Here you’ll find little tidbits of “dvd extras”. Added content in a sort of writer’s commentary, of the chapter already posted. You’ll find no “spoilers” here, and you may wish to skip this altogether out of pure disinterest. But should you be curious . . .

Welcome, to my latest novel Ether. If you look above, you’ll find a tab labeled Ether (technically it says ether, this format doesn’t allow for proper caps!)  There you’ll find the Fantasy novel Ether posted one chapter at a time every Friday, beginning today, and finishing May 5th, 2009. Like what you’re reading?  The tabContinue reading “Welcome to Ether”

I’ll be making changes to the blog this week – the design and layout – so if you’re popping in and see strange things going on, and changing around, be not afraid 😀 I’m just prepping for the free debut of Ether. feel free to wander around while I putz, shouldn’t get in the wayContinue reading “pardon my dust”

No, seriously, Guess. Come on … at least TRY to guess. I’ll give you a clue: http://gotm.wordpress.com/ You GUESSED !  Good for you!  That’s right, Pete Tzinski is writing again. And, I might add, I take full credit for this revelation.  For ’twas I who cajolled him into returning to the Happy Place that isContinue reading “guess what”

No, not the band – although I’ve always been a huge fan, myself.  I mean the questions you ask as a writer, of yourself, of your characters, of your novel.  Who, What, Why, Where, How.

Even if it’s a harmless sheet of college rule looking up from a notebook, there’s something intimidating about it. NothingContinue reading “the blank page”

I’ve often lamented my lack of artistic skills when it comes to the visual.  While I have great “ideas”, I lack the physical talent to pull them off.  Never before has this been more annoying than now – when I’ve become the cover artist for Trunk Novels. So far, I’ve managed to pull off someContinue reading “Frustrations”

So it’s been quiet here for a few days mostly because 1) I’ve been busy, and 2) I’ve been REALLY REALLY BUSY! Computers are such a love/hate issue. Last week, the people in charge of our networking system at work decided to switch things up a bit – justifying their paychecks maybe, I dunno. WhatContinue reading “a remapping we will go”

So today the mailman brought me my advance copy of Keeper, in paperback, printed by Lulu and offered up by Trunk Novels.   And all I can say – since this is the first time I’ve seen a paperback printed by Lulu before – is WOW. Seriously, my Ego is having a field day with this. Continue reading “all ego, very little id.”
