Time sure does fly. I've been working a lot and wrapping up the basketball season. First year with a new offense, only 1 returning starter and a bunch of young guys and we finished at 10-19. Not too bad, considering. In the month of February it finally clicked and our PPG went up by almost … Continue reading Keeping Busy

Man, basketball season has pretty much sucked away my entire life. With practice almost every day and at least 2 games a week, and my regular 100+ hour work week schedule thrown in on top, it's a wonder I even remember what my house looks like. We've gone through some major improvements as we get deeper … Continue reading A Basketball Update

Just a quick update while on "vacation". Wraithkin is doing exceptionally well still, staying around the ranking I had anticipated while the holiday season is still in full effect. I'm hoping that the first two weeks in January see an increase in sales since that's usually the time people start to buy their books again. Saw … Continue reading Update and Merry Christmas

Between being deathly ill, work, and basketball, I have been unable to accomplish much lately. First, the bad. I had pneumonia. It was bad enough to absolutely level me for over two weeks and I'm still not 100% better. However, I felt well enough to return to work (albeit in a limited capacity) so there … Continue reading That Random Update

It's cover reveal day here and I am pleased to show off the cover for Wraithkin, Book 1 of a brand new series. Look at the texture, the color, the gorgeousness... ... ...you want to see it now, don't you? Fine, I'll quit yammering about it.

I feel like I just updated the site and yet it's almost been a month since my last post. Wow... I'm having a HUGE cover reveal here on Friday, November 18th. There will be dozens of people here to celebrate the cover reveal of Wraithkin, which is an absolutely GORGEOUS cover. It's my first "solo" book … Continue reading Ain’t No Time For Turkey

So the past two weeks have been very exciting. First off, there's a cover reveal for the next Baen Books anthology that I'm a part of. Forged in Blood, which is edited by Michael Z. Williamson and set in his Freehold universe, features my short story Magnum Opus, which is the story of Rowan Moran, an Operative before The War. It's … Continue reading Getting Progressively Better

Life has a way of grabbing you by the... nose and not letting go sometimes. I've been deep in Darkling the past month, adding to it whenever I can and trying to get this book done by Christmas. I have a plan for Christmas and I'm trying to see if it will happen. It's a "plan" inasmuch … Continue reading A Very Special Individual Indeed

My brain works weird. I was in the kitchen making dinner (and mentally writing Darkling, the sequel to Wraithkin), and my brain started thinking about my short story in the upcoming FREEHOLD anthology (ed. by Michael Z. Williamson). There's a part in the story (Magnum Opus) where it is revealed that my main character is gay. No big deal, he … Continue reading The Absolute Purity of Genetics and Life

So I'm finally caught up at work and have some free time so I can update the dang site. Not that there is a lot too update, other than being forced to buy a new car. Yeah, I bought a new car because the old one got totaled. No worries, no serious injuries, but damn it I wanted to … Continue reading No Saving Today

So LC29 is in the books and I for one had a blast. I got to meet more people (always fun) and talk with some of the biggest names in the field (always productive). I got to work out the details of a new project with coauthor Christopher L. Smith and watch an old friend … Continue reading Libertycon XXIX AAR — The Black Tide Rising Edition

Black Tide Rising is chugging along well from what I hear, with almost resoundingly positive reviews across the board. I'm pleased by this, because this means there could be a second story about my merry little band of intrepid thieves in the future. I still have two stories left in their little arc that I'd like to … Continue reading Quick Update

Weird. I've been going to this con now for 10 years now and I still feel as though it were just yesterday I was getting the email from Uncle Timmy of Libertycon saying "So do I need to add a 'Doctor' to your name as well?" Good times, and still my favorite con to attend. … Continue reading Libertycon 29 Schedule
