Thanks to everyone for all the support you've given me over the past year here on the blog, on Facebook, … Continue reading Pre-orders Now Open

To J.M. or not to J.M.?
Dear Friends and Followers, I have a quick question. As I wrap up the formatting for my Adventures of Iric collection, I've been reconsidering the way I write my name. These second thoughts (read: doubts) came to me when I received the cover for the book (done by the wonderful E. Rachael Hardcastle). You see, … Continue reading To J.M. or not to J.M.?
Some Details About Me Posted Elsewhere
Some comments I wrote on my relationship with writing were posted by fellow blogger Richie Billing. My blurb is accompanied by that of another writer named Paul Freeman, who I had not heard about before now.

A Dog Named Trouble – What Pegman Saw

Beggars Would Ride (Flash Fiction)
In honor of my story being published in The Uprising Review, I decided to write another flash story featuring the same characters. This one was inspired by the unwanted thoughts of horses I had all day, after hearing a particularly funny line in Unseen Academicals, the book I am currently audio-reading.

It’s Been a While
I just spent some five hours revising a short story. I got a rejection with a rewrite offer from a publisher a couple months back, so of course I was going to heed their feedback and resubmit. I just spent five hours writing and revising. Last night I had a muse, took a bunch of … Continue reading It’s Been a While
