble for having me!
#Booksky
A HUGE thank-you to Greg and Kelly for buying four copies for themselves and their friends. Your encouraging words were heartwarming and I'm still smiling from them.

Someone bought a copy and actually asked where they can review it!!!!
Thank you so much for asking that, sir. No one has ever reached out to ask about reviewing my book. That made my whole day!
My set up at Barnes & Noble in Salem!
I know it's a bit dark, but that's because they set me up right at the front window. Plenty of visibility and exposure for customers.

My nine-year-old son gave me a big hug and said, "I'm sure people will think your book is great!"
So everyone better brace themselves. I'm going to have an awesome event at Barnes & Noble today. It's inevitable!
With upcoming author events and progress on Oathbound, I thought it would be good to remake and improve some of my videos. Here is the first one showing off one of the best scenes.

Today, I had to face one of the hardest decisions I've ever made as a father.
I tore my sons away from their discussion about "Goku vs Various game characters" to focus on their responsibilities.
If you're in Salem Oregon, and you're a fan of Scifi/Fantasy novels, I invite you to come to @bnsalemor for my author event where I will be signging copies, showing off my spiffy banner, and chatting with fellow readers in general!

I was inspired by a writing prompt that asked for a "Christmas Fail" and wrote about a tragedy I endured a couple years ago.

Oathbound has so much that adds important contrast to the events of my first book. It takes a real look at someone trying to adapt to a very different societal structure with different morals and expectations. I can't wait to finish it and put it out in the world.
#Booksky
"You can do it!" My son cheers out to our guinea pig trying to hump the new guinea pig friend we got for him so he wouldn't be lonely.
Isn't Christmas with the family great?
My wife and I have a weekend alone ahead of us. So we start it off by discussing nice dinners, fun stuff to do at home (So far it's Diablo together) and her being passionately against the name "Dacian" for a female character in a future book of mine.
Don't think I'm going to win that last one.
Had some books returned via Ingramspark. Person bought 8 but returned 6 and they were in great condition, so I'm guessing they accidentally ordered too many.
Easy mistake to make, so now I'm trying to figure out what Igramspark is going to charge me for the books.

I've completed the first draft. As soon as the first major round of edits and rewrites are done, I'll be sending it to beta readers.
03.12.2025 22:38 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Its the second book in my series. It's a Scifi/Fantasy blend with Romance, space exploration, and a galaxy-ending threat.
03.12.2025 19:50 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I've seen lots of posts about folks wanting to join/make book clubs. Mostly they're women wanting to do romance-based clubs, but I think its worth a shot to try forming something with different genres.

My chief editor/writing partner/inspiration/motivation will be available soon!
Translation: My wife will be done with her degree. And I couldn't be more proud of her.
That means serious progress on Oathbound and shopping for Beta readers after that.

I don't know who came up with this, but I laugh my ass off every time I see it.
