    About this ebook

    Humans think he's a freak, he just wants answers about his past... but answers are hard to find in a world that's slowly drifting into chaos.

    As a child, Veric saw his parents burned alive by dragonfire. All they left him is a mysterious box with a broken symbol.

    Over twenty years later, he still doesn't know what's inside the box.

    To understand his heritage, he must retrieve a magic orb that is buried deep under the mountain. There are many obstacles on the way: a storm, hungry orcs, visions, a lunatic centaur... but, most of all, he is forced to face his greatest fear, at the peril of his own life.

    "Of Dragon Bones and Ashen Tears" is the first episode in a 12-part high fantasy series that veers progressively into epic. Though it starts gentle, it grows in complexity and becomes darker with each new installment.

    "These short novellas are well written, heart pounding, vividly imaginative and a no-brainer must read. I'm totally hooked." -- Goodreads reviewer.

      The Nothing Time: Writing and Reading Through Injury

      It’s strange, as a writer, disorienting, to have moments, no matter how brief, unavailable to me. Did I slip? Stumble? Push myself off the rocks? Twist? Flail? Leap? Scream? Cry out? The post The Nothing Time: Writing and Reading Through Injury appea

      My wife, Gin, once knocked gently on my head, as if it were a door. “Hello,” she kept saying. “Hello. Who’s in there?” She and our therapist, Dr. Sherby, laughed a little about this, so I did, too. What fun. Keep knocking on my head like that, like i

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when
