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

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

...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 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

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

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.

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!

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

There are days where everything you touch turns to gold, where the people who follow you walk along the streets and sing your praises and the marching band behind them is in perfect formation as they play "Louie, Louie". The days where the heaven and earth both rejoice in the absolute amazing day that you … Continue reading The Streets Are Paved With Gold and Broken Dreams

This is actually pretty cool. In 2014 my coauthor (Eric S. Brown) and I wrote a "trilogy" (more like one book split into 3 novellas) called the Kaiju Apocalypse series.. It made us a bit of money and we actually hit the bestseller list with it for about two weeks. In 2016 the largest publisher … Continue reading Cover Reveal (Again)!
