Lord of the Rings Adventure Book Game by Ravensburger – A Review
My wife and I play a lot of boardgames. I think it started with me teaching her Cribbage, a staple in the Midwest. After a while, we got tired of beating each other into submission in competitive games, so we opted to find something where we had to work together. Our first cooperative boardgame was… Continue reading

Questions and Hopefully Answers
So, the book has been out about a month now (and if you didn’t know this, I’ll link it at the bottom), and I’ve already had several people ask me questions about it and the process. As promised early in my campaign to release these books, I said this website would be a platform for… Continue reading

A Quick Update
For anyone who “cracked the code” of my last post, I was trying to get I-I: Departure out before the new year, but life is life is life and that was something made impossible. I won’t go into the details, just know that my computer, with all of my work and images for the book,… Continue reading

Absent, but for a good reason
Apologies for the long absence. I assure you, it’s for many good reasons, one of which being working for the holidays. If you hadn’t noticed, it’s expensive to live, and my meager 80% disability rating from the VA hasn’t been cutting it in terms of merely existing (that is, I use that money to pay… Continue reading

No one knows more about presidents than… Continue reading

A Violent End to a Vitriolic Mouthpiece
Back in June, two Minnesota legislators were assassinated in their homes (State Reps Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark) and two more were brutally injured. Here was Dear Leader Trump’s response: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-call-walz-after-minnesota-shootings-calls-grossly/story?id=122870353 Instead of showing any sort of sympathy for the loss of life, he made fun of Tim Walz and called him a whacko.… Continue reading

Fun With “The Bible” Part I
I’m thinking of making a regular segment in my blog that revolves around the hypocrisy of the Bible and those who claim to follow it. If you think about it, Christians and other religious parishioners, are about the most biblically corrupt bunch to ever walk this earth. I grew up in a Lutheran household. Lutheranism… Continue reading

I Hate This Timeline
There’s a lot of shit going down in the world that have accumulated in the last few weeks, and it takes a heavy toll on my sanity and the well-being of the people involved. Israel and Iran seem to be in full-on World War III mode, launching ballistic missile attacks at each other like it’s… Continue reading

I Dare Someone – Nay, I DEFY Someone – to Hire Me
I’ve been on the hunt for a job for a while now. As is the requirement when socializing, people always ask, “So, what do you do?” And as someone who hasn’t had a steady job for a couple years now (my last job was working 12 hour shifts for a company that manufactures ceramic components… Continue reading
About Me
Armed Forces Veteran. Writer. Father of several demon-child rescue animals. Milwaukee Brewers fan. Loather of the human condition.
I was born and raised in the wintry lands of Wisconsin (Milwaukee, West Bend, Oconomowoc), but spent 15 years in the service of the United States Air Force, deploying and living in many other regions of the country and world.
The first time someone told me I was a “hell of a writer” was when I was a young Senior Airman in the Air Force and got in trouble for writing a blog on MySpace about the “miserable people of the ### Squadron. I wrote it like a late night infomercial with testimonials that ranged from hilarious to disgusting. I was very nearly demoted for the work and forced to remove it from the site.
After that, I started writing satire news articles like one might find on The Onion. I typed them out and distributed them to coworkers like a weekly newsletter. Some of those articles are posted here.
Eventually, I moved from satire to Science Fiction and Fantasy, and have written four [as of yet unpublished] books in what I hope to be a long-standing series inspired heavily by Stephen King’s “The Dark Tower” saga.
I currently live in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
