It has been nearly seven months since I went on hiatus, and I am sorry to say that I feel no closer to being ready to start back up today than I did on the day I started the break. After trying for months to get back in the mood, I think it’s time to…

Jack’s Snacks Some of you might have noticed my newest experiment: Jack’s Snacks. I was inspired the other day when I read a particularly short story (under 350 words) that managed to actually tell a whole story with enough details to be interesting, but without the usual, large investment in building up to “the point”.…

So, I realized that I hadn’t updated my commission info page on here, even though I did update it on FA and IB. I fixed that, but as I was reviewing my changes, I thought, “Gosh, there’s an annoying amount of wasted space on this page.” Truth be told, it’s been a minor annoyance to…

First, I’m happy to announce that Amazon approved the lasted Jack’s Blacks installment, In the Air Tonight. It can be found here. Synopsis: Roberto has come to Heimville trying to start over after a tragedy. But Heimville has its own problems, and whether he likes it or not, he will be called upon to overcome…

Tl;dr: I’m stopping commissions (except for ongoing commissions) in favor of Jack’s Blacks prompts. If no prompts come, well, I’ve got a number of my own to work on. A week before the start of 2023, I listened to an audiobook that described the difference in intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivators. Without going into great detail,…

Hi, all. Effective immediately, I will not be taking any more commissions. Apologies to those on the waiting list, but after struggling off and on for years with burnout, it’s time I faced the fact that I’m not getting the spark back that I had in 2018. I’m thankful to everybody who’s put their trust…

So, I’m finally posting commissions again, which is a big step up over the last several months. That said, I’ve amassed a bit of a backlog—people who asked me about commissions while I was on hiatus—and I’m trying to work that off. I’ve currently got 5 people left in the queue, so if you’ve talked…

Hey, all. I know, I know…I’ve been really, really derelict in maintaining the site. It’s been a crazy-busy several months, but I’m finally settling down. Well…sort of. Long story. Pull up a chair, and let’s talk about the last few months… Let’s start with work. I forget how long ago now, I got a promotion to…

I know, I know, it’s been a really long time since I’ve posted anything on here. And that’s going to continue—so much going on right now—but I just downgraded my plan from the premium plan, so some things might not work that used to work. If anybody notices anything like that, please shoot me a…

So, I’ve been working on a little side-project quietly for the last few months. I commissioned Brush Fire to do a book cover for Human-Centaur Relations. I got the proof yesterday from Amazon, and it is now live! You can find it here: Human-Centaur Relations on Amazon In other news, I just got back from Furry…

Hey, all. I’ve been giving it a lot of thought, and I’ve finally decided to bite the bullet and set up a Patreon site! You can find it here. I’ll be delaying posting to here, FA, and IB so that supporters can have early access, but rest assured, all posts will still end up here eventually…

Well, I’ve been a lazy bum long enough, and it’s time to get busy again. I’ve posted some changes to my FA page regarding how I’m going to handle commissions going forward. For those not on FA, here’s a brief summary: I’m going to be more selective in the commissions I take and will only take 3–5…

Today is the first sort-of day of my hiatus. There is still technically one commission I’m supposed to do, but the client isn’t responding. So, I’m calling it “sort-of hiatus.” It’s been an interesting start: Ebony got an eye inflammation, so I had the vet come out. It’s just as well—the herd was going to…

Hi, all. I know I haven’t posted on here in a long time, and I’m hoping to get better about that. The good news is, I’m down to five remaining commissions, and then I’ll be done. On that note, my commissions are currently closed. After having about a dozen of them hanging over my head…

It’s taken me months to get around to it, but I finally bit the bullet and commissioned a cover for Shane and Colton. I got it today, and I’ve uploaded it to Amazon, proofed the book, set a price, and pushed Publish. Now I’m just waiting on Amazon to review it, and then I’ll be able…
-
Well, I’ve got the Shane and Colton short story (maybe one of several over the next while) finished, and I’m about to publish it. I want to say before I do, though, that while I do some editing as I go, I have not gone through and re-read the story for consistency, grammar, etc. There may…
-
Just a quick note to say that I had planned to release a Shane and Colton chapter today, but I’ve had…distractions…and it’s taking longer than expected. I had thought to just publish it when I came to a stopping point, but to borrow the term from software development, I feel that the stories should be atomic—self-contained and occurring…
-
Off to my ex’s. And this is where I leave you. You should know the rest… Shane and Colton soon. Burgers, beer, and flying wolves. Shane can’t catch a break. I’m considering Fifty-cent haikus for all. Would people pay it?

Okay, a bit of stream-of-consciousness follows… It’ll explain it all at the end. As I’ve mentioned in at least one post now, I self-published a couple of books on Amazon. They’re adult-themed; you have been warned. Most of my writing is adult-themed. I should check and see what the guidelines are on here; we’ll see…
