I can’t tell you how thrilled I am to be just over a week away from the official release of Angst & Wrath<\/em>, my debut poetry book! I’ve received my proof copy of the book in the mail and it looks just as great in person as it did on screen when I was laying it out. It’s almost better, honestly. There’s something nice about seeing your name in print. Of course, I’ve had that experience before with the various role- playing game books I worked on when I was involved with Aegis Studios<\/a>, but this being the first time a work is all mine, I have a slightly different kind of fondness for it.<\/p>\n

Poetry was my first love as a writer. Publishing this book is almost like reuniting with someone you’re madly in love with but thought dead for a decade. In a way, putting this book out has rekindled my relationship with verse. I’m as head over heels for poetry as I ever was. Maybe someday we’ll get married…<\/p>\n

And while I’m still going to be crafting poems for a follow-up book (tentatively called Exercises in Exorcism), my next project is a children’s book I will be working on with my wife. More news to come on that front.<\/p>\n

While you’re waiting for the official release of Angst & Wrath<\/em>, why not follow me on Twitter<\/a> or become a fan of the book on Facebook<\/a>?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
