Book Release: ANGELS

July 23, 2019July 22, 2019 / Alexander Pyles / Leave a comment

I said stay tuned and here is another of the Black Hare Press anthologies(that I'm in)! It releases today from Amazon and contains another five of my drabbles! I'll post the title list below as I did last time at the bottom. My own drabbles for this edition cover angels of death, strife in heaven, … Continue reading Book Release: ANGELS

Book release: WORLDS

June 25, 2019June 21, 2019 / Alexander Pyles / Leave a comment

Today is release day for the anthology which I am in! It has been a long time, since I have been in an anthology and I'm thrilled that I was accepted into it. So, if you noticed my updated "Publications page" you'll find this anthology listed there, since I have a handful of micro fiction … Continue reading Book release: WORLDS

2019: Writing Ahead

February 18, 2019February 7, 2019 / Alexander Pyles / Leave a comment

This is another post that I have been dragging my feet on. It's funny since I had conceptualized what my goals were in December, but then after the 1st of the year, I've had to already begin adapting and creating new targets as more hurdles emerged. I guess that's just what happens right? So, looking … Continue reading 2019: Writing Ahead

2018 in Books

February 5, 2019February 3, 2019 / Alexander Pyles / Leave a comment

Sorry for the delay, but January proved to be a very busy month. I have my recap and some favorites below, so please take a moment a peek at those. Otherwise, I read a total of 137 stories(novels, graphic novels, short stories & novellas), so don't be too amazed by that count. Without putting this … Continue reading 2018 in Books

2018: A Review

December 31, 2018December 31, 2018 / Alexander Pyles / Leave a comment

So, this is much overdue and I won't even be able to cover everything that I want to cover here, like reading/writing stats and everything else. (I'll cover this in January.) What I do want to take a moment to reflect on is everything that happened in 2018 and what I am looking forward to in … Continue reading 2018: A Review

Getting Back In It

April 5, 2018April 4, 2018 / Alexander Pyles / Leave a comment

So, I realize my blog has been kinda silent for the past couple months and I want to first apologize for that. I realize most of you miss my posts/reviews (hopefully some of you actually do). Life got kind of busy there for a bit between my freelancing and work/family stuff, so the blog had … Continue reading Getting Back In It

Sailing Back to Earthsea

January 25, 2018January 24, 2018 / Alexander Pyles / Leave a comment

People who deny the existence of dragons are often eaten by dragons. From within. Ursula K. Le Guin I'm sure that by the time you read this you'll have heard the news that Ursula K. Le Guin has passed at age 88 in her home. May she rest among the worlds of her making. I didn't … Continue reading Sailing Back to Earthsea

Writing Life: Time Management

January 23, 2018January 23, 2018 / Alexander Pyles / Leave a comment

So, coming into this new year I have several goals and in order to reach these goals, I need to set aside time. Nothing special right? Well, for the writer **time** is a huge factor and one that some may not appreciate depending on your situation. Okay so let me set up what the usual … Continue reading Writing Life: Time Management

2017 in Books

January 2, 2018January 2, 2018 / Alexander Pyles / Leave a comment

Looking back on 2017, I'm going to start crunching some data for some of you junkies out there. (Personally, I love stats and charts so here you go.) I read a total of 95 books! Looking back at all of this, it actually surprised me that I read so many indie books last year, although … Continue reading 2017 in Books

Coming Up For Air (Life Update)

November 30, 2017November 27, 2017 / Alexander Pyles / 1 Comment

I haven't really done one of these on this blog before, but I've decided it was a good time to start. I finally have a chance to write this, so I wanted to give my readers a sort of "check-in" with me. I will say first that I want to say thank you for reading … Continue reading Coming Up For Air (Life Update)
