It wasn’t until after the contract was signed and the book was less than a month from publication that the name was changed from Dragon to Balaur. This was the last significant change to the book that constitutedContinue reading “Backstory and lore of the Balaur”

Blog post Number 15 Written:05-30-2021 Uploaded 04-29-2022 I know I am bad at math, but bear with me, I have actually done some of the astrodynamic calculations for my books, but really only the second book with… we’ll you’ll see. Anyway, I was trying to figure out orbital velocity, because I needed to know howContinue reading “Math for Ship Orbits”

Blog Post Number 14 Written 05-28-2021 Posted 04-22-2022 I’ve got a couple of high school friends, one of which is the owner/driver of an off-road racing team that participates in the Ultra4 league, another of which also serves as the marketing and media coordinator for the team. I like to think of myself as pitContinue reading “The King of Hammers”

Blog Post Number 13 Written: 05-27-2021 Uploaded: 04-16-2022 Like most self proclaimed nerds, I play video games. I started seriously playing when Halo 2 was released.

Blog post Number 12 Written: 05-26-2021 Uploaded 04-11-2022 Note: I’m sorry I missed my regular upload date last Friday, I had some vehicle trouble and that messed up the whole weekend and I just never got around to it. So here it is, Monday, and I’m finally copy pasting my word doc. Also, notice theContinue reading “Lore Timeline”

Blog Post Number 11 Written 05-25-2021 Uploaded: 04-01-2022 I have learned a bunch, lots of self-taught skills since the book publishing process started. I came from a small town, living under a rock. I liked it that way, maybe I still prefer it that way in some regards.  As I was writing, I learned howContinue reading “Things I have learned”

Blog Post Number 10 Written: 05-24-2021 Uploaded:03-28-2022 (Sorry this wasn’t uploaded on 03-25-2022 Like it should have been, life happens.)

Blog Post Number 9 Written: 05-23-2021 Uploaded” 03-19-2022 To be clear, this is not my idea, this is a real scientific theory, developed by serious people with far more qualifications than me, and has nothing to do with the halo franchise of video games and novels. This is a real-world proposal for interstellar travel. AsContinue reading “The Halo Drive”

Blog Post Number 7 Written:05-22-2021 Uploaded: 03-06-2022 I don’t know if it’s true for all people or just for me, but at least in my case, I was taught that fan fiction didn’t count, that it wasn’t real writing, or real storytelling, or that it would lead to nothing but bad grammar, strange character relationshipsContinue reading “The Significance of Fan fiction”
