Hello! It’s a new episode of Sonitotum… and thanks to a simpler, more streamlined, and more portable approach to recording (which I talk about in the episode), there will be more to come in the weeks ahead. I miss talking to all y’all!

In this episode, I talk about…

• What inspired my return to the mic
• My next fiction project, what it’s going to take, and what it’s going to give
• Solitude
• My ongoing experiment with Amazon Sponsored Product advertising

And I ask you: What are you doing to engage with your creativity in this pandemic era? (You can respond in the comments section of this post, if you like!)

Links and Topics Mentioned in This Episode

• Brave Men Run
• The Sovereign Era books and short stories
• Light of the Outsider, my latest novel

Be A Guest on Sonitotum

I’m always interested in talking to independent creators willing to have a transparent, in-depth, unguarded conversation about making stuff, finding success as you define it, and staying healthy and sane in the process. Check out this episode with musician Emma Wallace to get a sense of what I’m talking about.
