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

March Update
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
Brief 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
Release Date Announcement
Darkling will be live and on sale April 13, 2018. **cue dramatic screaming from my tens of fans** Book 2 of the Kin Wars Saga will continue the story of Gabriel and Andrew, as well as introducing a new set of eyes to the novel. It also tears your freaking heart out (so I'm told by first … Continue reading Release Date Announcement
Turned In
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
Book Release Day!
It's release day for Devastator, book 2 of The Warp and direct sequel to Corruptor, the very first novel I had published under my own name. Let's get that Amazon rank up there and leave some reviews so people will think "Hey, fun YA that's age-appropriate!"
Finished and Other News
Two things... First off, Darkling is finished! It's now off and in the hands of the Super Mega Awesome Beta Force Crew for dissemination and assassination. Book 2 of the Kin Wars Saga had a ton of heartache, loyalty, and betrayal. Let the song of victory play! https://youtu.be/MH9FyLsfDzw Secondly, my article about the current kerfuffle within the … Continue reading Finished and Other News
2017 Year In Review
2017 was a strange year. It had some tremendous highs and a few lows. The hardest part of the year was putting down Wally-cat. He was still a young cat (6 years old) when the decision was made. He was suffering from kidney failure and it was a genetic thing that nobody caught until he … Continue reading 2017 Year In Review
19 Days
...until Devastator is live. Not that I'm counting. Yesterday I was going through Darkling before I started really cranking it out and finishing it up by New Year's (that's my goal) when I realized that I had an empty chapter placeholder just... sitting there. Like that puppy in the window that nobody wants, Chapter 11 was just staring at … Continue reading 19 Days
22 Day Countdown
22 days and counting until Book 2 of The Warp is released. Devastator is, in my opinion, a terrific story. The pacing is fast, which is typical for me, but the story unfolds at just the right amount of time. Drama? Got it. Love story? Check. 22 days. Start the countdown. In the meanwhile, I'll be finishing up Darkling, … Continue reading 22 Day Countdown
The Hoarding of Words
I typically don’t read books while I’m writing one of my own. Call it undue influence because yes, I am influenced by books which I read and enjoy. So for me to pick up a book and read it from start to finish in two days while writing “Darkling” is a strange occurrence. Nonetheless, I … Continue reading The Hoarding of Words
Book Cover Reveal
Also in the news today, Book 2 of The Warp has been turned in. As a prize, my publisher let me show off the latest cover for Devastator. The long-awaited sequel to Corruptor is much better (in my opinion) though a bit shorter. I can't wait to see this book in print next year.
Book Release Day!
I do seem to be having a lot of these lately, don't I? The Good, The Bad, and The Merc is currently live on Amazon. My short story, Keep the Home Fires Burning, continues the tale of the Kakata Korps as they take a new contract and discover a new purpose in life. I really enjoy writing … Continue reading Book Release Day!
Wronged Way
Cedar had an interesting post yesterday over at the Mad Genius Club (I actually missed the original post because I've been buried by basketball and finishing a book) and after reading it, I got to thinking (run! hide the women and children! he had two brain cells crash into one another on accident!) about professionalism … Continue reading Wronged Way
Turnaround
It's basketball season at last and I of course forgot my day over at the Mad Genius Club. Undoubtedly this will lead to me being replaced by someone crazier than I. Just a quick update letting everyone know that I'm still around. Turned in Devastator last week and am almost finished with Deathlord. Meanwhile, Keep the Home Fires Burning is coming … Continue reading Turnaround
