One of the prizes for my Dragon Pillars giveaway earlier this year was an original set of five character sketches, including the four Pillars and Senka. The original sketches are being sent out as a prize, but I scanned in the arts before sending them off. They are all done in ink. The portraits are…
My most popular graphic novel series is Kappa to Ieba… which is all about Japanese folklore and mythology. It focuses around a “kappa” and his adventures as a “legend hunter.” The title “Kappa to Ieba…” literally means “when speaking of Kappas…” I wanted a playful title for what is mostly a playful series. I won’t…
As someone who writes both comics and novels, this is a topic that comes up a lot. But, just because you can write one does not necessarily mean you will have the same luck with the other. They are very different types of prose, and thus have to be approached differently. Just because comics get…

Happy Memorial Day! I hope everyone gets a chance to celebrate it with their loved ones and take it easy. I’ll be going to a small family cookout myself in a little bit (just like 5 of us), and enjoying the gorgeous weather Chicagoland actually has for a change. Memorial Day has never been a…

All of the elements of the website have been updated! Be sure to check out the new features, and let me know what you think. There’s still some elements I may go back and tweak later on, but it’s all functional and looking sharp. I’ve added a few events that will be held this year,…
It’s fine time the website got a new look, so using this time during the quarantine to do just that. I’ll keep you posted as the changes roll through, but everything is still up and running and should be during the entirety of this long over-due cleanup. Let me know what you think of this…
NaNoWriMo 2018 is finished for me! Reached 50k words today, so submitted it. I was writing The Archive of Sinners: Sloth this year, and even with 50k words, it’s not quite finished yet (is anyone surprised?). I’m going to keep working on it, but not focus on word count anymore. I should have the first…
