What I’m reading
Unfortunately, I don’t have as much time to read these days as I used to. The days of reading 40-50 books per year are long gone. But I’m always reading something.
Current read: “Dragons of Winter Night,” by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. Grabbing a comfort read after a rough couple of months. The Dragonlance series was a huge part of my formative years. The flaws are glaring 50-ish years down the road, but I still enjoy re-reading them once in a blue moon.
Last read: “Heart of the Mountain” by Larry Correia. I’m not normally a “read them all at once” kind of guy. Even when a series is complete, I usually take a break, but this one just kept ramping up and pushing me onward. And he absolutely nailed the ending.
Current listening
Music is a major part of my writing process, as well as my life. I’ve often joked that I spend more time planning the soundtrack of my novels than what I’m actually going to write, but it’s not far from the truth. I’m an old metalhead who dabbles in other musical styles. Here I’ll share the current soundtrack for my life (and eventually, maybe some of my novels.) The button below will also take you to my infrequently updated music review site.
