I think I'm starting to get into a groove here with both writing, working and reviewing. Somehow I found the energy to juggle all of them while pretending to have this wild and crazy life. I wish I could claim it's been enlightening, but really it's just a lot of Pepsi. My heart really won't … Continue reading In A Groove

Holy Crap Jason Survived Another Con
Ah, time for the semi-annual "Holy Crap Jason Survived Another Con" After Action Review (henceforth to be called AAR because, well, I'm lazy). For past AAR's, click here, here and here. I rolled out of Lexington a little later than I thought I would (expected to be on the road by 0900, was really on … Continue reading Holy Crap Jason Survived Another Con

See You
I'll be leaving for MidSouthCon tomorrow morning, so this'll be a short update. Don't forget to get your free download of Janet Morris' Beyond Sanctuary today. I don't know how long it'll be at Amazon for free, so you should run and grab a copy now (just in case). No news on the publication date for anything … Continue reading See You
C-4 and a Smile
Brief note today since I'm still feeling under the weather. Only seven more days until MidSouthCon. Looking forward to meeting lots of new people and establishing new contacts. I've been sitting on the publishing sidelines (as it were) for the past two years, and I think it's time to venture back into the madness of … Continue reading C-4 and a Smile

Olympic Sport of Procrastinating
There is a male cardinal on my bird feeder right now, tormenting my kitties. He chirps, they chirp back. The brainwashing has begun. Excellent... Received my first royalty check last week and (I'm rich! Rich! Bite me, haters! Muwahaha!) can now buy myself dinner. Yeah, really. Authors don't generally make a lot of money, you know? … Continue reading Olympic Sport of Procrastinating
God I’m Insane
I think I'm about ready to stop watching Glee. I've watched as these characters have grown, changed, grown, changed, turned around, went back to who they were originally, change, be thrust to the front, change, get cast to the background, change... you see a pattern here? Every single time you start to enjoy a character on the … Continue reading God I’m Insane
War and Books
I need to write up something about ergonomic growth for work today. Blargh. I had my sights set on some Wraithkin and Wraithguard, damn it, not some thing about team motivation and growth. I went and got Joe Haldeman's The Forever War yesterday (along with Alison Weir's The Wars of the Roses) and I must say, The Forever War is a … Continue reading War and Books
Saturday Posting Storm
It's Saturday and I am very pleased to announce that I survived the super storm that hit Kentucky yesterday. I got a little bit of hail, lots of rain and some freaked out kitties. To the north and south of us, not so lucky. Remember, donate blood people. It'll help. Other than that, just the … Continue reading Saturday Posting Storm
Quack Quack Quack
I really feel what Amanda is talking about here. We authors forget that oftentimes, the middleman is more of a gatekeeper these days than the gatekeepers (traditional and non-traditional publishers) are. This article was reblogged from Mad Genius Club and is their property. I did not steal it, merely helping them spread the word.
A Sunday Off
Over at Shiny Book Review we had a contest. Only 7 people entered, so choosing the winner was rather easy. We took an advanced randomization table, inserted a linear graph to calculate, used a high-tech algorithm to determine that our randomness was completely random, and then we drew straws to see which program would run first. Suffice … Continue reading A Sunday Off
