Not much to say these days about my creative projects as I haven’t finished as much in February as I had planned, but I’m doing a monthly post to update my progress and check in with my goals anyway. This last December, January and February were slow creatively. I have gotten a very slow start […]
Patreon launched to showcase my short fiction
After lots of internal debate, I finally decided to take the plunge and sign up for a Patreon. I didn’t know if I wanted to do it because I didn’t know if I could meet the content demands, but I’m starting small and experimenting. I plan to offer one short story per month to my […]
Book Review: “A Memory Called Empire” by Arkady Martine
“A Memory Called Empire” by Arkady Martine, last year’s Hugo winner, is well worth its regard. It is the first book of the Teixcalalaan series, a cyberpunk and space opera universe inspired by many cultures, including the Byzantines, the Romans and the Aztecs. The second book comes out in a few months. The book follows […]
January Wrap-Up and Looking at a New Month
Been neglecting my blog a bit so I figured it was time for a new post. I’ve mostly been focusing on reviews. I decided to change up my review plans this year a bit. I will blog all my reviews, even the negative ones, but I am going to write shorter reviews. If I stick […]

Book Review: Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse, and Book Review Plan for the Year
I received a stack of four library books this last week delivered to my door by my local library, so I’ll review my favorites in the next couple of weeks if I am able to get to them all. And that brings me to a point I wanted to make about book reviews in my […]
Short Fiction: Miranda, by Denise Ruttan
I wrote this story in January of this year for a science fiction writing class at my local community college. It marked the end of a long period of writer’s block. It’s fun looking back to see how much my writing has changed this past year. “Miranda” Story and Photograph By Denise Ruttan 3,907 words […]
Book Review: A History of What Comes Next by Sylvain Neuvel
I received the book “A History of What Comes Next” by Sylvain Neuvel (expected publication date of February 2, 2021, from Tor) as an e-ARC for an honest review from Netgalley. First of all, I will try my very best not to review this book with SPOILERS because very few people have read it so […]
Book Review: Ghost River by Chad Ryan
I received “Ghost River” by Chad Ryan, published by Lost Boys Press, as an e-ARC, an advance review copy, in exchange for an honest review. It took me a little time to read and this book is now available as a new release, but it’s definitely the kind of book that you want to take […]
Photography portfolio updated
I updated my photography page of my website with new photos to reflect my new direction. I enjoyed all my experiences working with people but since I’m not shooting portraits anymore, I decided I needed a more accurate reflection of my current scope. I am focusing on nature and still life, and I love it. […]
