Just waiting for the proof copy of my new book, 'Defeat', to get there. I'd like to think that I'm waiting patiently... but yah, not so much ;)

Can't wait for it to get here!

Did you know light from the Sun takes ~8 minutes to reach Earth? This means that the Sun you see is already eight minutes gone...

Currently re-reading The Dark Elf trilogy, starting with Homeland. I first read it years ago, and my new series, The Baneseeker Chronicles, is loosely inspired by it. So far, it's quite good, I have to say, just as good as I remember it to be :)

My new book and Kickstarter campaign are just around the corner!

Since it is Canada Day, I thought I would share my personal choices for the Top 10 Canadians (pre-colonial to today).

This is just my opinion, nothing more. Everyone will have their own Top 10 with different names :)

🛠️ Writing Update!
This past week, I’ve been polishing a novelette set in the World of Arvelas, titled Kasaril. I’ve revised 4,897 words so far (the full story runs about 15,000 words).

Can you believe I started this story all the way back in 2017?

Ah, I love your optimism :) It turns out that my 8 y-o is already quite the reader. He made it in the top 10% of top readers on Goodreads last year ;) He's showing me how it's done!

I always sleep better when I read before bed time :)

It used to be 30 minutes or more, and now, as a parent of four young children, it's anywhere between 1 minute to 30 minutes, rarely more, something no reading at all...

Just read this today:
"My children's life is my childhood's dream... but that was the whole point."

I like it... I really really like it. Makes me want to do even more for my children.

Now that my upcoming book is done, I took a pause, and now, I'm having a hard time getting back into writing... doh!

Big Congrats! This is amazing :)

I AM DYING OMG THANK YOU

My next book is with my editor, and I'm hesitating about what to write next...

A short story... or the following book in my dark fantasy series... hmmm...

I can't travel as much now with four young children, so... I've started a puzzle of Machu Picchu :)
