My Final Semester

For the past few years, I've been earning a few masters degrees from Western Colorado University. Last year, I earned my MFA in Genre Fiction. This year, I will be earning an MA in Publishing...

...and today, I just submitted my last assignments to the teacher! A few minutes ago, actually. It was awesome!

I'm super excited to complete this chapter in my life. I'm ready to. take what I've learned and apply it all to my self-publishing business.

That leads me to my next bit of news...

Jules Verne Book Reissue

The Big Move

This week has been rough.

Bonsai and Joey have moved into their new home in St. George, Utah. As you can see, they're properly wasted. Joey usually takes a little time to adjust to a new living space. Bonsai, however, is simply tired all the time.

Now that I've taken the past 3 days to move, I'm ready to get back to work!

Quick Question...

1. characters and character relationships
