I finished the final touches on The Scourge of Muirwood this week, wrapping up a trilogy that has been several years in the making. There is still much to do still – like re-reading the entire trilogy to see how it flows and blends, but having finished the series is

During the holidays in December, I was able to start on the third installment of the Muirwood series. I have completed the first 80 pages so far and hope to finish the project by September 2010. There are a lot of words to write between here and there, but I

October 1, 2009 – finished the first draft of Blight of Muirwood. Right now, it’s around 450 pages, so longer than the first book and I’m heaving a sigh of relief for being done. Last weekend my wife read it all and we’ve had some good discussions about it. I

I think I’m down to the home stretch on Muirwood – another 5-6 chapters and it should be finished. As I was writing a chapter this weekend, the convergence of the scene really prompted me to accelerate to the ending. It felt like the pacing, the build-up, was finally coming

A lot has happened since my last posting. First and foremost, my wife gave birth to another baby – a little boy we’ve named Bryant. That makes four kids and so the nights have been rough, but it’s all good. In the book, Lia and Colvin are in the middle

I had a neat experience last Friday going to the Googleplex in Mountain View. A few weeks ago, I got an e-mail from a past co-worker who is now at Google. He told me that his son Kevan was a fan of LANDMOOR and wanted a copy of SILVERKIN signed. So
