You know, before the Uncle Timmy Witch Hunt began, I was so pleased with yesterday. It had been a gorgeous day in which I accomplished quite a bit (wrote 4,500 words, continued working on fencing in the backyard, kept Sophie from killing a couple of snakes) and I took a picture of the sunset on … Continue reading 12 Hours

Uncle Timmy and the Thought Police
I'm going to tell you a little story about a good man who has been slandered and libeled by one individual who is hiding behind the anonymity of the Internets. That good man? Tim "Uncle Timmy" Bolgeo. You see, a pathetic troll whose name I'm not going to bother typing (because it's a nickname that … Continue reading Uncle Timmy and the Thought Police
Too Much Gloat
It never ceases to amaze me just how much an author will research just for one freaking line in a book... I actually got to utter this sentence tonight while working on Kaiju Armageddon. I mean, between researching the vagus nerve and then radio wave transmission to Ceres and the asteroid belt, I've really messed with … Continue reading Too Much Gloat
Lost Words
Yesterday I had this wonderful 1800 word update ready to go up and I promptly deleted it all by pushing the wrong button. Since I don't type up blog posts first on a word document, then paste it here, everything was completely loss. Angered (at myself, because when I go dumbass, I don't do it by … Continue reading Lost Words
Cover Reveal! Murder World: Kaiju Dawn
Similar in appearance to Kaiju Apocalypse (but a different universe and story altogether, I promise) here is the rough draft cover for Murder World: Kaiju Dawn. Co-authored with Eric S. Brown again (we make quite the team -- this is the third book we've collaborated on in the past 8 months), it should see a release over the next … Continue reading Cover Reveal! Murder World: Kaiju Dawn
Sold! And Please Tip Your Waiter
That turnaround time has to be some sort of record. Murder World has a new title and a home. Severed Press (those who brought you Kaiju Apocalypse by myself and Eric S. Brown) bought it Wednesday morning (less than 12 hours after we finished it), and we decided to go with a different title. It's now Murder World: Kaiju Dawn. Why … Continue reading Sold! And Please Tip Your Waiter
Murder World Complete
Finished Murder World today. Clocking in at around 52,500 words, it's quite frankly one hellishly fun and exciting book. I love each and every one of the characters, and whenever I killed one, I almost felt bad for them (almost... I've been watching a lot of Game of Thrones lately). Right now the Super Awesome Beta Reader Team is … Continue reading Murder World Complete
Blogged Elsewhere Today
Blogged this morning over at the Mad Genius Club about trigger warnings (and my absolute and utter hatred of them). I used .gifs. They're enjoyable.
All About
First off, I wanted to thank everyone who bought a copy of Kaiju Apocalypse this weekend. Cracking the Top 100 in multiple genres was... well, it blew my mind. The sales are still going (#18,000 or so last I checked... if you bought it, by the way, have you reviewed it yet? That helps even more!), and … Continue reading All About
Kaiju Day 3
I'll be out all day, but I woke up to something wonderful this morning. Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #7,009 Paid in Kindle Store (See Top 100 Paid in Kindle Store) #59 in Books > Science Fiction & Fantasy > Science Fiction > Military #73 in Books > Science Fiction & Fantasy > Science Fiction > Post-Apocalyptic #82 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Science Fiction & Fantasy > Science Fiction > Military Yeah, totally made my day/year. If I ever have … Continue reading Kaiju Day 3
Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy — Sam Schall’s “Vengeance From Ashes”
I'll be reviewing this SF novel next week (probably Monday) but I wanted to give this one a "shout out" right now. Oh, and quit judging books by their covers. It's rude. This is one of those military SF novels that grabs you and won't let go. I've taken my time reading it these past … Continue reading Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy — Sam Schall’s “Vengeance From Ashes”
Kaiju Day 2
So one of my friends posted the following on Facebook: Hey folks, does your life not have enough excitement? wah wah music plays> Do you long for the days of being able to pick up a book and lose yourself in the heroic struggles of man against 300 ft. tall alien/dragon/dinosaur things? Was 'Pacific Rim' … Continue reading Kaiju Day 2
It’s Here!
Big news today! Kaiju Apocalypse is out and available via ebook over on Amazon. Best part about this? Amazon Prime members get it for free! Yeah, thought that would get your attention. So go forth, buy it, pay for my kitties' kibble (and Sophie's treats). If you don't, you probably don't love kitties and puppies and, more … Continue reading It’s Here!
Coming Soon
Final proof copy of Kaiju Apocalypse was turned in late last night (I think I finished going over it at around 0045). There were some formatting issues (what is it with me and screwed-up formatting?) but nothing I couldn't handle. It should be out any day now in ebook format (and maybe print). It'll be my first … Continue reading Coming Soon
Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy — Brandon Ford’s “Open Wounds”
I need to dress up in the most over-the-top caricature of a pimp, take a picture, and have one day every week where the "Book Pimp" pimps out a new author's work. I'm picturing a gold came, platform shoes (with goldfish inside them), feather boa, large hat, maybe a bright purple suit and... hmm... rose-tinted … Continue reading Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy — Brandon Ford’s “Open Wounds”
