The Ramblings of the Titanium Don

The coming new year often brings with it reflections on the year that has been. It is important to acknowledge what has been. Denying the past leads to incredibly dangerous places sometimes, so it is good to be mindful of it. The other danger is living in the past. Because change can be so scary, there are many people who want what was. They want what they feel nostalgia for, they want that happier, more innocent time. Truth is, that

Positivity: Action for the New Year

You have the power to take action and change. As the year draws to a close, instead of making a resolution, take an action to change your life. A resolution is merely a thought, and maybe an emotion. I resolve to eat healthier. I resolve to go to the gym regularly. I resolve to put more money into savings. Resolution is thought and the feeling it will bring about. Resolution is a step in the right direction, but it lacks

New year, new book. Finder – The Source Chronicles Book II

Seeker – The Source Chronicles Book I was published by my Argent Hedgehog Press.  I know a lot of people enjoyed the book, and have been patiently waiting for it’s sequel. The time has come – Finder – The Source Chronicles Book II is nearly here!  I will be publishing Finder next weekend.  You can start off your new year with a good new read. From the back cover: Five thousand years ago, a comet was on a collision course

Discipline for me does not come easily. I have always had issues with self discipline. Whether it is my diet, my writing and editing time or anything else requiring focus and attention – I have regularly found it challenging to hold to what needs to happen to get where I want to go. This week I will share with you my plans, and work out with you what actions I need to take in order to create the discipline I

Positivity: You Are Amazing

Who you are is pretty amazing. It does not matter what job you have or what categories you place yourself into – you are amazing. Geek, jock, nerd, Gen-Xer, Millenial, man, woman, gay, straight, bi, trans, black, white, tall, short, fat, thin, American, Asian, Christian, Muslim…doesn’t matter, you are amazing. We live on a planet with a rich diversity of ideas, of cultures, of traditions. We can communicate instantly across the globe with little or no effort. We can experience

Discipline for some does not come easily. I have always had issues with disciplining myself. Whether it was my diet, my writing and editing time or anything else requiring focus and attention – I have regularly found it challenging to hold to what needs to happen to get where I want to go. I have made a lot of effort in this department to address this problem. Acknowledging my lack of discipline is the first step, but admittedly there have

Positivity: Anticipation

Anticipation can be exciting. I am, for those of you who don’t know me, a huge fan of the Star Wars universe. This week Episode VII will be released. I cannot begin to express just how excited I am to be seeing this movie in a few days! The anticipation is nearly tangible. I feel positive, I feel excited, I feel a sense of joy akin to some of my best childhood memories. No matter what the thing that causes

Finder: The Source Chronicles Book II – Coming soon!

Despite my best efforts, the release of Finder: The Source Chronicles Book II has been slightly delayed. There is a very good reason for this delay. My editor took longer than expected with his edits, and I have to go through them before I release my work into the wild. My goal is to offer a quality product to you, my dear readers. I don’t want to under or over-estimate how much time I will need, but I do hope

Sometimes you might be wrong. Every choice we make will produce an effect of some sort. While we desire a good effect or a successful outcome – from time to time we won’t get it. This is a perfectly normal and ok thing. Everybody makes mistakes. The key is what do you do with your mistakes? Some people plod through. They continue along that path, despite its obvious problems. Tenacity can be a good thing, but it can also be

Positivity: Little Things

Little things matter. When the big picture is scary and undesirable, it is easy to neglect the small stuff, the little things in life that make it what it is. Some of these things are tangible, some are not. The importance of them is of a magnitude we easily forget and do not recognize the significance of. Why do little things matter? Because the big things do not evolve out of a vacuum. They begin as little things and grow.
