A lot of people were probably expecting a 9/11 post from me. I decided that enough people were paying their respects so I saved my electrons. Instead, I'm pimping the book (again). If you go here, you can find Corruptor on sale (print version) for only $11.89. That's eight bucks cheaper than my publisher is … Continue reading Burnt Marshmallow

Two Down, Three To Go
Fired off The Cold to the editor this morning after anguishing over it for two hours this morning. It appears to be done but I'm my own harshest critic, so I was very anxious this morning. Nonetheless, it's off, out of my hands, waiting for approval. That frees me up to do more writing, including wrapping … Continue reading Two Down, Three To Go
It’s Cold Here
Dreary, rainy days are the best. The cold days let my brain finally turn around and say "Hey, we can write" while the rest of my house is freezing. Of course, this means I'm wearing a heavy sweater and am barefoot (after all, writer's are quirky, aren't they?). But this is a good thing, since … Continue reading It’s Cold Here
Spam! Thwack!
Dear Spammers: Please, please, please try harder to defeat my spam filters. It's very easy to discern who you are when you tell me I have "an respectable webblog". Please. There's nothing respectable here. Also: better update tomorrow. Right now my brain is deep fried (like Twinkies but less tasty, unless you're a zombie). I'm … Continue reading Spam! Thwack!
Promotional Quandary
I've been watching my sales numbers slide (okay, dive bombing into ruin) and I can't help but to wonder, "How do I reverse this trend?" A number of options came to mind. The first, naturally, is to sell the sequel. The problem is, the sequel isn't done (and I doubt the publisher would touch it … Continue reading Promotional Quandary
Dark Abyss
There's persistence in this business. It's how the majority of us writers get published. I was thinking about persistence today at work and how it feels oftentimes that I am busting my butt for nothing. I realized that this was the same exact feeling I got back in 2009 when I hadn't sold a book … Continue reading Dark Abyss
Shakespeare
So today Sarah Hoyt is talking about outlining over at her blog. It's a fascinating piece that really can help aspiring authors (if they're really looking for help rather than finding a medium to bitch to about how the publishing world is out to get them) and actually made me stop and think about my … Continue reading Shakespeare
Laying Waste To My Sanity
Exhaustion is laying waste to my sanity. This is exciting. I have named it Godzilla. Exhaustion, not my sanity. Now that I am (more or less) settled into my new place, I can start doing Shiny Book Review once more. I'll have to contact all those poor publishers who had been holding off sending us … Continue reading Laying Waste To My Sanity
Pic
Having some fun with the new phone. It takes pictures. I leave you with this for now.
Test Post
Just trying out my website features with my iPhone. I have it set up so that it looks decent if you follow this on a smart phone or tablet. This is sooooo dang cool.
Wraithkin Society
So I was doing some more thinking today about Wraithkin and the series as a whole, and comparing a lot of it to today's society. I wasn't pleased with my thought process. Someone asked on Facebook the other day "When did you decide to be straight?", in regards to an argument about whether or not … Continue reading Wraithkin Society
Memorably Bloody Death
I still don't have the internet at my new place, so for now I'm forced to come into work 4 hours early to get some work done. It's not bad (free drinks) but still, hard to work on some stuff while in public. The right ambience is hard to achieve while you're listening to some … Continue reading Memorably Bloody Death
In Need of Redshirts
"I gave everything, and all I got was a lousy 'Thank you for your service' letter." "Better than a closed casket funeral and a flag for momma." "...point. But would getting paid on time be too much to ask?" "And where you going to spend the money? I haven't seen any sign of a store … Continue reading In Need of Redshirts
Whoosh!
London's burning, and Tehran is asking for the London police to exercise restraint during the riots. ...seriously, I did not pull this off of The Onion. Irony aside (or is that not irony? I get so confused...), I'm currently bogged down with writing. Updating here is becoming difficult as I prepare to move into my … Continue reading Whoosh!
Today’s Word Is — DUH
Damn you, Larry Correia! My posts don't usually start off as kindly as this, but this morning I had this horrible epiphany for Wraithkin, due to a Larry Correia (author of Monster Hunter International, Monster Hunter Vendetta, Monster Hunter Alpha, and so on) post I happened across from a year or so ago. It was basically … Continue reading Today’s Word Is — DUH
