The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Some challenges are better than others. As I have mentioned before, the reason why this blog is called The Ramblings of a Titanium Don is due to two reasons. A title I get to assume from the Society for Creative Anachronism (the medieval re-enactment society I’ve been a part of for over 25 years); and the three titanium plates holding together my right clavicle. In case you missed this: On the last day of November, 1999, I was struck by
Writing is my passion. While my favorite things to write are fantasy, sci-fi and Steampunk, I enjoy writing EVERYTHING. Give me a topic, tell me how many words you want and I will write! I totally need and want more paid writing gigs. But I digress. Over the years I’ve written brochures, blogs, text for websites and many other business-centric pieces. For a time I even had my own company for this purpose, though its focus was a bit broader.
I am absolutely delighted to announce that my Steampunk novel is available for purchase! Clouds of Authority – A Vapor Rogues Novel can be acquired for your Kindle or in paperback. I am really excited about this series. While it is primarily Steampunk, I have also worked in elements of sci-fi, Cyberpunk and even fantasy. This weekend I will be attending the Steampunk Worlds Fair. On Sunday , May 15, I will be reading a selection from the novel at
I am very excited about my newest book! The first novel of my Steampunk series, called The Vapor Rogues, will be coming out in the next few days. I am particularly excited about this series, because it is, I believe, a rather unique entity. Back in 2012 I was given my second opportunity to have a short story published. Like the first that was published in the anthology Rum and Runestones, the topic was pirates and magic. Since I was
I am in the process of editing my next full-length novel. This is a follow up to the 2nd short story I wrote that was published in the anthology Spells and Swashbucklers. The Vapor Rogues is my Steampunk/Fantasy story, for which I built a really detailed world. The world I created was so rich that I felt the need to expand upon it. As such, I have completed a first novel for a Steampunk series. Clouds of Authority – A
I have an idea. What would happen if we decided to think before we speak more frequently? Further, this being the 21st century and all, what if we decided to think before we post? Why? To change the discourse of our society for the better. All too often we are inundated with anger, with hate, with negativity. What’s more, we tend to spread it out further by talking about these terrible things and posting about them online. What if instead
How do I draw in more readers? I have now published four books. It began with the first year’s worth of Pathwalking, including some extra bits (which largely came from this blog). The second was Seeker: The Source Chronicles Book I. First in the fantasy series I’ve been working on now since 1998. Due to the nature of the story I targeted it not just to lovers of Fantasy, but to young adults. It is certainly no more violent than
Seeker – The Source Chronicles Book I was published by my Argent Hedgehog Press in November of 2014. It is my pleasure to announce – Finder – The Source Chronicles Book II is here! The sequel to Seeker is live for purchase. 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
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
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
