Butterfly Baby Now Live!

I’m pleased to release Butterfly Baby, an adorable picture book for nap time. It was inspired by my own three “butterfly babies,” who aren’t really babies anymore. But when they were, they often refused to nap even when in desperate need of sleep’s transformative powers.

You can find it on Amazon, Smashwords, and Google Play. I hope you enjoy it!

Playing with Power Available Everywhere!

When I got my PhD, there was no such thing as a Game Design program at any university. That didn’t stop me. I wrote my dissertation on authorship and roleplaying games, anyway.

There was also no way to self-publish your dissertation as an ebook. So it languished in obscurity until eventually Warehouse23 did me the favor of hosting it. But times have changed and as of today Amazon, Google Play, and Smashwords make it possible for even non-gamers to find and preview my dissertation, and even download a copy. Yay technology!
