Some things you hear or read once… just once, and it strikes like lightning, tears the air like a thunderstorm, indenting so deep that for the rest of your life it stands like a monument in memory. Here’s mine … Continue Reading →
Mining Gyegan’s Ring
When my Facebook writing group Skywriters announced that they were doing an anthology themed around rings, at first I wasn’t interested.
I always found this theme-based style of writing too restricted. I prefer to write where my imagination takes me, not the other way around.
So I ignored the invitation, but somewhere in my mind, my imagination played with the idea, dissecting it, turning the pieces over, until one night inspiration came streaming. I decided to offer a story of my own.
I came up with a red gas giant, unnamed at the time. Surrounding this planet is a ring of dust, rocks, and ice. People must go there for some reason, but the environment is dangerous.
Then I started to write, and after several drafts and help from Skywriters, I created Mining Gyegan’s Ring. Here’s the basic idea of […]

Overview on Chronicles of the Cursed Crown
So if you’ve been keeping up with my posts, you’ve probably heard me mention the short story collection Chronicles of the Cursed Crown.
But what exactly is it, and what does it have to do with the novel Guardian of the Cursed Crown?
Today I’ll give an overview about the collection and what you can expect from it.
The Collection
Chronicles of the Cursed Crown is a collection of eight individual short stories that occurred years, sometimes even centuries before Larsen dug Gwen from her grave and carried her into Desanorbis.
I say individual because each stands on its own as an entire story, with a beginning, a climax, and an ending, yet they are all connected in some way. One story might have a character that appears in the main novel, and another might be about a place that Larsen encounters during his […]
