Writing LessonsWriting 10,000 words in a day sounds impossible until you see the machinery behind it. I do it on top of ghostwriting, blogging, and promotion, and the secret is not talent or typing speed. It is a system of goals,…
Writing LessonsThe wall behind my desk holds books I use, not books I display. Each one earned its spot by getting pulled down mid-project, while I draft novels, ghostwrite for clients, or build handbooks. This is not a best-of list scraped…
Book CoachI have published 113+ books and write up to 12,000 words a day, and I also have ADHD that fights me on focus every morning. Every book got finished despite the obstacles, not in their absence. Here is what actually…

Writing LessonsOver eight years and 300-plus renaissance festivals, I shot roughly 980,000 photos of performers, belly dancers, jousters, pirates, often hired, always watching through the lens. That much close observation rewires how you see people. Here is what nearly a million…
