Starting Over From Square One
9/17/2018 I have officially moved into my new home for the next eight months in San Roque, Spain; I am no longer homeless! Wow is it beautiful. There’s a little café across the street called La Ermita. I live right next to the pool and gym, and attached to it there's a soccer field [...]
The Attack of the Spanish Animals
Date: 9/16/2018 I told my new roommate I’d move in with him on Monday. I wanted to take one day to relax and do absolutely nothing. I also wanted to enjoy one more night with air conditioning. Spain is fricken HOT! And it is unusual to have air conditioning here so I wanted to [...]
The Goals of an Auxiliar de Conversación in Spain
In my previous post, I started talking about my goals. Goals are important because they are what get you up in the morning, ready to start the day and improve your life. When you were a kid, your goals were set for you: graduate and get a job. Well, now that those goals have [...]
Starting My Spanish Life in San Roque
After arriving to Spain and recovering on the beach, it was time to figure out my life. The first thing on my list was to get out of the stone age and get a phone plan. I was afraid to leave my Airbnb without data. So I searched for my destination on Google Maps [...]

Life Lessons Taught By SpongeBob SquarePants

But not just a cartoon writer, the creator of one of the greatest shows of all time. And it’s the simplicity of the creative [...]
Thank You Junkland Fans
I only had three beta readers for Junkland. Now, for The Lost Soul, I had fourteen people willing to be a beta reader, and most of them reached out to me demanding I put them on the list. This is the support that keeps me going, when people show interest in what I am doing. These [...]
The Lost Soul – Prologue (sneak peak)
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is a draft of the prologue of The Lost Soul, book two in The Hoarding series. This chapter will change in the final draft, but it will be similar. I hope you enjoy it! Prologue They were lost. The wind was picking up. The snowstorm was getting too thick to see; [...]
An Author’s Goal of Dreaming, Believing, and Pursuing
Dream. Believe. Pursue. This motto has gotten me through all the negativity and hardship that has come with following my passion. It was what kept me on track when family, friends, and my conscious told me to focus more on my stable engineering career. However, I knew deep down, I did not want that [...]
