March Madness · 2:43am Mar 22nd, 2015

Hello loyal readers!

As I previously mentioned in blog posts and comments March is shaping up to be a crazy month for Memoirs! I appreciate all the comments and discussion that has been going on surrounding the Gryphon's Roost. It was exactly what I'd hoped to achieve. Obviously we still have a little bit more to go but I did have a couple of announcements.

And now for something completely different · 12:34am Feb 26th, 2015

Today is a big day for me! I'm launching my new non-serial story Three of Hearts. It is different from Memoirs of a Royal Guard but promises to be fun in its own right.

Three of Hearts features Azurite who has had a brief cameo in the past. She is one of my favorite characters and extremely fun to write.

The story will be ten chapters that I'll release weekly. ToH starts during Memoirs chapter 40 for you timeline folks.

Ending February With a Bang! · 2:24pm Feb 20th, 2015

February is drawing to a close and I wanted to give everyone a heads-up on my plans for the immediate future. I think you're all going to be pretty thrilled. For new readers: Danger, some slight spoilers below.


To end February with a bang we'll have two chapters next week. Instead of my usual Monday / Thursday release I'll be doing them on Monday and Friday (there is a reason for that).

February Q&A · 5:53pm Feb 13th, 2015

In January I did a question and answers blog post for Memoirs that was really fun and successful. Today I'm in the position of having some free time so I wanted to give all of my amazing readers the opportunity for more interaction!

Memoirs Redux · 12:46am Feb 11th, 2015

I've been writing an awful lot of blog posts lately! Why not one more?

Recently I've finished a self contained story. I've also been working through a lot of future chapters of Memoirs of a Royal Guard. As I did so two things became obvious to me.

1. I was really rusty when I started Memoirs and my style has greatly improved.
2. I know things now that I didn't know when I started Memoirs.

Hearts and Hooves Day Fun · 10:52pm Feb 9th, 2015

I am a sucker for writing stories around the appropriate real life holidays. Particularly if I can tie in an in-character holiday with it. Obviously Valentine's Day and Hearts and Hooves Day are meant to be very similar.

There will be an appropriately themed Memoirs chapter in February. I'm also working on a non-serial story that is love themed. There is a small chance I'll get at least the first chapter out this month. Stay tuned for that.

The Royal Guard as a Military · 7:40pm Feb 8th, 2015

Obviously Memoirs is heavily "military" themed. Almost every character is a royal guard and the plot is heavily centered around royal guard activities. For this week's blog post I wanted to discuss my views on Equestrian military matters and explain my version of the guard a bit. Danger: Wall of military-themed text below!

Friday Q&A · 2:52pm Jan 30th, 2015

One of my favorite activities as an amateur writer is interacting with the folks who like my stories and take the time to comment. I honestly read every bit of feedback I get and do my absolute best to respond to all of it. Over the couple of months that I've been working on Memoirs of a Royal Guard I've added to that interaction with an "ask page" on Tumblr. I realize that not everyone uses Tumblr, however, and my largest

Spin Offs and Cameos · 10:28pm Jan 23rd, 2015

I hope everyone is having a lovely Friday with prospects of an exciting weekend. It has been a pretty great week story wise for Memoirs and I can promise that exciting new chapters are on the way. I've actually been quite eager to share them because they'll be slightly different than what I've done thus far (with the exception being the wedding arc).
