I just remembered that I had pictures of these. I've painted up a bunch of diesel-style troopers - Wargames Factory's "Shock Troops" set and a couple of grenadier squads from Dust Tactics, most of them with a few modifications and bits added (backpacks left over from Combat Zone helped).…See More

I put a first draft of my WIP for Red Witch up to view. It's rough and unfinished, but hopefully it's enough to give you an idea of where I'm heading with the story.

Way back in November, I started a second Autumn novel for NaNoWriMo.

The publisher is in the middle of a half-dozen housekeeping tasks, and so there seem to be a few delays in editing…See More

Not exactly the best thing to say for my first post. I've been a little intimidated about posting this because it's hard to jump in without looking like I'm the new guy trying to push my own projects on everybody. Don't want to sound like I am.I've been lurking around this sight for more than a year now, trying to soak up as much knowledge as I can from folks wiser than me, which includes about everyone on here. Really, I'm just some amateur putting words down in the computer.For the last…See More
