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
Little Ball of Mud
There's some weird things going on in the world right now that are just begging for me to voice my little old opinion on. The first thing is US politics. I hate politics, but the more I watch nut jobs on both sides speak for the 80% of the rest of us, the more I'm convinced that the King/Queen/Senate idea … Continue reading Little Ball of Mud
New Book Cover Announcement
New anthology coming this fall that my story is featured in. This is your warning. Prepare for the Sha'Daa, for it is coming... Edit: the first one was not the right one. Oops.
Memorial Day
Bravery doesn't end when a hero comes home. Celebrate Memorial Day and remember all those who have given their time and more for us.
Where Have All The Villains Gone?
I was responding to something that my computer did to me this morning (stupid cheating AI doesn't know that I know he's cheating so I won't slaughter him in Stronghold Legends...) when it occurred to me that I only enjoy certain types of villains. And believe me, stupid, crushing everything mad "I'm the villain!" characters … Continue reading Where Have All The Villains Gone?
Well Paid Hack
Not apologizing for the lack of updates. Would you rather read this or read something in print (or e-book)? Thought so. Yes, I was working on Wraithkin and Failsafe. I'm also working on Heroes & Rogues, which needs to be done in about two weeks. Oops. I keep linking to both Amanda Green's and Sarah Hoyt's blogs because of … Continue reading Well Paid Hack
When To Say When
I normally try to stay out of politics on here, but friend and author KT Pinto made a very good point earlier today: Never believe what a politician says as a general principle, but especially when they are trying to win an election. It takes a brave man to have a startling revelation, it takes … Continue reading When To Say When
