I want to say a heartfelt “thank you” to everyone who has recently purchased/read Mechhaven Book 4: Rally Point, or any of the other books in the Mechhaven series. I truly appreciate your support. Also, “thank you” to all of you who’ve been with me from the beginning, or found my books somewhere in-between! With…
The countdown is on! Less than a week until the release of Rally Point! For me, I have just under two days to finalize the manuscript and upload it to Amazon to meet the release date. My final read through is going well. At this point, I’m enjoying the story as a reader, but found…
With the transition to my new computer complete, I’m plowing full-speed ahead with the final prep for Rally Point and a few other projects (see Mechhaven Missives below). This time of year is super busy with my day job and once I send out this newsletter, I’ll be working through most of this weekend to…
Exciting news below… but first some dramatic tension… I love technology. I hate technology. As I near the final editing and formatting processes for Rally Point, my computer has become progressively slower and less reliable. It hangs up for seconds to minutes between mouse clicks and simple changes. Other times it randomly restarts. Over the…
Last weekend, my youngest son and I attended Anime Expo in Los Angeles. We commuted the first day and stayed overnight for the remaining days. We even cosplayed as characters from One Piece for all four days. My son was Monkey D. Luffy, and I was one of his mentors, Silvers Rayleigh. Even though it…
Just some quick updates this week… as of the writing of my last newsletter, my family and I were off to watch Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. We thoroughly enjoyed it and thought it was probably the best of the Transformers movies…except for maybe the Cyberton sequence of Bumblebee. The sun is out in SoCal…
As soon as I finish sending this newsletter, I’ll be on my way to watch Transformers: Rise of the Beasts with my family. I’ve always been a casual Transformers fan. I watched the original cartoon when it aired back in the 80s but with nowhere near the enthusiasm I had for Voltron or Robotech. I…
After what seemed like an extended season of goodbyes ranging from sports teams senior nights, the last week on campus, finals week, senior activities week including a Baccalaureate, and Grad Bash (Universal’s version of Disneyland’s Grad Night), my youngest son, Logan, graduated from high school last night. I’m super proud of him and my older…
Last week I had the pleasure of watching two movies, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. I enjoyed both movies tremendously. To be honest, I was particularly worried about Dungeons & Dragons, because, let’s face it, the previous attempts at making D & D movies have been of…
This morning I found myself reflecting on anticipation. Over the years, I’ve discovered the anticipation of certain events can be both better and/or worse than the actual event. Case in point, the weeks (or months) leading up to Christmas is often more exciting than the actual events of Christmas Day. Not that Christmas is bad,…
