Out in the cold!

I can't believe it, We had snow this morning, well technically it was last night. This past week has been cool, mid to low teens(That's Celsius) but all of a sudden it's below freezing and snow is on the ground. Most of it melted throughout the day, but I expect more is on the way. I'm really not much of a winter person, which is an odd thing for me to say considering I moved to Sudbury recently. An intelligent man might have chosen to move south, but not me, I hate the cold so I'll surround myself with it. Lucky I didn't end up in Alaska.

News news news... I've decided to participate in NaNo WriMo this year. Not only will it be a challenge to me as a writer, but it will hopefully allow me to meet a few of the northerners who are now my neighbors. For any of your interested in checking out my profile, here's the link. Feel free to check back throughout November to watch my progress, kick me in the butt, or add me to your list of friends. For those of you unfamiliar with the event, it is basically a self-challenge to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. I've decided to increase the challenge by writing a historical fiction, though is is beginning to take on the qualities of an alternate history. To be honest, I won't know until I actually start writing (Which isn't until November 1st) but I'll do my best to stay on track. I have the spark of a good idea which I hope will turn into the fires of inspiration. Cross your virtual fingers for me.

I'll have more news by Friday about the state of my leg, I get the cast off on Thursday and they'll evaluate, but most likely it will be recast for two more weeks.

It can be difficult at times...

I've been having trouble finding a spare moment to update this darn blog. I'm so busy with the house renovations! The big news is that Tiger's Realm has been released in Ebook format. Only $5.99 for this amazing Science Fantasy novel. Trust me, it will be the best thing you ever read!

You can click the link on the left to purchase it, in the Release dates section.

Sorry I can't stay and chat more, but with all the work, plus the new TV season is getting going, I'll be around less often, but I assure you that I'll continue to post updates as often as possible.

Happy Canada day!

Well, it's actually 1 am here on July 2nd, but I just finished celebrating, so deal with it!

I haven't got much more to say, things are moving ahead slowly on the writing front. Just finished a large edit and have three more waiting. A few of the stores here in Sudbury are interested in carrying Tiger's Realm, so that's good news.

What else is there to say, I hope all my fellow Canadians had a wonderful day! All you Americans out there, just a couple more days for you...but Happy Independence day in advance!

Lastly, I'd like to leave you with a joke. Why do Canadians say EH so often? Just spell the country C, eh, N, eh, D, eh....LOL

'til next time, keep reading!

Here at last!

It took a little longer than anticipated, but I am sitting amongst a pile of boxes in my new home. Northern Canada is a beautiful place. Even as I look out my window over the city of Sudbury, I can still see vast expanses of forests! The people are friendly and the move went well, very little was damaged.
The network is set up and we're on high speed now. 16Mbps, which is super fast if you figure what most cable companies offer for internet. I still have so much work to do, unpacking and fixing the little things around the house, but I hope to have most of it done within the next month.
Eventually I'll get out and take some photos, so all of you can see the area. In the meantime, I'll keep posting blogs every couple of days and tell you what's happening in the world of writing.
Speaking of which, only a couple of weeks until Hunted by Chaos is released, keep an eye out for it!

Canada on the verge of death!

Well, not much here on the news front. I'm busy packing up everything for the move. So this is my last blog from my old place. The new house will have high speed, and I can't wait, unfortunately it won't be installed until the 26th. I'll be back then to let you know how everything went. In the meantime, I've got to comment on this stupid counterfeit crap going on. So many stores are refusing to accept large bills. Doesn't insurance cover stuff like that? I mean come on, if the LCBO (which is a government run liqueur store here in Canada) won't accept $100 bills then why are they even printing the money? The damn government is refusing to take it's own legal tender! Throw in the rising cost of gas which is increasing the cost of everything else and the whole country is going to hell! I say we're all screwed and the government is just going to collect their pay as they watch Canada die. I just hope their smart enough to cash those paychecks in small bills, otherwise their as lost as we are.
I could go on all day long, but there's still so much last minute packing that I'll stop now. Feel free to comment, I'll reply when I get back.
That's it, see you all on the 26th!
'til then, kepp reading!

Walking with old friends on Memory lane!

Another week and there's still not much to talk about folks. The weekend was great, even if it was a little too hot (read as record breaking high temperatures) up here in Canada. Still, you won't catch me complaining about it, I'd rather have 108 F (Around 34 for you fellow Canadians) than to have even a cm of snow on the ground.

Let's see now, I guess Facebook is still a big thing for me, I found out this weekend that an old friend from high school is a very successful author, you've probably heard of her, Michelle Rowen. Of course, Rowen was not her name back then, I think it's a pen name. It's amazing the people you run in to on that darn website. Michelle had a knack for the dramatic, which made her so fun to be around. I remember this one time, I may have said something to offend her...okay, I totally did, but then out of the blue she just stabs me with a pencil! I wasn't hurt of course, thanks to a denim jacket ;) Hmmm, reading that over, it sounds kind of bad, but it wasn't, we all had a big laugh and the day carried on as usual. I remember it fondly, just as I remember Michelle. Check out her website at http://www.michellerowen.com/

Another friend, Shawn Bentley has an album being released in August, Johnny Deerest(as in John Deere) is the name of the group. I'm looking forward to it because Shawn was always so talented back then. He has a website, but hasn't actually done anything with it yet, still if you like to watch birds circle overhead, check it out and bookmark it, because it will be good once he gets his butt in gear. http://johnnydeerest.com/

Speaking of getting off of one's butt, I suppose I should get around to making a website. I'm not sure if I want to though, I enjoy this blog much more than I would my own website. Less work really, all I have to do is spout off about whatever is on my mind.

It's been an enjoyable walk down memory lane, if you haven't tried Facebook yet, I highly recommend it. Especially if you knew me in the past, I want to hear from all the people I've lost touch with, you know who you are!
