Wrapping up Wraithkin as we speak, which is why I haven't been around much (or doing reviews lately). It's almost ready for beta reader squad to tear it apart and point out the inconsistencies (I know they're there, I just can never find them) and horrid dialogue. I also need to make a few chapters darker than … Continue reading Fanboy

Tentative World Domination Plans (v1.2.1)
It actually took me a few minutes to realize that today was Friday. Wow, where has the week gone? My computer is making that "I'm dying" sound again, which comes at a really, really bad time. I haven't found a laptop I want to drop money on yet. This machine needs to understand that it … Continue reading Tentative World Domination Plans (v1.2.1)
LC26 AAR
Ah, Libertycon... where sleep goes to die. As usual, I had a blast at the convention and would like to thank Brandy and Derek Spraker, as well as the rest of the Libertycon staff, for putting on one hell of a con. The food was good (except I forgot to mention my onion allergy, which … Continue reading LC26 AAR
Libertycon 26 Schedule
I meant to do this last week but real life interfered. Okay, so here is my schedule (according to the LC26 website): FRIDAY 5:00 PM -- Opening Ceremonies: Pretty self explanatory, though I may just be hanging out near the back of the room. That's where I usually am during huge crowd gatherings, since I don't … Continue reading Libertycon 26 Schedule
Andrew Fox Article
I met Andrew Fox at Mysticon in 2011 for the first time and quickly became a fan. I loved his Fat White Vampire Blues and I've been remiss because I have yet to read the sequel. Many people in and out of the SFWA community have lambasted Mike Resnick and Barry Malzberg for being "sexist", "mysoginist", and … Continue reading Andrew Fox Article
The Right to Nothing
I'm getting political here. I'm not apologizing about it, either. When was the last time you said something, seemingly innocent, and someone chided you for it because it didn't fit their world view? Like, for example, a friend of mine laughed at the fact that Christians believe that when they die they go to heaven. … Continue reading The Right to Nothing
Dreamers in Hell Available
Dreamers in Hell is now available for Kindle over at Amazon. The print version should be up within 24 hours (if, like me, that's what you prefer). I'm pretty certain that if you order by the end of the week, you'll have it in your hands in time to get 13 of the authors to sign … Continue reading Dreamers in Hell Available
Trolling For Love
I made a huge mistake today. I got sucked back into Wikipedia. There's just something amazingly addictive about updating wiki pages while adding information, updating, and even deleting irrelevant material. It's not as though I have nothing else to do (he writes as he stares at the open word document which has been mocking him … Continue reading Trolling For Love
Remove Blockage Here
I'm doing some random posting today, so if you don't want to read a very meandering post, kindly step away from the computer. It'll be for the best. I'm stuck. I'm really effing stuck. Not a writer's block, no. It's more of a "this character did this and now she's got me stuck" kind of … Continue reading Remove Blockage Here
Dreamers in Hell cover
This is the absolutely gorgeous cover for the latest anthology I'm in, coming out at the end of this month. Dreamers in Hell contains my short Ponce de Leon story, In the Shadow of Paradise. It should be on sale at Libertycon, where many of the authors (16? 17?) featured in the book will be on hand to sign copies.
Is This Thing On?
So I've been too busy to do as many book reviews as I would like to over at Shiny Book Review. So like Professor Xavier, I've been recruiting an elite force of like-minded individuals. And recruiting new reviewers leads to... the review I got this morning from a friend of mine. The level of epic that … Continue reading Is This Thing On?
Contract Sent
Mailed off the contract for Dreamers in Hell today, which is a load off my chest. If you recall, In the Shadow of Paradise was supposed to be out in Rogues in Hell last year, but issues put it back a book. That's okay, because it's officially coming out this year. My Juan Ponce de Leon story is finally coming to … Continue reading Contract Sent
Lost
I was going to review Kristen Simmons' Article 5 over at SBR today but... well, you ever read a book that twigged your brain? I mean, one that really, really made you sit up and think "What the hell is this writer on?" As an author, I know how hard it is to write a book. To … Continue reading Lost
Editin’
I'm doing some editing on Hill 142 right now, thanks to my newly-appointed Beta Readers. Alpha Reader took a backseat to this one, primarily because she doesn't know the subject matter. Plus, she's busy. I also just signed up to do six additional anthologies. I don't know what the hell I was thinking but, again, it should … Continue reading Editin’
Push Them Good
So that "I ran 2.5 miles and it didn't hurt" thing I was talking about the other day? Owww... It took a day for it to catch up with me, but for the past two days I've been walking around like an 80 year old arthritic man. My hips -- hips! -- hurt, and I … Continue reading Push Them Good
