New Year! More Renaissance Fairs
2025 was a blast! This summer, we’re confirmed at Utah Ren Fest (May 9-10, 16-17, 23-25), Thornshire (Aug 7-8, 14-15, 28-29), and Central Idaho Renaissance Fair (Sep 11-12). We’ve applied to be at Beltane (Jun 6-7), Mystic Realms Fantasy Fair (June 28-30), and Idaho Renaissance Fair (Oct 10-11). Come find me (there’s even some freebies to be found!)
The Artificial Intelligence Conundrum
Witchhunts ravage the land! They’re burning books, banning authors’ rights to sell, and condemning technology to their own peril! Here are my thoughts on the subject. We’ll start with a post with excerpts from the United States Copyright Office, and explore my ruminations from there.
I recently stumbled upon a great video, one that I wholeheartedly agree with. What saddens me is not the pace of change. Some choose comfort over curiosity, call it maturity, and sneer at anyone who still learns out loud. I hear the same refrain dressed in different outfits: “This is dangerous.” “This is cheating.” “This is the end.” Sometimes it is caution. Often, it is fear with a better vocabulary. Automation has always, will always, remove the mundane from our lives. Innovation does not steal meaning. It clears space. The question is what you do with that space. Do you build skill, discernment, and agency, or do you fill the quiet with outrage because that is easier than effort?
If you feel threatened, stop defending stagnation like it makes you principled. Study what you dismiss. “Know thy enemy,” Sun Tzu said. Knowledge, not blind resistance, will save you and the pursuits you love. Learn until the tool stops feeling like an enemy, then determine for yourself how it fits in your world. Leave mine to me.
For transparency sake, I posted a revised forward to self-published works.
Backstory Shorts is where you will find excerpts from the backstories of characters in my novels. These shorts provide historical context that was helpful in writing scenes. While most backstory events are not usually included in the final drafts of novels, they provide a level of realism, depth, and personality to the characters. Sometimes they help to understand why characters have made the decisions that drove their story forward.
Works In Progress is where you will find odds and ends, the chaotic mind of the author, in random musings across the spectrum of his art. Be sure to check out his voice acting bloopers!
