Science Fiction + Art

No one expects the Spanish Exposition! Another short vid on what exposition is and some tips on how to make it work for your story.

I posted a new Youtube video on one of the hardest parts of editing a novel – closing all the logic gaps. Take a look! And if you’re feeling extra nice, drop a comment.

In July, Max Elliot Anderson, author of the just-out Lost Island Smugglers, interviewed me on the cover art and illustration process. You can view the interview on his blog Books and Boys, and again at On the Write Track.

I did the interior art as well as the cover art for Max Elliot Anderson’s Lost Island Smugglers. All illustrations have been added to my gallery, but here’s a quick peak here:

Lost Island Smugglers by Max Elliot Anderson is out! Check out my mean cover art/illustrations and Max’s totally sweet story.

Trailer is live! Come check out the cool things we’re doing at Port Yonder. (Pst – I made the video, so you must watch it. Much fun!)

And for a boo-yah preview, here’s a look at the process it took to make the front cover. Learned a lot on this one, and yes, it was fun!

Lo and behold, it’s here! The early trailer for my Space Opera novel, Kynaston. Watch it to get a sneak peak of what’s to come. (Sometime in the future…)

I just got added to Where the Map End’s speculative artists list! Go and check out the oodles of awesome artists there, it’s a fair treasure trove of eye-popping goodness. (I love that site!) http://www.wherethemapends.com/fantasticvisions/fantasticvisions.htm

Author/agent Terry Burn’s has a knack for home time stories, the kind to read on a lazy night around the campfire. On the Road Home: Stories of Life and Love is a collection of short stories, memoirs, cowboy poetry, and one fantastic western novella, now out from Port Yonder Press. See a peak at my illustrations below, and buy the book!
