Takeshi Kovacs Years ago, I read Altered Carbon by Richard K. Morgan and loved it. The Netflix series and I watched the first 1.5 episodes before I got busy and sidetracked (work, deadlines, family, sleeping). The other day, I dove back in and really enjoy it. Is it perfect?

A Million Words
By the time I complete Darkness Falls (Homeworld Lost, Book 11), I will have written over one million words in this series. That’s a lot, even for a prolific word chunker like yours truly. What does it take to keep a story going this long? The most important factor is that I find the characters […]

Progress Report – Victory Day
Writing the ending of a novel, especially the third in a series, can be loads of fun, or pure hell. But it’s rarely easy. Today I’m crafting the grand finale of this alien invasion action fest. The kids are finally in school again; the house is quiet, and I’m full of ambition, coffee, and dreams […]
