The Samurai of Hyuga series doesn’t have any trailers. When I talk to family and friends about it, it’s kind of hard to explain what an interactive novel series is—and it’s even tougher to get them to install some Hosted Games app on their phone to try it for themselves! I’ve been looking for an easier way to introduce people to SoH that requires minimal effort on their part. Reading an over 1-million word...

I’ve got a secret: a secondary project I’ve been working on for the past two years. It sat dormant on a bitbucket repository for most of that time. If that doesn’t make any sense to you, then congrats: you’re not a programming nerd. But even if you aren’t, you’re probably nerdy enough to have heard of a game called Dungeons & Dragons. As for this secret project, it’s called Tabletop Nights, and it’s an...

The fifth book in the series is as epic as they come, with plenty of heart wrenching moments to be had. But amidst all the humor, danger, and tragedy going on, getting a high attunement score has never been easier. Shortly after the story begins, your stats become meters. Your goal is to fill each of them up by selecting the choices that reflect that particular stat. While they have different names, they operate...

Samurai of Hyuga Book 5 has been released! Check out its page here! I remember calling Book 4 a monster. And it certainly offered plenty of new challenges, requiring a fine-tuned ability to outline in order to create a very dramatic story involving the main character’s past along with a significant, optional romance. But, clocking in at over 430,000 words with THREE story arcs for the price of one, I can safely say that...

Three years have passed since Samurai of Hyuga Book 4 was released. Plagues and wars aside, if you’re reading this, chances are your enjoyment of the series hasn’t changed. Thanks for sticking around with me. Or, if you’re somebody new, you picked a great time to join in! With the official release date of September 1st just several weeks away, I hope this is a nice little taste of things to come! Check out...

If you’ve read my previous blog post on beat sheets, then you already know that I hold screenwriters in very high regard. When your scenes cost thousands of dollars and hundreds of working hours to make, you’re forced to refine your writing to a level no choicegame author comes anywhere close to. While my new audio drama, Cops & Catgirls, may not be quite as expensive (or labor intensive) as a Netflix original series,...

It’s time for something completely different! Give your eyes a rest and your ears a listen to a brand new audio drama that’s unlike anything you’ve heard before. I’ve been writing about magical samurai for eight years, but I’ve never been able to deliver an anime experience like this! Start listening in on the crazy adventures of the loose-cannon cop Kasumi Evans and her ditzy catgirl partner Mia today. It’s interactive, too: vote in...
