So today I was talking with my good friend Jonny and he reminded me about Emily's GoFundMe was currently ongoing and I really hadn't done much for it. Since I'm one of those "starving artists" type, I knew right away that I couldn't help much financially. However, it dawned on us that I could do … Continue reading The GoFundMe for Emily Mottesheard

Cover Reveal!
Isn't it pretty? It's so pretty! For this cover I managed to land the freakishly talented J. F. Posthumus to do the cover of the upcoming historical zombie story, The Dead of Babylon. It will be released on December 18th, just in time to satisfy your holiday horrorific cravings (even though it's set about 3000 years ago … Continue reading Cover Reveal!
The Obligatory Update
Despite my best efforts (I mentioned it on Facebook, once), I did not become a finalist on the Goodreads Choice Awards 2014 list for any of my stories or novels (SF, Horror or... uh... one of the others). Lamentations! Egads! And stuff. No, I'm actually rooting for Larry Correia to win Horror. Why Larry's Monster Hunter Nemesis got put in … Continue reading The Obligatory Update
Survived
I survived Honorcon. I'll have an update tomorrow, complete with an AAR and stuff. Right now I'm doing laundry and polishing up a story to send to potential new publisher. The time change is messing me up, by the way. I keep looking at the microwave and thinking "Damn, it's late" and then remembering that … Continue reading Survived
On Reviews For Authors
So at a very odd hour late last night, I went ahead and wrote a review over at Shiny Book Review. To say that it was an adventure is an understatement. Reputedly, this author has a history of lashing out at reviewers, so we'll see just how interesting things get around here. I mentioned elsewhere that … Continue reading On Reviews For Authors
No Time
T-minus five days and counting until Honorcon. You might be wondering what panels I'll be doing, or what I plan on talking about, but you may be surprised to know that I'm actually working this convention for The Official Honor Harrington Fan Association. Being the Volunteer Coordinator is, well, a job that nobody wanted so … Continue reading No Time
This is October? Nobody told me about the pumpkin spice latte!
Right, right... we're in October now, and dozens of people are waiting for some sort of update. First off, I've been biting my tongue a lot on the internet (you would be so proud) as I watch individuals become more idiotic with each passing breath. I know it's hard to build a following, people, but … Continue reading This is October? Nobody told me about the pumpkin spice latte!
Too Stubborn
Air! I can breathe! In all seriousness, it feels like I've been drowning in my writing the past few months. Ever since Eric and I wrapped up Kaiju Apocalypse III, it seems like my head has been underwater when it comes to writing. I may have burned myself out a bit (writing 4 books in 4 … Continue reading Too Stubborn
The World Done Lost Its Mind
Everywhere I look, people are accomplishing much to lower my opinion of the world that we are leaving behind. Firstly, Wesleyan University has recently ordered that fraternities who reside on campus permit women to join. This is absurd, because then comes the roundabout lawsuit requiring sororities to allow men to join its ranks. While this … Continue reading The World Done Lost Its Mind
New Book Out
Had a book come out last week and forgot to mention it. My first Tobias Fox short story, "Nightwalker", is the very first story in John Manning's Terror By Gaslight anthology. I'll be the first to admit that Tobias Fox stories are less about horror and more about an extraordinary man dealing with said horrors. Good story with … Continue reading New Book Out
Meet the Character — Vincente Huerta
(I was tagged in this by Amanda S. Green. She introduced her favorite character, Ashlyn Shaw, star of Vengeance From Ashes, here.) As I walked into the bar, I began to wonder just what the hell I was getting myself into this time. Sure, I'm the author, and I create these people, but some of them … Continue reading Meet the Character — Vincente Huerta
Digital Watermarking the Grave
Yesterday, over on Facebook, I kinda sorta touched on the new HarperCollins digital watermark, which is another updated rendition of their failed attempts (thus far, apparently) at a secure and impenetrable DRM. Those pesky pirates are costing publishers a lot of money, so of course the natural response is to put even more money into … Continue reading Digital Watermarking the Grave
A Good Thing
It's very strange to forget that you have a website. But since this past week I've been elbow deep in Murder World: Kaiju Dusk as well as my untitled piece for editor John Manning, combined with my article over at the Mad Genius Club, I'll just shrug my shoulders and say "I'm busy!" It's a good thing, really. … Continue reading A Good Thing
Brief Friday Update
Four hours of sleep is not enough, apparently. It's not conducive to writing. I'm falling behind schedule. It's a good thing that the publisher isn't rushing this sequel or else I could be in some trouble. I have a guest post up at Mad Genius Club. It was based on some thoughts I had yesterday … Continue reading Brief Friday Update
