Arthur Rackham(1867-1939) My, what a long overdue post this is. If you did not know, my original plan was to be done with Pick a Card in May 2022; but due to the expanding lengths of the books and a few cover artist changes, Alice ended up taking over a year to complete, and became … Continue reading Pick a Card: Post Mortem
Hello Readers! Would you believe it, it's been an extraordinarily long time since we've last talked. This is because life happened, and it happened a lot to me in the past year. So, to start off, we're going to address the two major elephants in the room. One, I have covid. Right now. As I … Continue reading The Joker’s Last Laugh, Covid, and the Year Moving Forward.
Hello Readers and welcome back to my blog; we're going to start today with a note on review copies and then go into talking about the Prison of Hearts immediately afterwards. So if you've been here for a while, you likely know that I do review copies through Booksirens because I've had previous books leaked … Continue reading Talking about the Prison of Hearts (Review Copies, Spoilers, and That Scene)
When I originally planned to drop these chapters, they were completely different. I've said it before and I'll say it again, a lot has happened the past few months, and I had to rewrite a lot of this book because it no longer felt appropriate. A lot of how a book is received often has … Continue reading Alice, Haldia, Serials, and Some Little Business tidbits.
So, a strangely large number of people follow my blog because I also talk about the writing process a good deal, and I'm slightly entertaining, which is interesting to me because I'm a mess, but... I feel like I should always post a disclaimer or something that blog posts get worked on for me during … Continue reading Cutting Scenes, Making Revisions, and Other Hard Things in Writing, With Examples from Pick a Card

I was never actually planning on making a post mortem post for Spades after it released, instead I was planning on posting a bunch of my world building notes-- starting with a list of historical figures and events that inspired things in Wonderland. That post is … Continue reading The Future of Pick a Card, and More on Alice in the Palace of Spades — Out now!
There is no way back from Wonderland—or so they claim.Not when the only door leading to my world is broken, and the magic of Wonderland has been thrown out of order. The magic itself relies on the clock at the center of Wonderland; but with the clock broken, my home in a state of disarray, … Continue reading Alice In the City of Diamonds is coming January 21st!
