I was added to the guest list for a somewhat local (I say somewhat because it's a 3.5 hour drive from my house) at the end of the month. WyvaCon, hosted in Wytheville, VA, will be dealing with the invasion of the Cordova on July 27 -- 29. I'm on a few panels (and I … Continue reading Last Second Con Addition

As always, Brandy and her crew put on one amazing shindig and I had a great time! It was especially notable because not only did I manage to sell a lot of stickers to support my campaign election, but I got to hear a massive HOON! in the process. But I'm getting ahead of myself … Continue reading Libertycon XXXI AAR

First, some background. I have quite a few publishers (fourteen to be exact), with the largest being my Japanese publisher Takeshobo. They did the Japanese translation and distribution of the Kaiju Apocalypse trilogy as a single book. I'm not hear to talk about them, though. The publishers I'm talking about today, however, are Chris Kennedy Publishing and Baen … Continue reading Exciting News

It's that time of the year again. Time to dust off the lanyard and hoist the black flag, because we're going to Libertycon! (probably) This year's schedule is packed. I'm busy from the moment the con opens at 1:00PM Friday afternoon until closing ceremonies on Sunday. I will be out and about like a madman and … Continue reading Libertycon 2018 Schedule

Sometimes when I'm at work I lose track of days. It's not really surprising when I think it's a Saturday and I realize no, it's a Wednesday. ....today is still Tuesday, yeah? Wrote quite a goodly chunk on Deathlords today. I'm really feeling it right now and seeds of the fabled plot crop I planted in Wraithkin are finally … Continue reading Brief Update for the Masses

13 days and counting for Darkling's release. I'm excited. I've taken to calling fans of the Kin Wars Saga "Kinions". I'm clever like that. Book 3 of the series, Deathlords, is still motoring along. I'm fixing a few problems in the early goings of the book while continuing some of the more exciting bits later. I'm also having … Continue reading 13 Days and Easter

My interview with SF Shenanigans went live yesterday. Had a lot of fun with JR and Chris as we discussed the new subgenre of LitRPG and how The Warp falls into that category. We also discussed early influences and how I totally fanboi'd Timothy Zahn the first time I met him. Interview here  

Got an email from another publisher this past week explaining that the next anthology I'm in, Sha'Daa: Toys, is either going to come out at the end of March or mid-April. This is great actually, since mid-April is the same time that Darkling will be released. One week, two books... haven't done that since September of last year. … Continue reading More News of Books

Still writing, still forgetting to update the website regularly. Deathlords is currently just over 50% complete. I had to go back and delete some stuff due to it simply not working, but the goal of having it done and turned in by April 30 is good. I estimate getting it to the First Readers by April … Continue reading March Update

I just got over some viral infection (yay!) so things have been slow around at Casa Cordova these past few weeks. I am definitely looking forward to the release of Darkling on April 13, 2018. I am also still hard at work on Deathlords, which is looking more and more like a Libertycon 31 release (June 29-July … Continue reading Brief Update

Turned in the completed Darkling to my publisher over at Theogony Books and am super excited about this. So far the First Reader responses have been far more enthusiastic over this book than they were with Wraithkin, which is saying something. Already 30% of the way through Deathlords as well. The deeper I get into this series the easier it's becoming … Continue reading Turned In
