Finally got around to reviewing The Kingmakers. Too bad for you that it's not being posted for another two weeks. Why? Well, because the book doesn't come out until Sept 4. The first Failsafe novel (right now, tentatively titled Beneath A Banner Burned) is moving very, very nicely along. I don't know what it is about brunette air … Continue reading Whooshing

Craptacular
I'm under the weather (seriously, I'm sick and a storm front is moving in) so this'll be short.I'm alive, am reasonably well and things are a-movin' in the fiction-verse. I'll be published in 3 books this fall, which is up from the two I originally thought I was going to be limited to. More info … Continue reading Craptacular
Saving Yourself From Yourself
I have to admit, I'm not a fan of Apple. Oh, I have an iPhone, don't get me wrong. I like it. It works for me and it does what I want it to do. That being said, I don't worship at the altar of Jobs. I don't drink the Kool-Aid. I don't hand Apple … Continue reading Saving Yourself From Yourself
Wibbly-Wobbly
Oh wow, a day off from work. I think I remember what these feel like. I'm supposed to, uh... rest? I dunno. As I mentioned the other day, I'm waiting on two more submissions I have out right now. One of them have great chances of being picked up by the editor; the other was an … Continue reading Wibbly-Wobbly
Another Story
Just got word that I've been accepted (officially) into the next Dreams of Steam anthology from Kerlak. My short, "The Finder's Keeper", can be previewed here. I'll have a link and cover art as soon as I have it. Waiting on news for two more stories. Meanwhile, am working nonstop and am in the midst of a damn-near … Continue reading Another Story
Amerika ist Wunderbar
I've watched the simmering pot boil over this weekend and not said anything, partly because all of the facts aren't in (and probably will never be in) and partly because a lot of people have such a difficult time comprehending how someone can go into a public place and do such a thing. This isn't … Continue reading Amerika ist Wunderbar
Interviewed-ish
Hey, someone felt sorry for me and went ahead and let my muse speak. Scary, right? Well, here's the link. Also, writing. I'll be around for a real update soon.
Brainfart Week
Total. Mental. Brainfart. FandomFest went well enough I suppose, though half of my time there was spent trying to find my panel rooms. The hotel was a rat maze that begged to be used in a horror flick ala Saw. Jigsaw would have a field day with the crazy assed layout of the Galt House … Continue reading Brainfart Week
This Weekend
Working under a deadline, plus the "real" job which pays for everything, leads to a frustrated writer forgetting to update his website. On the plus side, I'll be returning to FandomFest for a Saturday-only engagement this weekend. You may remember last year's AAR of the event (most of you found this place due to said … Continue reading This Weekend
Father’s Day
20 very short years ago, I met my dad for this first time. April 26, 1992 (thank you Sublime for making the greatest day in my life the opening lyrics of your most controversial song... hard to forget that day) Oh, he wasn't a dead-beat dad or anything like that at all. I was a … Continue reading Father’s Day
Panic Attack Moment
I literally had to stop writing a few minutes ago. I started having horrible flashbacks and -- I think -- a panic attack. That was odd. I've never had one before. Recap: 11 years ago my older brother Shawn committed suicide. I was 23 at the time and he was pretty much the only sibling … Continue reading Panic Attack Moment
Will another one bite the dust?
Will another one bite the dust?. Amanda Green pretty much explains it all. You might want to listen to her.
Is the Agent Correct?
I was coming up with a blog for today about agents in the field when someone popped a comment into a post I wrote a year and a half ago (you know, like, back in the neolithic era?). It gave me a good excuse to revisit something I mentioned over at Sarah Hoyt's blog last … Continue reading Is the Agent Correct?
Major Distraction
It's not as though I need any excuses to be lazy about finishing this book but... ...this cat is not helping. No, really. He's not "directing the muse" or "whispering ideas into my ear". He's messing with me. Really. I blame him for my missed deadlines. It's his fault.
Advice Sought
I'm a little sad. I feel like my desktop, which has traveled across the country with me (and halfway back) is on its last legs. I'd been having issues with the video card for a while now (had to replace the old one two years ago), and I'm not the best about remembering to get … Continue reading Advice Sought
