My newest book, Viola Air, is now out.
I’m excited, writing it was the smoothest experience I’ve had in a long time. 2025 actually saw me able to write and complete two full-length books in one year, something I hadn’t managed before. So enjoy this pop epic of a plane factory in Ohio!

Melancholy Halloween
Happy Halloween from the zombie sorceresses.
It feels a little melancholy regarding this blog. Like I’m just losing more will to post on it. But it doesn’t feel like writers block. It feels like I’ve honestly accomplished what I set out to do here.
In any event, I’ll be busy writing (hopefully) my next book in the coming month, so possibly expect even less activity here.
I’m going to try NaNoWriMo
In the past, I viewed NaNoWriMo as a gimmick. But this year I’m going to try it. Subject? I’m not telling you yet!
Text LLMs
Not despite but because I’m a writer, I’m looking more at text AI LLMs/models and using them. Why? Well, we have to go back to Leopold Stokowski, a legendary conductor who supposedly saw one of the first sound mixers and went “uh, so what do you need me for?” He of course then got to work studying and using them, knowing he couldn’t be left behind from this combination threat and opportunity. Image AI generators have been beautiful for me because they didn’t overlap. Writing ones do overlap, which is why I’m finding them interesting.
Part of the reason (besides knowing they’re just a rich man’s autocomplete dependent entirely on inputs) I was less panicky about AI is because my family has lived through a lot of creative technical changes already. Musicians may not like and not use synthesizers if they can help it, but they have to know how they work. Same for writing.
Terrible People And Terrible Things Is Out
Terrible People And Terrible Things is now out!
Get it here.
Terrible People and Terrible Things is Done!
Terrible People and Terrible Things is done, submitted, and will be out next month.
Preorder it here.
Note on the lack of content
You may notice a lack of Fuldapocalypse content. This is because all my writing effort is going into finishing Terrible People and Terrible Things. Just thought I’d let you know.
Terrible People and Terrible Things Preorder/Release Date
Delighted to give a happy Easter gift: The release date and preorders for the ebook version of Terrible People and Terrible Things.
Preorder it here. I had a lot of fun making the cover.
Working on a Book
Fuldapocalypse may be light because I’m in full swing on a new novel. This is unrelated to my others and has the title Terrible People and Terrible Things. This is yet another reason why posting is down. But I’m having a lot of fun writing it.
The Writing Lull
One of my least favorite parts of creative work is the writing lull after something gets finished. And now with The Fuldapocalypse World War III book out, I’m feeling it again. Oh, work on the next All Union. No, work on that other project you wanted. No, work on…
I’ve learned after years of creative writing that it’s very hard to force creativity. I just have to wait and see what inspiration comes to me next. Hopefully it’ll be good and workable.
