With Gas Giant Gambit only eight weeks from hitting shelve, I’ve decided to compile all my posts regarding it on one place–right here! I’m sure I’ll continue to blog about it as we get closer, including pre-order announcements and any appearances I may make, so I will keep this post updated and at the top…

Gas Giant Gambit: Ray
When I’m figuring out my main characters, I like to fall back on one trope in particular: the Freudian Trio. Once you’re aware of this trope, you start to see it everywhere, but perhaps the best example of it is Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, and Dr. McCoy. McCoy is the emotional id; Spock, the logical…

Gas Giant Gambit: Kirkus Review
If you follow me on my various social media platforms, you may already be aware of today’s topic–but my book is coming out in ten weeks, and this counts as marketing, so you’ll just have to bear with me! On July 1st, I got an email from my publisher letting me know that we had…

Why I’m Publishing Gas Giant Gambit Traditionally
One of the things I dislike about the writing community is the negative discourse regarding trad vs self-publishing. We’re all writers, are we not?

Gas Giant Gambit: Moe
Way back in November of 2023, I wrote a little bit about the protagonist of Gas Giant Gambit, Gus. Now, with the release date coming in hot (September 16, 2025!), I feel it’s time to get back to that topic, and introduce you to a few more characters, starting with the one that may be…

Book Research
One of the things I love most about being an author is the research. That may sound boring to many, but I have a passion for learning. I love that “aha!” feeling when you understand a new concept or learn some interesting or fundamental factoid. If I could have remained a student after graduating university,…
