  • Triskelion Publishing is closing it’s doors

    ATTENTION

    Due to Triskelion Publishing’s notice of intent to file bankruptcy, I publicly reclaim all rights to my novel The Djinni, released on June 1, 2007. Thank you to everyone who purchased this book and for the support you all have shown me.  More information will be made available as I receive it.

    Thank you,

  • The Idea Factory

    Where do ideas come from? I was at a happy hour in DC last night (completely unrelated story) and someone asked where I get my ideas from. This is a question posed to writers quite often, in fact this is THE question posed to writers in general.

    I have no answer.

    I get ideas in line at the grocery store. I get ideas when I’m trying to get them and even when I’m not trying to get them. I assure you there is nothing more inconvenient than visualizing the perfect end to a story or imagining a particularly witty piece of dialogue only to discover that the only paper available to you is a tissue. Not necessarily a clean tissue either. You see my point.

    People seem to think there is some magestic place writers go whereupon they are mystically imbued with creative, colorful and dramatic ideas which serve as the basis for their novels. Unfortunately this is not so.

    If there was such a place I would go there everyday and I fear I would never leave. Until then, I will remain here in the real world where we get ideas from just living our lives and trying to see the good and the bad in it.
