Short story, published February 2014 (Alternate History) Crouching Seal, Sleeping Dragon -- Sha'Daa: Tales of the Apocalypse (2nd Edition, reprint), from MoonDream … Continue reading That Busy 2014

Book Bomb! Sad Puppies 3 Best Short Story suggestions. Share and revel, and help these authors out.

I'm having some slight difficulties right now working through Kraken Mare. It's not because I don't get the story, because that's pretty easy. Supporting characters? Got those in spades. Bad guy(s)? Oh yeah, covered. Science? Science! No, I think the reason I'm having difficulties right now is because I'm happy, and the protagonist of my story … Continue reading Into the Mind of the Imaginary

You would think I would know better than to ask a small, insular, cliquish community "seriously, can you get any dumber?" You would think that, after a year of relentless attacks against my family and friends, I would know simply not to wonder how far these people will stoop. I need to quit being surprised. … Continue reading The Pendulum Swings

I've been a huge slacker, but Barb hasn't and remains awesome. Go check out her latest review over at SBR.

I typically don't write on Saturdays. It's usually my one day where I can sit back, play tanks, maybe some Civ5 or CivBE, and generally be lazy. It's the only day That I remind myself that it's my recharge day. Which is why this morning's little flurry of output was so strange. This book (Kraken … Continue reading Back to Writing

Lo and behold, The Hand of God is now available on Kindle for only $3.99. This book is easily on par with Murder World: Kaiju Dawn, though it is much more … Continue reading Book Release!

I got my Hugo nominations in yesterday. I realized that I am very choosy when it comes to some things, like TV shows and short stories. Movies I can generally suffer through (I've got a track record of sitting through the worst freaking movies out there) but TV shows? If they're boring, I fast forward … Continue reading Weirdness

Bringing us all back to the old school days of science fiction, the cover for my next book with Eric S. Brown has been released. This is just a preliminary cover, and I'm still waiting on the final, but I immediately thought "It's an Asimov cover!" when I saw it. So what do you think? … Continue reading Cover Release

To all of you who have just discovered this place after seeing my name batted around on the internet yesterday and found yourselves asking "Who the hell is this guy?", I welcome you. Keurig's in the corner. Don't touch my Sumatra. Imagine my surprise yesterday upon waking up and discovering that I am on the … Continue reading Hugo Sad Puppies Slate

Starting today, and running through this coming Thursday, The Dead of Babylon will be on sale for free. Yeah, you read that right. Free. Which means... it's not a sale, I'm giving it away. Why? Why not? It's a fun story that had sold decently well over on Amazon ($0.99 normally) so I figured that I … Continue reading Free Stuff

I have one of those migraines everyone keeps going on about. Popped some Advil, so I hope that eventually it'll go away and I can get to work. However, the lack of writing this morning is a boon for you, intrepid visitor (you're not, uh, here by accident, right? This was all planned?). A boon … Continue reading Lots of Hate

Murder World: Kaiju Dawn  is currently on sale for only $0.99 on Kindle over at Amazon. Spend the buck; it's well worth it.

So I'm finally moved into the new house and internet has been restored. However, there are still a ton of boxes to unpack (how did I accumulate this much crap?!) and bookshelves to purchase. I literally had over 20 good sized boxes packed with books and even putting paperbacks behind one another to save space … Continue reading Off With A Bang
