An Odd Man’s Odyssey
See the tales of an author who can be a little “different,”
and his attempts to see the world even more differently!
Exploring the steep path of a writer’s adventure
Welcome to my unique writer’s blog, An Odd Man’s Odyssey!
I want to share my latest adventures, writing news, and wandering odd thoughts,
as I travel on the odyssey of an author and storyteller.
Welcome to the place where every day is an adventure!
New updates from
the Odd Odyssey!
It’s HERE… Again!
It’s been 316 days since I last published a book, which is way longer than I expected.
But Dread Reckoning comes out today on all platforms! Woohoo!
It did take me longer to get it there than I expected, I’ll admit. See, Dread Reckoning and All We Have to Remember were originally part of one book, as many of you know. So, you may be wondering, “What took so long?”
Well, many things. The crux of which may be…

The Odd Writer and Once Upon a Time!
September 2026
I’d like to talk about publishing Dread Reckoning, but I’m not doing that until October, so it’s better to wait. On the other hand, it’s the only big thing in the pipeline, which leaves writing topics hard to cover at the moment.
Instead of talking about what I’m writing, maybe this is a time to talk about…
August 2026
Have you ever judged a book by its cover?
I have. Which makes me thing maybe you have too.
So, lets talk about book covers, what I do and what a cover means in the current world a writing adventure.
July 2026
Ah, editing. Dear reader, this time-honored tradition among writers is… annoying.
This month I want to talk through what editing feels like from a writer’s perspective as well as where it can lead us as storytellers.
The good, and the bad.
June 2026
There are a lot of things that I want to be as a writer, and that I think are good for new writers to be. The characteristic I think I’d like to grow in most in this season of my life is Boldness.
This month I want to talk about why being Bold is so important to me.
May 2026
April 14th came and went this past month, meaning that more than a year has passed since my first book, All We Have to Remember, was first published.
I’ve learned a lot in this year, some were easy lessons, some were not. The example of the latter that comes to mind is…
The Rhythm of the Writing Quill
April 2026
I figured I’d write to you about a more fun part of my writing adventure, music!
If you think my odyssey is odd, just wait until you hear about my playlist. Some authors like to listen to certain types of music that match either their genre or the mood of their scene. In part, I do that too. However…
March 2026
I’m really close to one whole year of being a published author, and during that time, I’ve discussed my books with family, writers, and readers like you. In those discussions, I found that I have a somewhat unique aspect that is a foundation for…
Focus, the art of Now and Forever
February 2026
Once again your Odd Man wanders a bit to talk about the nature of focus.
What is it we should focus on both as authors and as people with all the distractions nowadays?
Want to know?
Hint: It’s in the title
January 2026
We’re in 2026, and now it’s time to choose what we’re going to do now?
Last year, I released two books and an audio-book (both of which are available using the links on my bookshelf page wink), and this year…
December 2025
While I have few quick and exciting updates to share, I want to talk about something else.
Instead of book and writing updates C.R. seems to stand for Captain Random this month because I want to talk of the nature of dreams!
November 2025
An Odd Man’s Odyssey has officially reached one year, and what an adventure it’s already been.
Thank you all for reading my short monthly posts, and I’m happy to say we still have much to look forward to.
October 2025
Writing and publishing my first book, that was the conquering of my first mountains.
Now, I can see that the mountain I’m about to climb isn’t like the last one. More than what I can see, however, it’s what I can’t see that bothers me…
Whoops, I guess it’s time for updates
September 2025
I kind of took the past month and a half off and fell into the trap of procrastination. It happens.
Still, this gives me a good time to give all of you updates on my upcoming projects.
August 2025
Dear Readers, how big is your world?
Do you measure it in feet, inches, kilometers, days of travel, or is it merely too big to imagine?
“C.R. this is an odd question. Also, why do you say your world like you aren’t a part of it?”
Wondering of the
Wandering Wonder
July 2025
Many people think of an adventure as being driven by progress that is ever moving toward a goal, but true odysseys are not so straightforward. All along the way, we are slowed not only by obstacles but by the attraction of wandering wonder.
June 2025
On my writing Odyssey, now that I’m moving from publishing a book to selling and writing again, things are becoming a matter of once again walking in wide open spaces. You weren’t with me last time I was here, so let me describe this place to you.
A Wild Month of Winds and Wonders
May 2025
The odyssey of writing so far has been a mix of slow climbs and steady walks, but last month (April) was a month when your local author faced a few storms.
And so the Adventure Continues…
April 2025
Odysseys, dear readers, have many landmark moments and I’m approaching one now.
It’s April and that means this month is when I plan to release my first book.
March 2025
I don’t know about you, but the beginning of the year burdened me with worries. So, I want to tell you about what I’ve learned about having hope on my Odyssey.
February 2025
We’ve all heard the phrase “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” but this time from the Odyssey I want to talk about the times we try to convince others that the beauty we see is all there is to see at all.
January 2025
This latest post from the Odyssey is about the dangers of doubt that come with every new year and how they have affected me personally as an author.
Why Do People Climb Mountains?
December 2024
In this entry, we explore how the challenges of writing and publishing are like climbing a mountain. And why, if climbing a mountain is so hard, we face them anyways.
November 2024
This is the first of a new series of personal logs covering my writing adventures.
