Never give up. Believe in yourself. Know that your voice is authentic and real, and *unique*!

That is a very good question, and a major part of my story. If you look at my work, you might notice that I wrote a lot prior to 2020, and then stopped cold. That, my friends, was a five year writer's block I was grappling with, along with some much needed emotional and spiritual healing work which had to come first (I can't say why!), before the writing could resume.
Then, in January 2024, the floodgates re-opened, and I've been writing ever since. And now, it's my year to publish all that new material!
So how do deal with it? I wish I knew! All I can say is, if you're struggling with it, don't give up. I wanted to so many times, but for some reason, I just kept on pushing through, until I could write again.

I have a serialized novel ongoing on Royal Road, Solaria Rising, which is the first book of the Technoquatics series. You can read that for free, but I can't tell you the ending because, honestly, I haven't written it yet! That's the nature of these things.
I also have a lot more non-fiction writing on-file, which I'm not quite sure what to do with. A lot will have to do with the reaction I get to Wounded Angels. If folks want more, I've got it! But probably not in the same raw, straightforward format. Wounded Angels was special in that regard.
On the large-scale fiction front, I have two sci-fi books in progress, both slated for publication this year. 51-1 follows a brilliant but broken researcher obsessed with unlocking a true fountain of youth—driven by a subconscious need he’s desperate to fulfill. The Vibrants explores creativity in a world where collaboration blurs to the point where it’s no longer clear whether the humans, the Vibrants, are guiding the process—or merely playing servant to the true masters, the Resonators, their A.I. counterparts.

It came about organically after I'd spend a number of years on emotional and spiritual healing. Inner child healing work played a major role. Then last summer, I suddenly felt compelled to start writing my work down, and it flowed naturally all summer long. I never intended for this book to happen, I've always been focused on fiction. But, the universe had other ideas!
