Finishing Things

I’m working on my third million dollars. Yes, I gave up on the previous two…

Always Writing

You’re a writer, you know how it is. You write. You have to write, not because it’s your job, but because it’s like breathing.

Avast, Ye Readers!

Five Years to Independence: Year Five – the Year of Independence
