Welcome back, everyone! It’s past time for an update. I have three projects I’m working on now. I have 450 pages written on Intrepid Force III, but I had problems with it and took a break from it. I’m starting back now. It doesn’t really Read More …
July 2018 Studio Update
Greetings, Friends, I haven’t posted much in these past few weeks because I’ve been focusing my writing energies on Intrepid Force III. I got up to around 80,000 words and 300 pages earlier in the summer. Since then, I’ve had to take things out and Read More …

Invasion: Titan and Me
It was January 14, 2004, and I was doing final edits on Intrepid Force: Invasion when the Huygens module dropped through the cold, cloudy atmosphere of Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. On my way home from Orlando, I bought a newspaper and pulled over at a Read More …
