I find that real-world photography can be just as inspirational to my imagination for crafting story settings as any piece of fantastic artwork that I might share on a Tuesday. I present...

Throwback Thursday: The North Watch by Keith Parkinson
This classic artwork by Keith Parkinson graced the cover of Dragon Magazine #137, which arrived in my mailbox (and fourteen-year-old hands) way back in September of 1988. His vision in this piece really sticks with me. In many a cold Maine winter, like the one outside my window right now... I'm still glancing over my... Continue Reading →
WIP-it Wednesday: December 28th, 2016
Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! Ah, the last week of the year. That weird bridge between the Christmas and New Year’s holidays usually built with equal parts fatigued lethargy and retrospective. Although I am writing a retrospective for the year to be posted on Saturday,... Continue Reading →

This stuff inspires me, and is a great companion as I write away on an exiting piece of fiction. Therefore, on Mondays I share a new piece by various... Continue Reading →

Throwback Thursday: Loreena McKennitt – God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
From Loreena McKennitt's 1995 album "A Winter Garden", available for listening in full here. This is my hands down favorite version of this carol. The whole album, while short, is excellent in my opinion. It's been in my collection since its year of release, when I got it as a free sample over a hard,... Continue Reading →
