The Fantasy - Volume One

It's been really difficult to find time in the middle of all the ongoing editing gigs to find time to write. My head is often overflowing with Other People's Stuff, but I absolutely adore what I do so there's that. But thanks to an ass-kicking from a very dear friend (who kicks HARD!!) I came to realize if I don't make time to write my own stuff, well, it's just not going to get written.

So, I've modified my schedule to include time set aside for my own work. While I work on the sequel to Athena's Promise (titled "Athena's Chains"), I've decided to release four volumes of some of my shorter works. Each volume will include some new fiction, some old fiction, and teasers for "Chains". I'm really happy to announce The Fantasy - Volume One is available now from Amazon, with three more volumes to follow over the next few weeks:

The Funny - Volume Two
The Horror - Volume Three
The Heart - Volume Four

I'm really excited about this. So excited I might have peed a little. Hey, it happens. Don't pretend it's never happened to you.

It's really too easy to get stuck in a rut and tell yourself you don't have time for this or that, whatever your passion might be. The truth is, you have to make time, because it goes by all too fast and then, it's months (or even years!) later and you wonder just exactly where all that time went. I don't want to make that mistake anymore.

Hopefully, after the four volumes are completed and done, "Athena's Chains" will be close to ready, and then I have a few more projects in mind before the last in the Aegian Trilogy, "Athena's Release", is published. I know it's an ambitious goal, but I figure if I shoot for the stars and end up in the mud, at least I tried. Life is too damned short to sit on the sidelines and watch the parade go by. I want to be up front with the big fuzzy hat and the long stick, marching my ass off.

In the meantime, check out The Fantasy and if you like it (or even if you don't!) please leave a review or click the "Like" button. We indies rely on word of mouth since we don't have a monster budget or heavy hitters behind us, so every little bit helps. Tell your family, your friends, your neighbors (but maybe not that creepy guy with the weird glasses) and anyone else you can think of who might love some twisted, slightly disturbing, and quirky-type stories. I'll love you even if you don't, but I'll love you harder if you do :)

Thanks! Updates as they happen.
