In: The Rising Dawn Saga

I just began writing the 5th book of the Rising Dawn Saga, The Crimson Reign. It has been a little while since the 4th came out, but as I begin this book, I know in my heart that it is the right time for this installment. The first 4 books tell a grand story that includes the efforts of a small group of very wealthy individuals, who control the largest banking and corporate levers, who are working assiduously to establish a global, borderless system of political and economic control. A pandemic involving an ebola-like virus is a big part of this plotline, and their globalRead More →

It goes without saying that 2020 has been a strange and, often crazy year, but as I always say, you have to do all you can to keep moving Onward and Upward. I haven’t had a lot of new updates as the pandemic mess wiped the calendar clean of conventions, book fairs, and all kinds of events that are central of the author world. The good news is that I have been able to maintain a very steady writing schedule, and I recently completed a major project that I think many readers are going to be excited about. I have also made great progress onRead More →

I had it brought to my attention that there were some who felt that I harbored fascist sympathies due to a blog post that I wrote a couple of years ago, involving issues of freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and the noxious crime of pedophilia involving a controversial arrest in the United Kingdom of a highly controversial person named Tommy Robinson,  following his reporting outside the courtroom on a court case involving a large grooming gang (a stage involved in the process of organized pedophilia, a crime among the most abhorrent to me).  The particular grooming gang was affiliated with those of anRead More →
