Is My Hat Getting Too Small?

Next stop on the blog tour is an Morgan Huneke! After her enthusiastic words about Implant my head may be so big that my hats will no longer fit. I’m very flattered that she enjoyed it so much! But don’t take my word for it. See her review for yourself!

Utopia Comes First

Next stop on the tour is a wonderful site, Vaguely Circular. Here, I discuss dystopia itself, where it comes from, am why it never loses popularity. If we love happy endings, why are we so captivated by world’s gone wrong?

Oops, That Was an Accident

There are good accidents and bad accidents. Having Implant come out as a dystopia was, I think, a good accident. A dear friend and talented fellow writer Jonathan Garner let me talk about that over on his blog today. Hop on over and have a look!

The problem is, no two times…

Not So Much a Review as a Pondering

A few days ago, I went to see Paper Towns. A few days before, I read the book. I did both because, as those who know me are aware, I’m a big fan of John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars (not so much a fan of the teenage premarital sex, but I ignore that part). The Paper Towns movie,…

If I Have to Read This Book One More Time…

…I don’t even know what I’ll do. Go crazy. Delete the entire thing. Maybe even swear off writing for ever. As I rush through the very final stages of editing Implant I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve gone over this book. I enjoy a good re-read as much as the next bibliophile, but the same work five…
