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”
Book Release!
No, not for me, actually. Kaiju Apocalypse will be coming out soon, I promise. My friend (and regular commentator here, as well as reviewer over at Shiny Book Review) Barb Caffrey's debut novel, An Elfy on the Loose, came out the other day and... I completely forgot to mention it. I'm horrible. Basically, this is a quirky little … Continue reading Book Release!
Quick Breath
Working on Murder World today. I think Eric and I have had a breakthrough with this novel. Hopefully it'll be done by June. It's about 1/4 to 1/3 done at the moment. Just coming up for air. I'll have a new review coming up on SBR tonight as well. I'm not sure what book, mind you. But it'll be … Continue reading Quick Breath
The Collaborator
Just a few thoughts on collaboration and how to find "The One". Ack. Really Jason? Reeeeeeally?
Another Cover Reveal
By far a favorite cover of mine. Kaiju Apocalypse, coauthored with the amazing Eric S. Brown. Coming soon from Severed Press.
Brief Update
Put a new review up over at SBR tonight. It's the debut novel of Tiger Gray, called No Deadly Thing. I think the title was a bit misleading, since there were many deadly things about. It was passable, though I think that I was expecting much more. I'm growing more particular in the quality of novels … Continue reading Brief Update
March Madness Obligatory Update
My obligatory March Madness post... I actually started off pretty good, and am still in good form thanks to some timely upsets I predicted. I'm in the top 50 in my group (out of 8,000?) so go me. Best thing going: all four of my Final Four selections are alive and well. Bad Thing That … Continue reading March Madness Obligatory Update
Novella Sold
Kaiju Apocalypse, a novella I wrote with Eric S. Brown, was sold this morning to Severed Press. I'm very happy at this, since it's been about a month since I sold anything and I was beginning to get antsy once more. Now I'm working on two things -- Prince of the Rotted, my Babylonian zombie story, and Murder … Continue reading Novella Sold
Brief Random Update
Random late night update! Brad Torgersen (really nice guy and author) recently talked about his decision to publish with Baen Books (one of my favorite publishers). Interesting read from both a professional point and a personal one. I'd recommend that you check it out, and wish Brad all the best with his future endeavors (why? … Continue reading Brief Random Update
Freehold Available
Three and a half years ago, I listed Michael Z. Williamson's Freehold as one of the most influential books I've ever read. That still remains true to this day. Today Freehold is available for free on Kindle over at Amazon. "Yeah, cool, so?" you might say. Well, there's another reason I'm posting this as well. A limited edition hardcover … Continue reading Freehold Available
Stupid Busy
I've been stupidly busy the past few weeks (to steal a line from my friend Gerry). This is going to be a long update, so you may want to grab something to drink, or let the dog out. First off, let me say that Mysticon 2014 was an absolute blast. It went off without a … Continue reading Stupid Busy
