I guess the most important part to take away from this is to give people around you hope however you can. Humans are a social species and if no one cares about how we feel, then we've already failed as a species. That is why I share all this stuff with every single one of you. If I can give even one person hope and improve their day, then I consider that a success.

Crucible: The Crowning
I cannot state how much I love to write. It is the one thing in life that gives me real enjoyment from doing it. Sure, I have tried to have a couple of relationships, but they broke down because the other person did not have the drive and determination to make it work that I did. I use that same drive and determination to progress my books each and every day that I get out of bed.
Crow: I Swear I Had A Word Limit
The word count for this week tells the entire story of my work for today. I don't understand what tempted me to write so much, but it felt good to get it all out. I think I got so caught up in the drama that I didn't care about sticking to my plan. I see it as a good thing as opposed to a bad thing. I didn't raise the bar for next week, but I did afford myself a lot of new material to build off of.
Ascension: Hitting the Ground Running
After a well-deserved break and a fantastic Week of Samples, I dove back into my writing this week and felt like I never skipped a beat. The words that came out of me today flowed with elegance and ease and I am glad I decided to take my break. It also helps that I could finally crawl into the right side of the bed last night (literally and figuratively) so I got a really good sleep and woke up more spritely than I have all year.
Reality – Chapter One
The last of my non-published samples for this week comes right from the eclectic novel, Reality. Few people have laid eyes on any part of this novel save for the small samples I put up each week. That is why I hope this excites you.
Eden – The Prologue Chapter
Eden uses a different approach to Novel Writing. Instead of using dedicated chapters for specific events, I chose to use sections to encompass a variety of events, as well as to show where the story really changes. The Prologue is innocent enough and not much happens, but it is a beautiful component of my writing. Enjoy.
Crucible – Chapter One
Crucible is the third in the week of samples, yet it distinguishes itself right off the bat when compared to Ascension or Crow. I do not know what endears me to the open of Crucible, but I find it sets the world and story up with absolute perfection. Enjoy the opening chapter.
Crow – Chapter One & Chapter Two
The second installment of my week of samples comes courtesy of the inimitable Crow. While shorter than the sample of Ascension, the purpose is the same. The two chapters set up the basics of the world and the strange open leaves the reader wanting more. Enjoy 🙂
Ascension – Chapter One: Ambush
As part of my break this week, I promised my audience that I would post a sample from each of my books for their respective days. I start with the first book in my queue, Ascension. The first chapter from it is Ambush and it serves as the entire backdrop to the entire novel. I hope you enjoy.
A Week Of Samples… and Ceremonies.
What should every author do every so often? It is an important thing in everyone's life.
