Now on Substack: Rhapsody in Realms

World-building wit and wisdom; stories of my successes and setbacks. Follow me for a wealth of inspiration for any world-building journey!


World-builder.
Author.
Game Designer.
Edu-tainer.

I write supernatural thriller novels set in the idyllic village of Avalon, Indiana, where the dead are lingering among the forgotten living. I am also developing a line of solo adventures set in my magipunk realm of Argentii. I write because I want to help my readers build a better world by imagining what is possible.

Rhapsody in Realms

The companion world to my world-building Substack.

Are you looking for new world-building inspiration? Are you struggling to fill those messy plot holes? Have you always been stumped by exactly HOW to "show, don't tell?"

Then this is the project for you!

Avalon, Indiana

There's no reason to leave.

A village in the liminal space between worlds, populated by the strange living and the troubled dead.

Argentii

The Fractured Land

A magipunk world of countless islands where ships sail boldly against all the winds and waves and rocks that would see them slain and strewn across the sea. Magipunk powered airships the size of the dragons of myth and legend. Adventures await.

A world of islands and secret lore. Magipunk adventures at wind and sea. New solo adventures coming soon!

Interests & Hobbies

You can find me at GenCon every year! I love board and card games and have a collection of over 300. I knit, crochet, dye yarn, and occasionally try my hand at spinning (to mixed results).

Favorite Movies

My go-to movies are usually by Mel Brooks and Monty Python. But then there's also Clue and the Princess Bride. The Scream movies and Wes Craven's New Nightmare belong on the list, as well. Rise of the Guardians was a magnificient piece of world-building, and the Dungeons & Dragons movie with Chris Pine is a special sort of amazing.

Favorite TV Series

I will forever love-love-love Beavis and Butthead. (Go ahead and sneer, Sir Patrick Stewart and I will be over here eating it with a spoon.) Rick & Morty, The Twilight Zone, and The X Files have heavy influence on me.

Favorite Writers

Aaron Meinke is the writer I most aspire to be like, though I would settle for Stephen King or Nora Roberts or Neil Gaiman; I admire working writers. Writers who keep churning out books for me to read, and don't just sit on their laurels. Writers like Tim Zahn and Neal Stephenson. And I really wish Patrick Rothfuss would get over himself and just write the damn book.

Favorite Games

I love Gloom, because it's a story telling game. Of course. Big fan of Tokaido and National Parks; Villainous, Betrayal At Baldur's Gate, and Azul are also perenneal favorites. I especially love games that are beautiful to look at. Bonus points if there are cats.
