Coming soon: Finder – The Source Chronicles Book II

A year ago I decided that I had waited long enough; it was time to publish my fantasy series. Seeker – The Source Chronicles Book I was begun in 1998. After several reworks and a professional editor, I tried to find representation for many many years. Welcome to the 21st century. I determined it was time to self-publish. Thus I created Argent Hedgehog Press, and I formatted the book and Seeker was released into the wild. The Source Chronicles began

My writing – Seeker

Coming Thursday to an Amazon dot com near you: I am proud to announce the forthcoming release of the first book of The Source Chronicles – Seeker. Five thousand years ago, a comet was on a collision course with t’Thera. To stop it from destroying life across the planet, all of the wizards and fully realized sorcerers and sorceresses combined their power to arrest its descent, destroying themselves in the process. With their passing, no wizards would rise again, and

My writing – Website support

Sourcechronicles dot com was the first domain I ever purchased. I had no idea what to do with it, but when I determined that the name of my novel series would be The Source Chronicles, I decided I needed to own the domain (domains, actually. I acquired both sourcechronicles and thesourcechronicles dot com). For a long time, I had nothing there. I parked the domain, and let it be. I had taken a basic HTML class years ago, but I

My writing

I started to write fantasy and sci-fi when I was nine years old. My first completed work was 50 pages, illustrated sci-fi. I still have the original and a color copy around here somewhere. I have numerous other projects that have been started, some finished, some not. These span across elementary school, middle school, high school, college and beyond. I have been an active writer for over 30 years. I have written a vast amount of fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, Steampunk,

Individuality and sameness

Humans are unique to this world in so very many ways.  The manner in which we live our lives, the technologies we build, the means by which we communicate is vastly different from the rest of the animals on planet Earth. We are also unique in the ways we differentiate ourselves from one another.  Skin color, religion, nationality, political stance, gender…in our quest for individuality, we identify ourselves in increasingly divisive ways.  Yet we all strive to find common ground. 

Do not let them win

Do not let them win. Who are they?  They are the people who are against us.  They are the people who are working all the time to do whatever they can to change how we live, and more – to have us live in fear. This is not just about the horrid people who would set off bombs in public and murder innocents.  This is about the world in which we live, and our increasing willingness to sacrifice how we

Words of Encouragement for EVERYONE

You are pretty amazing. It doesn’t matter what anyone else tells you – you are pretty amazing! You know that thing you do, that only you can do so well – keep doing it! I don’t know you.  And with some exceptions, you probably don’t know me, either.  But that doesn’t make this statement any less true.  You are pretty amazing. We all need words of encouragement along the way.  Everybody has bad days.  Everyone gets brought down because of

Being FOR the things you want in the world

Be FOR, not AGAINST, the things you want. I have observed that in the United States, we always seem to be on the defensive against things.  We are against drugs, against guns, against drunk driving, against hunger, against war, against against against. Why is this important?  Because consciousness creates reality.  Ergo, what you focus on is what you get. What does “against” mean, anyhow?  Dictionary.com defines it thus: a·gainst [uh-genst, uh-geynst]  (preposition) 1. in opposition to; contrary to; adverse or
