Knocked out most of a chapter for second draft of Silver and Garlic today. Really happy about how this book is coming along.
Originally a handful of short stories, now being realized as a novel. Trevor's backstory made me tear up a little.

I also had a solid idea for the second book, so I decided to build parts of the book toward that.

A guilt ridden cyborg.
Your fears made flesh.
A fiancé's betrayal turns her into a literal monster.
The beast desires to kill again, but can she use her sliver of willpower to stop it.
Enter my worlds and be changed.
I spent 5 hours yesterday on rewrites on 'Silver & Garlic'. I had an idea when I wrote the first draft to include a character from a different story I wrote, but she just didnt fit as a permanent member of the main characters.
I have tomorrow off from my jobjob and I think I have to restructure the end of Silver and Garlic again. I have a solid idea for the second book, but it requires a little bit of set up; which means some changes to the current version.
But I think they'll make the story more interesting.
We'll see.
You can live in the light until then. Even if that means you'll have to live in ignorance.
-Silver & Garlic: Of Wolf and Gods

Hoping to get more of 'Silver & Garlic: Of Wolf and Gods' done tonight, but takes second place to the return of the Devil of Hella Kitchen.
Now that I'm working on the 2nd draft of Silver and Garlic: Of Wolf and Gods, I'm starting to build the second book in my head and in notes on my phone. Story points, chapters, plot points, character arcs... I hope it all will mean something and I can actually get a publisher interested.

What she didn't say is that she still loved him, even after everything he'd done.
What he didn't tell her was that he would never forgive himself.

After years of putting it off, I, nearly life long Ninja Turtles fan, read The Last Ronin.
I can't believe @paramountplus cancelled the movie version that was going to be a direct sequel to the original trilogy. That's such a goddamn blunder.

Goddamnit. I had an idea for an epiilogue for Of Wolf anf Gods and maybe an alternate title that might be more marketable.
So here I am, instead of second drafting on my day off, writing a whole character interaction to cap off the novel and tie up some loose ends.

I'll be knocking out the middle part of 'Of Wolf and Gods' 2nd draft this week. My mother in law just got out of rehab for her cardiac incident, so I've been a bit busy.
I'm ready to get back to it.

Someone named Donald Trump didnt die as an infant to a wealthy family. I mean, how bad can this new timeline be?
When I say I've improved as a writer in the last several years, I wasn't kidding. Comparing the final version of the original short story 'Wolves in the Ice' vs Second draft of new Dreadful novel that folds that story into it's first chapter.
And we finally have the final, text version of Issue 2 of The BulletProof Ghost! The reflection of the future and the grocery store are directly influenced by both Boonville and Tennyson, Indiana of my youth.
Now my mother in law is more stable from her cardiac event, I'll try to write more and post on here more. I know I've been absent and I'm sorry. Just been really busy lately. Thanks for the support and I hope to have updates on 'Of Wolf and Gods' soon. ❤️

The only writing update I have is that I'm slowly getting through the 2nd draft of 'Of Wolf and Gods'. Hopefully as the situation stabilizes, I'll be able to finish this draft.

Sorry for the lack of updates lately. Last Thursday, my mother in law had a seizure that landed her in the ICU. She's still there and gradually improving.
Due to the impending weather, I will not be attending Frankfortcon. Apologies and I hope to see you at other events.

New website updates are happening today! The first blog post just covers a high res version of The BulletProof Ghost Issue 2 comic book cover being finished.
2026 signing events will be up later. And perhaps a video or two.

Well if the snow storm effs up Franfortcon, then I'll have time to do a couple and hopefully final rewrites of 'Of Wolf and Gods' and get back to milling through the second draft.

The weather permitting part doesn't seem to be going my way.😅
Weather permitting, I'll be here.

Well, now there's a movie coming out called The Dreadful starring multiple actors of Game of Thrones fame... so it looks like I'm renaming 'Dreadful: Of Wolf and Gods' to simply 'Of Wolf and Gods', which will likely become the series name.

Locked in a few signing events today and may have more to announce. Trying to hit states I haven't visited as a writer before. One place is 6.5 hours away, which is the furthest I've gone. ☺️

Trying to knock out as much of Dreadful: Of Wolf and Gods 2nd draft before I go back to my jobjob. My goal for 2026 is to get this book published by a large distributor.
It's gonna be a year of submissions and more than likely a lot of rejections.😅
#booksky #horror
I just removed quite a bit of dialogue from the Sister's Keeper chapter of Dreadful: Of Wolf and Gods. It literally explains the plot of Scarlet Sheets, which is now the third chapter of this novel.
I hope the improvements in the novel will make it rereading these portions.
