What an interestingly unique book. It’s written both like a script and a novel, and it works really well. This author has a lot of talent, describing everything in great detail and mastering the art of showing verses telling. I’m amazed at the love that was very much pumped into this story by the gallon.

This book doesn’t mince words. It’s very good at getting to the point—which is a quality I appreciate. There are quite a few characters to keep track of, but it gets easier as you go along.

If you’re looking for something different, definitely pick this one up. You won’t be disappointed.

​What a wonderful and creative, easy-to-follow story about Rupert the Snail. As we learn more about people on the spectrum, we gain more insight to how to approach and understand them. This book does an amazing job at sharing that insight and understanding. The illustrations are cute and engaging. It’s wonderful all around.

Here is the cover reveal for the sequel to When Dead Men Bleed, When Dead Men Breathe! It's honestly one of my favorite covers I've ever made. Preorder it for 0.99¢ today. Price goes up to $2.99 after publication. 

​What a wonderful story. It's really cool seeing how people in other countries live, and how different it is from the US. I've never been outside America's borders, so it's really amazing to learn about Ukraine and Russia and the people that live there.

John and Irina wade through so much to reach a happy ending. It was a little slow to start, but I finally found myself invested in these characters, and I'm so glad I kept reading. It's funny how things will fight to keep us from happiness, but it's the ones that persevere and keep fighting for what they want, love, and believe that truly overcomes those obstacles.

This is that kind of book.

Pick it up and read it. You won't be disappointed.

It’s been a while since I’ve done an actual writing update. So… here it is!

The first two books of Underdogs have been published. I’m hoping to finish editing the third before Thursday(God help me), because I get my wisdom teeth taken out. So wish me luck with that.

The third book will be published on June 22, 2023, and you can preorder it now! I want to start taking preorders for the paperbacks, and my online store makes that possible. If you’d like to preorder a paperback or hardcover, pop on over to my shop.

I’ve rewritten the fourth book three times at this point, so I’ll hopefully have that finished soon. The next few books for Underdogs won’t be as quick of a release as the other three, but I still hope you enjoy them. They’ll each be switching to different povs, so the first few books are more about getting inside the character’s minds and learning the worlds they come from. This fourth book, however, might be a bit more on the darker side than the rest, and a tad more mature (in a heavy series of current and past situations way, not a mature-content way). My reference for these books when it comes to what o write about can be described as Animorphs and Goosebumps. I don’t plan on having anything like my books When Dead Men Bleed, The Blood Room, Through the Dimension of Nightmares, or Building Monsters in these books (gore/blood/terrifying).

I plan on charting my growth as a writer with these books, and I want to get better each time I write an Underdogs book. So I hope you enjoy.

In other news, When Dead Men Breathe will be released in October. I will be editing that while finishing the third book in the Dead Men Series. I also plan for a prequel trilogy for Dead Men, but that won’t happen for a while, as I want to finish everything I’ve started beforehand.

If you recall, Go was finished not too long ago, the second to Stop. I’ve been thinking about the end of the book non-stop lately, and I think it’s another one of my favorites. I will be editing that soon after WDMB2, and Waterlogged will be edited after that. My goal is to tie up the series I’ve yet to finish (including Replay) before starting anything new. But of course, we’ll see where the tides take me.

Thanks so much for all your support and love. I feel like I’m in a turning point with my books and writing, and I’m so glad to have you on this journey with me. So thank you.

Book 2 in the Underdogs Series has been released! Get it here. 

In an era where Earth has become a distant painful memory, the descendants of those fortunate to have fled had taken with them more than just their lives memories and pain, war followed them. For the tragedy of Earth was but the first chapter in an ongoing struggle for dominance over the minds of Humanity. Mining bases have gone dark, squadrons of warships carry out wargames while the droning masses are fed a copious diet of propaganda. Beings beyond imagining, some pawns in this great game, are waiting for the coming collapse. As pieces move into place, whisper turns to rumor as thoughts become reality, zero hour approaches. In the chaos and mass confusion the Jupiter Sector orders the thawing of a young woman from stasis. It is her first day awake since the war. It is the year 2412, and nothing will be the same, again.

I absolutely loved each of these haikus. The way they tell a story, the way they made me feel… can’t compare. Some made me laugh, others made me excited. Never was I bored or disconnected. I loved this. Definitely a favorite for this year!

​Author and poet Michael Mortenson takes us on a dazzling journey through the history and elements of the science fiction genre. Pushing the boundaries of classical haiku, the collection takes on topics like the space race, superheroes, kaiju films, and space opera. The collection contains over 175 pages of haiku and micro-essays.

Mortenson won the 2022 LDSPMA award for Best Emerging Poet for his pre-publication manuscript of The Sci-Fi Haiku: Epoch 1.

This is short, sweet, to the point, and filled with information and the meanings behind God’s word. The prodigal son is often talked about, or so it seems to me, and each time I hear about him, I seem to learn something new. God loves us and never stops. He will never leave nor forsake us, and that’s something we must remember. He’s waiting for us with open arms, even if we walk away, even if we’re gone for so long we think He’s forgotten about us. But He hasn’t, because He loves us. We are precious to him. This short book is a wonderful one to read. It could be life changing for some, and for others, a needed reminder. Five stars, absolutely.

This is a cute little story with both stunning and cool images. It’s quick and easy to follow, and extremely creative. No wonder this book quickly rose in the rankings and became a best seller. This book had me grinning and chuckling to myself, and I love the themes of friendship and trust that was explored throughout the tale. I enjoyed every moment!

If you are looking to experience substantial growth in your small business, The 400-Hour Workweek is the perfect book for you. Each chapter and section of Vasilijevic's 400-hour workweek includes helpful links and tools to use, as well as ways to get in contact with him, allowing you to reap the life-altering benefits this book has to offer.

This book is a breath of fresh air compared to the other books in its genre, outlining specific steps to optimize time management. It cuts out the fat and gets right to the meat, helping provide the necessary structure to ensure success in business.

As I studied this book, I utilized the strategies and advice presented and began to apply them to my life. If I’m doing things that don’t help me or my business grow, then I should cut it out (but I shouldn’t forget to let myself unwind sometimes). The work you put in to something won’t always give you the outcome you desire—unless you’re working on the right things AND doing them right. This is definitely one of those books I’ll keep close at hand to reference back to when I’m feeling stuck or like I might be misplacing my time. I highly recommend and very much enjoyed this one.

“My life, as is common in most people’s, can be summed up as a series of defeats. But you don’t need many victories to turn it around and shift the balance in your favor.”
