The inaugural Dragon Awards (hosted by Dragoncon, the biggest party for nerds in the entire southeastern U.S.) went off smashingly. I can't wait for them to release the results numbers so we can see just how many people actually voted. I'm going to throw out a number and say... hmm... 10,000. While that may seem … Continue reading The Dragon Awards

No Saving Today
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
Libertycon XXIX AAR — The Black Tide Rising Edition
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
Quick Update
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
Libertycon 29 Schedule
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
Release Day
BLACK TIDE RISING IS OUT TODAY Just thought you should know...
17 Days
I really need to focus more on, uh, everything I have going on. Talk about a lot of projects! Between work and writing I almost have zero free time, so things like this and SBR get shuffled off to the side. I wrote an article explaining why I broke my age-old rule about not writing … Continue reading 17 Days
Condensed Update
I've been very, very bad about updating lately. I blame it on my awesome new job. There's a lot to cover, and not that much time, so I'll try to give you the condensed "Jason's Recent Life!!!" version of things. Writing: Kraken Mare has done exceptionally well these past few months, hanging out in numbers that are … Continue reading Condensed Update
Changing With Every Read
While one would think that the lack of reviews for Kraken Mare (currently with two reviews only, even though both are good) I would be a sad camper. Except, as I said the other day, one cannot eat reviews. The upside to the lack of reviews is that they don't seem to be affecting sales in any … Continue reading Changing With Every Read
Can You Eat Reviews?
Dream job? AWESOME!!! Lone downside? Lack of writing time. But still, this is the job that I have been searching for since I quit teaching 11 years ago (holy crap... 11 years? Really??). It's great that I have the opportunity to help young boys become men and teach them how to go about it. I … Continue reading Can You Eat Reviews?
Reviews
One of the things I hate to sound like is a broken record. One of the things I hate to... You get the point. Sarcasm aside, I really would like to implore readers to review the books they read over on Amazon. It helps spread the word and get the author noticed in the midst … Continue reading Reviews
Kraken Mare Is Live
Kraken Mare just went live over at Amazon. Read it, share it, review it. Support your local crazy writer! ...okay, disturbed writer? ...confused? Yes, confused writer!
Cover Reveal
So Chris and I are highly amused by this cover because his name is first (even though it should have been mine). Unfortunately for me, it works better aesthetically if his name is first. So I got to give Chris a lot of grief late last night when I showed it to him (many thanks … Continue reading Cover Reveal
Sponsor the Charity, Buy the Shirt
So I'm on a shirt! Okay, some back story here... I help out quite a bit with the charity Operation Supply Drop, which helps get video games and other entertainment devices into the hands of deployed troops overseas who have no other way to relax in their downtime, as well as help returning veterans readjust back into … Continue reading Sponsor the Charity, Buy the Shirt
Scary Tales in Publishing
(Warning: this contains spoilers for Ctrl-Alt-Revolt! Continue at your own risk) As a writer, one of the things I dread more than anything else is the editor's response to the finished product. Oh sure, gutting it on your own to clean it up and make it acceptable for publishing is hard enough. But having a professional … Continue reading Scary Tales in Publishing
