An Exalted Depravity Now on Kindle Unlimited!
I’m proud to announce that my most recent novel, An Exalted Depravity (2016, but hey, more recent than my other books) is now available on Kindle Unlimited! So if you’re a subscriber to KU, go ahead and download it now! It’s probably the project I’m most passionate about, a sort of YA take on A Brave New World that asks what the cost of living an openly chaste life in a depraved society looks like. Grab it now, and be sure to leave an honest review with your thoughts afterward!

Praise for Finding Sage
I continue to be humbled by the things people are saying about Finding Sage. This is from a review that was posted on a book blog yesterday:
One word. Brilliant!!
This book was such an amazing read and an amazing adventure to go on.
You can read the whole review at this link.
There have also been some very positive Amazon reviews, such as this one:
Get ready for the ride of your life! This story pulls action from the beginning to the end. It is going to be one amazing series! There are lots of unexpected events, as the characters do things that surprise even themselves. It is very well written in several points of view. You will be guessing what is going to happen at every turn. If you love paranormal or dystopian books you will love this!
It’s really cool to see people see these kinds of things about my work.

The Beginning of a Blog Tour & a Free Giveaway
First of all, I haven’t updated this blog in a while. Sorry about that. The beginning of summer classes and the need to revamp the website caused me to push updating back. So now, I’m making a public announcement: this is going to be a once-a-week thing. Believe it. It’s happening.
Second, props to my good friend William Sipling for giving a killer new design to the website. It looks beast.
Now for the real news. Today starts a blog tour! What’s a blog tour, you say? Well, I’m glad you asked!
When most traditionally published authors release a book, they go on a tour to different book signings and interviews. Indie authors, however, often don’t have the same resources. One of the sacrifices of self-publishing is that you don’t have PR people to set these things up for you (although not all publishing houses even do that anymore). A good way to get around this is by doing blog tours, and using the internet to get the word out about your book. Today is the start of one of those, and I’m really excited. It will have book reviews, interviews with me, the music I listen to while I write, my dream cast, and more for Finding Sage.
Here’s the schedule and links to the websites. Be sure to stop in the websites and see what they have going on.

A Title Reveal and Back to the Writing Cave
At the beginning of this month, I was determined that I was going to have the first draft of my newest book done by the end of the month. I’m estimating it to be around 80,000 words. That’s right. I was going to write 80,000 words in a day. NaNoWriMo is only 50,000 words and a lot of people don’t make it, so I knew I was being ambitious. I was going strong, writing about 3,000 words a day, when something hit me.
My research paper.
Sometimes I forget that I’m still in college. It really sucks remembering that, especially when you have a 3,500 word research paper to write. Plus, there’s also your day job. Because of these responsibilities, I had to push drafting the novel back. It pained my heart to do so, but I’d really like to graduate with grades other than D’s, so it had to be done. However, I’m now proud to say that the paper in question has been submitted, and my coursework for the semester is completed. I do have summer classes, but those don’t start for another month, leaving me with quite a bit of time in between now and then to get some work done.
So it’s back to the writing cave. I’d like to say that I can work overtime and still get the book done on time, but I’m not that stupid. I’m only about a third of the way done, and there’s no way I’m writing 60,000 words in a week. I’m not that stupid. But all is not lost. I still plan to release the novel in the summer, and if I’m lucky, July, but I realize that things often get pushed back. It took me two years to write my first book, and with good reason. I was still figuring it out. Heck, I’m still figuring it out right now. But it’s coming.
Before I go back into the cave, however, I do have some exciting information. I have settled on a title for the second book of The Rogue. I’m throwing it out on the internet so that I can’t change my mind, as I’ve already done half a dozen times. I do really like this one, and I’m so confident in it that I’ve already ordered the book cover, which I hope to be able to show you sometime fairly soon. The title is (drum roll, please) . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . .

. . . . .
. . . .
A Gray Crusade.
Like it? I hope so. Otherwise all of that drama will have been incredibly childish.
Maybe it was anyway.
Oh well.

Finding Sage, and the future of The Rogue series
I am proud to announce that within 12 hours, Finding Sage will be available for purchase on Amazon Kindle!
Finding Sage is the first novel I’ve ever published, and I’m very proud of it. It’s the tale of people, called rogues, who display supernatural abilities. This is in a dystopian future where the world is under a global government that hunts these people and executes them, imprisons them, or turns them into assassins. The book follows the stories of these extraordinary individuals, and their attempts to find more of a meaning in life than running from death.
It’s the first of four books in the series, and this one mainly follows Silas, a young man who has the ability to tap into other people’s brains, allowing him access to thoughts, memories, and brain function. It’s not as great as it sounds though–if he is around too many people at the same time, he becomes weak, susceptible to sensory overload. When a crazy-eyed hobo named Eli saves his life, he begins searching for the man who might hold the answer to his problems, who could help him not only escape from execution, but also find meaning in his life: Sage.
