I must apologize for the lack of content. My efforts are being directed toward my novel, The Princess of Aenya, about which I am feeling very positive. With each new book (PoA is my fourth), the writing process becomes less laborious, so I can focus more on story and character. To commemorate the start of this... Continue Reading →
Riding the Donkey Carriage
Are you guilty of this? A new literary term is needed. It's something we're all guilty of, but are rarely willing to admit to. We'll make excuses or get all defensive about it, because it makes us look like lazy, illiterate zombies watching Walking Dead. I am guilty of it myself, despite my dedication to...

Dear Editor: A Query for ‘Ages of Aenya’
Dear Editor, Ages of Aenya is ‘Naked and Afraid’ meets Homer meets Robert Heinlein, and the first in the fantasy genre to explore environmentalist themes from a true naturist’s perspective at c. 170,000 words. The back flap might go something like this: Discover a world shaped by cataclysm, with two moons and one Sea, where night... Continue Reading →
ANNOUNCING: The Princess of Aenya
After 14 years, I am ready to work on something entirely new. Although my current novel, Ages of Aenya, was started in 2006 and written from scratch, the characters and the basic outline originated from The Dark Age of Enya. As you can imagine, fourteen years is a terribly long time to wait for a... Continue Reading →
Naked (but not Afraid)
After seeing the new show on Discovery Channel, Naked and Afraid, I knew I had to chime in and soon. After all, it's about a man and a woman trying to survive in the wilderness, without a stitch of clothing! Sounds too much like my novel, and heroes, Xandr and Thelana, for me to pass...

Naturism in Modern Greek Culture
What's happened to Greek culture? In terms of nudity, it's becoming increasingly American. I remember being on the island of Skiathos and seeing nothing but a sea of bare breasts. At the time, it was disconcerting. I was seven and didn't care to see naked girls. I also remember the little corner street shops... Continue Reading →
Leaving on a jet plane . . .
Unfortunately, I don't have much time to write this post. This is me in 5 minutes. Even as I type, I should be packing and making hotel reservations. Still, I can't resist leaving a few words for my fans and friends. I am going to Morocco and Greece for the summer. This will be a... Continue Reading →
Quest for the Talismans: Story Spaces
UPDATED: 10/08/2015 I'm a bit torn here. My RPG board game is immensely popular with whoever plays it. On more than one occasion people have told me, "You need to market this!" But I haven't even a clue how to market a board game and with the countless other board games already selling in comic... Continue Reading →
Quest for the Talismans: Monsters!
I love monsters! What's a great role playing board game without monsters? And the more the merrier! My fondest memories from the early days of D&D is how much I loved my Monster Manual; it was a dusty old book from the seventies given to me by a cook at my father's restaurant. The brittle,...

Quest for the Talismans: Characters!
Want to be a pirate? A ninja? A princess? How about a pirate ninja princess? It doesn't really matter. Anything you can imagine, you can be. Anything you can think of, you can do. This is what I love about tabletop gaming. You don't have to worry about developers (you are the developer!) or copyright... Continue Reading →
