Today has been a perfect example of why I've kept this website up and running for 13 years now. John Scalzi once said (I'm quoting from memory, so it might not be word for word) -- "Social media platforms come and go... but your website? That'll be around long after." Don't get me wrong. Facebook, … Continue reading Keep Afloat

Helping Out Another
This week, I want to talk to you about a friend of mine I've known for **cough cough mumble** years now who only recently became an author. His name? Shane Gries. Shane writes what I like to call epic space opera. He's less about the "pew pew!" and more about the story and plot. Not … Continue reading Helping Out Another
Wyvacon 2021 AAR — The Unnamed Virus of Unspecified Origin Edition
Wyvacon 2021 Okay, so first off, it's Why-vuh-con and not Wiv-uh-con like I thought. Yeah, English continues to bully me, even when I try to speak it and claim to be one of those writer types as my full-time job. I had a lot of fun at Wyvacon this year. Granted, I always have a … Continue reading Wyvacon 2021 AAR — The Unnamed Virus of Unspecified Origin Edition
Wyvacon Weekend
This weekend's Wyvacon schedule looks pretty exciting. I know I'm looking forward to a good time. Bonus -- Wyvacon has said that anyone under the age of 16 gets in for free with one adult paid admission. So if you pay for your ticket, your three kids get in for free. It's that family-friendly. It's … Continue reading Wyvacon Weekend

Created by Kevin Steverson, the first three books (SALVAGE TITLE, SALVAGE FLEET, and SALVAGE SYSTEM) have been optioned for a movie already and is … Continue reading Release Day

WriterDojo
I know a lot of people hate on Larry Correia because of his politics, but nobody can state with any honesty that he doesn't understand business. He and Steve Diamond (another accountant... what's up with the accountants taking over writing?) host a weekly podcast called WriterDojo, which is designed to help out those who are … Continue reading WriterDojo

And Then The Author Lost His Cool
It used to be amusing. Back when I was first starting out, I kept people more up-to-date with what was going on in my every day life. Between reviewing books (and we reviewed a lot of them over at Shiny Book Review), working 100+ hours a week, maintaining some semblance of sanity in the home … Continue reading And Then The Author Lost His Cool
Good Morning Stench
Ah, there's nothing quite like the smell of raw sewage in the morning. Somewhere near my house there's a sewer line issue. It's not my house, thankfully. At least, I'm pretty sure it's not. Fortunately, the smell isn't really noticeable in my office or bedroom. Anywhere there's an open window, though... ugh. I'm currently taking … Continue reading Good Morning Stench
Dog Days
It's tough to write during the dog days of summer. Especially when you're like me and don't function well in the heat. I swear my next house will have central A/C and good insulation. I've been doing a lot of quiet "behind the scenes" stuff when it comes to writing the past few weeks. Primarily, … Continue reading Dog Days
It Takes All Kinds
The Salvage Universe, created by Kevin Steverson, is really expanding. I was fortunate enough to have been invited to participate in an anthology in the universe. Today the cover was revealed and it is very retro 60's science fiction. I'm a huge fan of this style and really enjoy it. "It Takes All Kinds" will … Continue reading It Takes All Kinds
