Busy weekend, and this week isn't getting any easier. The brother of one of the guys at work was in a car crash and the coworker had to take off, which means a lot of shifts had to be covered. Enter SuperJason, with his amazing ability to fill in the gaps. I picked up about … Continue reading Yippee!

Book Signing Next Weekend
So that author signing at Barnes & Noble, the one I had to cancel due to a conflict? Well, it's back on. Yay! People will come and buy my book! June 18th, 3-7pm at the Valley View Mall in Roanoke, VA. Egads! People are going to ask hard questions. The odd thing about signings is … Continue reading Book Signing Next Weekend
On Sale, Cheap!
Right now, this very instance, for the next week or so, if you click this link you will discover that Amazon is currently offering my debut novel for a mere $2.99 as an ebook. This is the perfect time to buy it before it goes back up to $6.50.
In Control
There's control, and then there's control. Sarah Hoyt talks about being a very specific type of control freak, which made me wonder: am I a control freak? I mean, there's the usual "I have to be in charge and all shall bow before me!" type of control freak that most people picture in their mind … Continue reading In Control
Go Jason, It’s Your Birthday!
Happy Birthday to me! Wow, I'm getting old. In life, I'd be approaching middle aged (I think it starts around 35, not sure) and would start to have all these "crises". However, as a writer I'm barely an infant. No, really. Most authors who are "established" in their craft are typically in their late forties and … Continue reading Go Jason, It’s Your Birthday!
So Far, So Good
Okay, so the first day of work yesterday was interesting. I've never done a coffee tasting (and eaten a pastry) before starting my day, so this was a new experience. After that, it was a long time watching training videos and whatnot before I went home and crashed. So far, all my coworkers are really … Continue reading So Far, So Good
You Have Great Patience.
I survived the move. First day of work is tomorrow. I will update on Monday evenings (posts will now be going up online at night until hours are worked out with work). Thanks for the patience.
Angry Birds
Filed in the "That Was Weird" department... I decided, after looking at the grass sway gently in the breeze, that it was past time to mow. I was reluctant, however. It was hot, really damned hot, and muggy as well. I decided "The hell with it. I need to mow" and, after a brief consultation … Continue reading Angry Birds
Alles in Ordnung!
Having fun bastardizing the brief "Mission from Hell" from the old first draft of Vindicator into something far more fun and usable. I forgot just how crazy that chapter was. Still, it's always fun when you can call someone "Princess" and not be a derogatory term. Books are packed. Boo. Hard to read if books are packed. Alles … Continue reading Alles in Ordnung!
Blah
Three days until the move. I suppose I should start packing today... Naw, I'll start tomorrow. It's not like I own much. Brain isn't here today. I'll try this again later. In the mean time, how was your weekend?
Memorial Day
Let none be forgotten. In the fields of green my compatriots lay, Having given the ultimate sacrifice. I hope that I will always recall them this day, My friends, my brothers, my sisters. And while time may dim our memories of their names, Their spirits shall live on, immortal. For those who died shall be … Continue reading Memorial Day
Looooong Update
I have been without internet for most of the morning, so I got a lot of writing done minus my usual research (i.e., annoying Leo, pestering my boss, and so on...). This means, naturally, that about 80% of it I’m going to have to cut out eventually. In the meantime, though, I started the Catechism … Continue reading Looooong Update
Bourbon and Fiction Do Too Mix Well!
In the Shadow of Paradise is finished. It's at one of the first readers/editors now, hopefully without any continuity errors. After that comes the fine toothed comb. That's going to be about as much fun as a colonoscopy, but more productive I'm certain. I like the ending of the story. I didn't like the original … Continue reading Bourbon and Fiction Do Too Mix Well!
TV Moment
Okay, so I watched my prerequisite television today (DVR'd When Aliens Attack, which featured some great people I know like John Ringo, Travis S. Taylor and Bob Boan, as well as caught the season finale of Glee) and I couldn't get the feeling out of my head that this summer is going to be nothing … Continue reading TV Moment
He’s A Genius
Today there is more proof that Dean Wesley Smith is a freaking genius. He talks here about how an indie publisher could use gift cards which could contain a code for someone who buys the card to go to Smashwords and get their book. It sounds weird until you stop and think about it outside … Continue reading He’s A Genius
