Revisions Update and a Look at 2010
Hi folks,
In December, I focused on the revisions for ARGENTUM through a December Writing Marathon that I had come up with. December was an extraordinarily busy month for several reasons, including a few additional projects that I did not expect to come up. Even though I didn’t get as much done as I wanted to, [...]
On Setting Outlines
Hi everyone,
After coming back from GenCon, I had a few other people contact me about licensing the Violet War setting for a potential game. I took a break from revisions and started mapping out this very. big. world.

This weekend I’ll be speaking at WisCon, [...]

In November, I mentioned why I [...]
What “Condemned” Means
In Chapter 7 of Argentum we meet up with an old friend, Captain Hansen and also say “Hello” to the King of Magic whose name might look a little familiar to you. My interpretation of King Mitra is loosely based on the god Mithras, who has an interesting history in Hindu, Persian and Roman history. [...]
