A Sunday Off

Leave a Comment Posted by on February 26, 2012

Over at Shiny Book Review we had a contest. Only 7 people entered, so choosing the winner was rather easy. We took an advanced randomization table, inserted a linear graph to calculate, used a high-tech algorithm to determine that our randomness was completely random, and then we drew straws to see which program would run first. Suffice [...]

Really quickly: Last chance to enter the Shiny Book Review contest for a free copy of Ari Marmell’s Thief’s Covenant from Pyr Books. The review is here (hint: I liked it) and you can like us over on Facebook (yes, we have a page there… call us sellouts if you like). On the Facebook page, tell us why you are the [...]

Bad News (and a little bit of good thrown in)

Leave a Comment Posted by on February 17, 2012

Bad news (and some good news to offset the bad). First off, I’ve informed the concom at Mysticon that I will be unable to attend this year. Work is crazy right now, and one of my fellow workers is out with a major surgery. I was anticipating on him covering for me while gone, and [...]

Stalk Me At Mysticon

Leave a Comment Posted by on February 9, 2012

So my programming for Mysticon has arrived and I’m excited. Not because of anything important, just that CON SEASON is upon us (at last!!!). Wanna stalk me (well, discreetly at least)? Without further ado, here is my schedule: Fri, 7:00 PM – Signing Table — I’ll be signing whatever is thrown my way: napkins, boobies, small [...]

The Writing News

1 Comment Posted by on February 4, 2012

Worked a bit on the Sha’Daa: Catechism story, featuring three of the lost Faberge eggs of the Romanovs. It’s creepy and fun, but being a little stubborn at the moment. It’s hard to write this style, which goes against the grain for me. However, I shall persevere. Or die trying. Two books being reviewed this [...]

Book Pretty!

Leave a Comment Posted by on January 30, 2012

Work (the non-writing variety) has been utterly brutal these past three weeks. I’m looking forward to a few days off, and then in a few more weeks off to Mysticon! Woohoo! Note to self: no absinthe. Not ever again. EVER. You know it’s bad when I’m begging for some vodka to chase the original drink [...]

…and we’re back. Sorry for the outage. I originally was leaving up the SOPA/PIPA protest for the weekend, but on Monday I lost my internet (“Lost: Reward” posters were, inevitably, a failure) and only got back online today. That means I missed my review on SBR, lots of interesting things on the ‘net… …and the [...]

Mission: Sleep

Leave a Comment Posted by on January 11, 2012

I was writing a scene in Hell (yes, another Ponce de Leon story) and all of a sudden, Bullet With Butterfly Wings came on and I started rocking out. Granted, Smashing Pumpkins is probably the godfather of the emo movement (much like how The Cure are for goths), but damn could they play some music. [...]

My wrist is hurting today (forearm area, inside wrist… that one spot where the divot is between the tendons). Pretty sore, though not affecting my writing (I’m a hunt and peck typist who actually can get about 75 wpm if I’m zoned in) and I’m hoping it’s just sore tendons and ligaments and nothing more serious. [...]

A Strong Word

Leave a Comment Posted by on January 4, 2012

Inadvertently or not, Sarah Hoyt and Janet Morris have been the two most influential authors in my career. I take what they both tell me very seriously (or just spread amongst the masses to be helpful, which is still very helpful) and, using what they’ve told me, have accomplished far more than I thought I [...]
