Epic Fantasy Ramblings

Welcome to the dusty corner of this site, where I ramble about epic fantasy and hiking and don’t give a crap about grammar rules and other fun things. I’ve been writing on and off this blog for a good eight years now, and don’t have a specific schedule. Sometimes I’ll post three things in a week. Sometimes two in a day. Sometimes I’ll forget about this place and won’t touch it for months and months on end until someone makes me feel bad about traffic and SEO and websites and I go here and rant about goats. That’s…just the randomness you can expect from my thoughts.

There’s a way to subscribe to this thing along with 3000 bots so that you don’t miss updates. Get ye to that white bar over yonder and type in your email add. Don’t worry, the bots don’t bother you.

This was the troublesome dilemma for me, nevertheless taking note of the very professional fashion you treated the issue made me to leap with gladness. I am just grateful for the guidance and in addition believe you comprehend what a great job you happen to be undertaking teaching men and women through your websites. Probably you have never encountered any of us.”

You see? Totally genuine.

Outlaw Mage came out last August, and it’s interesting because it’s my first title that went through the Kickstarter route first. It was supported mainly by people…


  • An Apology to My Daughters #1: I’m Sorry for the Racists

    I said last year that Outlaw Mage was dedicated to my daughters. In some ways, it is a love letter to them. A way for me to put down what I’ve had to learn in the last 24 years trying to navigate the Western World, which was so, so hard that I’ve lost count of…


  • The Don’t Look Spell and My Recently Diagnosed ADHD

    In my Agos-agan books, there’s a spell that mages can stamp on objects with a glyph to make them slip past people unnoticed.
