Books That I Have Out

Greetings to everyone in the Mid-Realms and beyond!

It's been years since I updated this page, and I mostly blame the demands on my time, and the interest I see online.

As far as the first one goes, I've been writing more, I've tried to keep up with my math blog, which contains math exam discussions and my webcomic (x, why?), and work itself has picked up for me after several years as a glorified floating substitute teacher. (I've landing an actual position and inherited all the demands that go with it.)

As far as the second goes, I've seen recent interest online within the Guardians community, so I figured that I could update this blog once in a while. It exists to be a resource, and all the resources are here, but I think people don't want to interact with a blog if they think the creator has gone away. Note: If you leave a comment or question, I'll get an email, so I will get back to you.

On the writing front, you can check out my Writing Credits on my Author Page. But here are some highlights:

In 2020, I had my first book, In A Flash 2020 published by eSpec Books. One of the stories in there was called "Once Upon A Time", which I mentioned a long time ago in my entry on the Naiad, a homebrew card based on an image I found online. Side note: I don't know if I still have those files that I used to create the cards. I will say that I use MS Paint, so it was a difficult process.

In 2021, I had three more flash stories published in Devilish & Divine from eSpec Books. One of them got mentioned in Publishers Weekly, which instantly made my bucket list and then got crossed off as completed.

The following year, I finally managed to crack Daily Science Fiction but they folded before I could managed to sell a followup story.

I produced another book of flash fiction, but in the chaos of the past few years, it had to wait until its time was ready. Getting a little antsy, and trying to create a market for myself, I started publishing Burke's Lore Briefs, which would be mini books containing a few short stories, which were a part of Burke's Lore.

 

For the Guardians fans, "Burke's Lore Briefs" contains TWO bad puns, so I had to use it. However, as a result of self-publishing these books, my new book of fiction won't carry the banner of "Burke's Lore" -- unless I get ridiculously famous or something in the meantime. That's on me.

Anyway, if any one is interested, I added the Amazon links to my books with the images above.

And I'm pleased to announce that A Bucket Full of Moonlight is scheduled for release in August 2024. I can't wait.

So if any of my Guardians fans are avid science fiction and fantasy readers, please, check out my books.
