Halloween Special Q&A!!

Happy Halloween!

In this wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey episode, I return from a French party, answer questions about books and writing, and discover strange markings all over my face and arms D:

How I found some of my favorite books!

Here's my second video (with a surprise at the beginning)! How did  YOU find some of the books you're reading?

My First Actual Video As An Author!!!

This is my introduction video to kinda show who I am and whatnot! Feel free to leave comments and questions that I can answer in later videos! I want to make writing/editing videos, videos about books I'm reading, and kind of introduce you guys to my life as an author.

Big Announcement! Author Panel at Barnes & Noble!

Check it out!

I'm officially listed on a real Barnes & Noble event poster! (right-hand column, second down) So excited for this! If you live near Pittsburgh, come out to the Homestead Waterfront B&N for the author panel I'm a part of on Saturday, October 8th, at 11 am!

We'll discuss our books, the writing process, and take questions from the audience! And, of course, you'll be able to purchase signed copies of my futuristic sci-fi books, Embassy and Resonance!

See you out there!

September 6th Update

I have exciting news coming this week. Stay tuned!!

Book 3 Writing Update!

I'm well underway writing Book 3 of the Recovery Series! Hit 30,000 words a couple days ago, so it's about 2/5 completed, with a projected final word count of 80-90,000 words.

I'm planning for there to be 7 books in the main series, or 8, if you include the prequel, We Cannot Be Content, which is essentially the story of how and why humans left Earth for good.

If you're wondering, yes, I do have a title and cover for Book 3.

Keep posted! I expect to release Book 3 in Fall 2017!

My Writing Schedule through 2020

As I near the end of my college career (hopefully....come on, French, don't fail me now), I'm looking ahead to my plans for the next several years, outside of getting a job in science writing for the general public, and my super secret plans regarding a water harvesting machine that I concocted and purchased all the materials for....aaaaaand then never built.

That's a project for post-graduation, too.

I have a lot of books in the works, all associated with my current series, Recovery, of which Embassy and Resonance (seen on the right sidebar of this page) are the first two books. You have a lot to look forward to, because I've got three books directly related to the series planned, and one travel guide in the vein of my other website, Experience Daliona (which you can find at the top of this page).

So here's what the calendar looks like!

2016: the Daliona Travel Guide should be released Summer 2016. It will be a heavily-expanded-upon version of the website.

2017: Book 3 of the Recovery Series, continuing from Resonance. Aiming for late-Spring, but will likely need to hold off to the Fall.

2018: The Fires of the Spring will be a novella. Aiming for Spring 2018.

2019-2020: We Cannot Be Content will be a lengthy "origin story" of the Embassy Universe. It opens on October 24, 2312, and its themes will reflect the current atmosphere/debates of space exploration in the political, general public, and scientific spheres. This is the story of Benedict Drake (mentioned in Resonance) and why/how some part of humanity left Earth for good.

-------------------------------------

It's going to be a busy four years! There's a lot to look forward to, and we should all be excited to see where real-life space exploration goes in the next decade!
