    How Books Scare Us — or Not

    April 10, 2023 / No Comments

    I’ve always loved a good horror story. While I don’t always write horror, when I do, I try to emulate masters of suspense like Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Thomas Olde Heuvelt. I’ve been told the Amelia Doss series, written by my co-author Andre Gonzalez, and me, is pretty darn terrifying. When I wrote Amelia, I really tried hard to…

    Lessons Learned From a Writing Life Part Two

    March 25, 2023 / No Comments

    Be BOLD – Don’t censor your thoughts and ideas no matter how outside the mainstream they are. Playing it safe doesn’t bode well for a writer. Be FEARLESS – Don’t be afraid to try new things, embrace new technology, or hit publish on that novel you’ve had sitting in your desk drawer collecting dust for all these years. You never…

    Lessons Learned from a Writing Life Part One

    March 24, 2023 / No Comments

    Some readers can be fickle and fame fleeting Your latest novel will be the most popular thing since sliced bread one minute, but the second the next trend hits, most readers will forget you ever existed. Fame is fleeting. Do what you do because you love it. That passion and love will attract loyal readers and super fans who will…

    What Makes a Good Friend?

    January 24, 2019 / No Comments

    I was actually on social media earlier when a post came across my feed where one person was accusing another person of not being a good friend because that person wasn’t constantly over at the other person’s house, or constantly calling the other person. Needy much? I have a theory about this and perhaps I’m a giant asshole for saying…

    Choosing Kindness (Or Not)

    December 24, 2018 / 1 Comment

    Over the past week I received three emails from different people asking whether or not the Zagan Rite was for them. Now, normally I’m pretty honest. I will tell a person my thoughts on their use of magick for personal issues and hold nothing back. After all, they need to know up front the potential pitfalls of every operation they…

    Why I Don’t Blog About Magick (But Probably Should)

    November 16, 2014 / 1 Comment

    Someone asked me again today why I don’t blog much about magick. Usually when I’m talking Daemonolatry on this blog or at the .org, I’m talking about the spiritual end of things, or The Great Work. Sometimes I talk technique or my view of a certain thing within magick. Very rarely do I delve into specific techniques or my own…

    For Newly Contracted/Published Indie & Small Press Authors

    November 11, 2014 / 1 Comment

    I wrote this because I work with a lot of first-time authors and I needed an article to direct them to to help them deal with the extreme excitement (and the expectations) they usually have about their first book. Over the years I’ve learned a lot about this business. The following has been gathered from my conversations with editors and…

    The Brass Vessel

    March 13, 2013 / 1 Comment

    So I wanted to talk about the Brass Vessel, spirit vessels in general, and magick lamps because I think some folks really misunderstand (IMO) what these things are. Clearly a lot of people look at magick lamps and brass vessels and we think of genii. You rub the lamp, the genii trapped in the lamp pops out and gives you…
