What Scares the Boogeyman? was released on Amazon Kindle today. Print copy will be up soon, undoubtedly. You should go buy it. It has a lot of great writers in it like CJ Henderson, Nancy Asire, David Conyers, Rich Groller, Janet and Chris Morris, and it was edited by John Manning. I didn't write a … Continue reading Book Release Day

A Curiously Random Theme
I hate writing tropes and yet, every single bestseller has a common theme to it. I buy them even when I know they almost always have the same commonality. I bet you can guess what it is if you really put your mind to it. My family likes to procreate. I mean, really likes it. … Continue reading A Curiously Random Theme
Goal Attained — Avatar Unlocked
Made the word count goal today, which means I get to paint tomorrow. Whee! However, my editor is getting annoyed with my teasing snippets of the current WIP and is forcing me (in other words, asking very nicely with no threats of bodily harm, because that's not how he rolls; I swear) for me to … Continue reading Goal Attained — Avatar Unlocked
Larry Correia Interviewed On Huckabee
In case you missed it, NYT bestselling author Larry Correia was interviewed on Huckabee Live last night (Sunday) in response to this piece he wrote awhile back. He did an excellent job, I think. You should read the article, and definitely watch the interview. The article alone is worth it, though you may want to … Continue reading Larry Correia Interviewed On Huckabee
Edited For Content
I didn't meet my writing goal the other day, so I didn't get to paint. Came close, though. But close doesn't cut it when you have deadlines. Trust me. Editors hate when you start an email off with "So I was trying to work out some of the plot details and...". You may as well be admitting … Continue reading Edited For Content
Meeting My Goal
I screwed up yesterday and forgot that Thursday is a writing day. Granted, it's not a Wraithkin writing day, but it's still a "get something down on paper, you lazy bum" sort of day. Which I totally forgot in my haste to paint my Bretonian knights. *sigh* So today is going to be a writing day, which … Continue reading Meeting My Goal
For the Puppies
I've been elbows deep in Wraithkin, so please pardon my absence. I've added about 10,000 words to the book since Jan 1st, so I'm somewhat pleased. Add in the fact that I've also been working on The Gods Anointed and keeping up with my book reviews (while battling the evil, nefarious flu and working full time) and I'm … Continue reading For the Puppies
Survived the Plague
Whoever cast "Plague of Angels" on me and my party can totally suck it. Do you know how bad I've been sick the past five days? On the plus side, I've gotten a ton of sleep the last five days. While not entirely "restful", (see: 100+ degree fever) it was still more sleep than I'd … Continue reading Survived the Plague
BCS AAR
I’m still sick, but I did feel good enough this evening to do some math. And the math says that, in spite of not liking the SEC (the math likes the SEC; I don’t), the SEC had the most bowl wins this year. Otherwise, the whole “Big Six” thing is a bit strange this year. … Continue reading BCS AAR
Cover Alert
One of the nice things about Perseid Publishing (one of my publishers) is that they love gorgeous covers. Behold, the cover of the Fantom Enterprises/Perseid Publishing joint venture for What Scares the Boogeyman? featuring my short story, "The Cold".
Door Charge
Doing some writing today, so it's a short blog update. --Reviewed Cold Days by Jim Butcher over at SBR. My first review of 2013. Yeah, I'm not reviewing as much. Yes, we're looking for more reviewers. --Cracked 50,000 words yesterday on Wraithkin. Go me. --Eating healthier foods. Last night -- Brussels sprouts, tomato basil chicken sausage, orschetti (dafuq?) pasta and … Continue reading Door Charge
Writing Sucks
Writing a difficult scene from Wraithkin right now and it's tough going. Not because it's being difficult, but because it's a highly traumatic scene. It's rough when you have a character that needs to go, because it's the basis of the entire story arc. It's still not easy, though, especially when you really like said character. It's not like … Continue reading Writing Sucks
To Start Off With A Bang
Two of my major goals are to get Wraithkin and Wraithguard out. Not published, but merely out of my hands and into the hands of the Alpha Reader Squad. In order to accomplish this, I forced myself the other day to create a massive spreadsheet for word count. I think my word count goal (not including the blog or … Continue reading To Start Off With A Bang
