THE UPRISING: BOOK III OF THE UPRISING TRILOGY


The country is burning. Hope is lost. Only revolution can save Riktenburg.

   In war-torn Riktenburg, Nathaniel Fletcher burns for revenge. Acting as saboteurs and spies against the Austrian invaders, he and Eva, his new wife, are engaged in a vicious struggle for control of the country. But in a sabotage gone wrong, Eva is captured by the religious fanatics of the Faith. Locked away enduring untold tortures, Eva waits for rescue.
   To get to her, Nathaniel and fellow rebels Logan Harling and Jacob Douglas will have to battle their way through countless soldiers of the Austrian occupying army, the Faith's ruthless extremists, as well as their former friend, the traitor Joseph Klein. To oust the enemy from their homes, the people of Riktenburg must rise up and rebel. Only a revolution can save them now.
   But that's just what Joseph Klein is waiting for: an excuse to tighten his grip and unleash bloody tyranny across the country. Determined to rescue his wife and overthrow Joseph, Nathaniel will stop at nothing to see Riktenburg free . . . or die trying.
   The Uprising is the climatic finish to The Uprising Trilogy.

The P***S Mightier than the Sword, or How to Approach Sex in Your Writing

It’s no surprise to say that sex sells, in movies, in media, and in books. Despite all the author/publisher rights’ debates recently, Harlequin Romances are still selling; people want to read about others having sex. Erotica, by definition, excites, plain and simple. But how do you handle it in your books? It’s all well and good to want to tantalize your readers or explore a more racy side to your writing, but what about when your friends, and God-forbid, parents and children read the sex scenes in your book? Should you edit them out based on that personal audience, or should those bodices keep ripping? (Excuse me while I choke on my coffee) As an author, you have several options:           1.       Use a Pseudonym           2.      Be Discreet           3.    ...

Grey Shore and Law School

As I graduate from law school this week, I've had the exciting news that Grey Shore of Conscience , the novella I wrote about a court-martial in the Royal Navy of the Napoleonic Era was picked up by The Long Story, the only literary journal in North America which publishes longer pieces. I've had some wonderfully kind feedback which may provide further opportunities (I'll keep you informed if anything develops). In the meantime, you can find a PDF of the piece at the University of Nebraska College of Law's website , as I initially wrote the piece for a class. And, in similarly exciting news, I've turned Grey Shore into a novel. I finished up the first draft a few weeks ago and am now plugging at at turning it into something workable. Again, more details to follow, but as we move into the summer and Bar preparations, it's nice to have some fun to distract me!

Doing the Work: 2020

Hello, all.      It's been quite some time since I've written, but 2020 for me has been about getting back to my writing, sitting down, and doing the work.      During law school, I commissioned into the Navy and after graduation and initial training, I was stationed in Japan from 2017-2019. This experience was incredible, and I got to travel widely, was deployed, and mostly worked on honing my professional craft as a lawyer and officer. Although I continued to write as I found time, it was largely personal journals on my experience underway, etc.      We've now moved to Oak Harbor, WA, and I've buckled down to be more productive about my writing. I n the last year, I edited and finalized a book about Alcibiades of Athens and the ancient Greek Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta. I'm currently shopping this for traditional publication.      Next, I finished planning Uprising , the conclus...
