Writing Update: May 11 2026

Over the weekend I reached a milestone: I finished the first draft of my first novel.

This book is my first step into the science fiction world. Basically, I took Halo CE's story and made it a bit more realistic from the Marine's point of view. This is still far away from being completed, looking to hopefully have this thing out sometime next year at the earliest. Working title is Erebus. 

More details to come and I'll be working on other smaller projects in between drafts (to include my Afghan memoir). 

What am I reading?

Halo Edge of Dawn—I finished this last week. If you're a fan of the Halo: Infinite, this is a solid book. What was meant to be a DLC and continuation of the campaign was turned into a book. Kelly Gay is an excellent writer. That said, I have a lot of issues with the direction of the plot (or lack thereof) within the book. This is a reflection of Halo Studios decision making and not Gay's. 

Starhammer—This has been a fantastic read.

Dark Tower IV: Wizard and the Glass—Always have a Stephen King novel at the ready

Lots of boring business books. 

What am I watching?

As much of the Stanley Cup Playoffs as I can (which hasn't been much recently) and Aliens (1986).
