New Podcast Episode – Amateur or Professional

Posted on 2020-11-13 by RB

As creators, we all dream of being considered professionals. But where is the line that separates the two? Is it definite or arbitrary? Or are these just labels that don’t mean anything?

Setting the Spooky Mood

Posted on 2020-10-28 by RB

With Halloween just around the corner, I thought it’d be a good time to recommend a couple of things to get you in the mood. First, you can grab a copy of my dark fiction collection, Dark Journeys. It’s a mix of horror, sci-fi, and speculative fiction. Perfect for reading alone in a darkened room…
