You should really go and join the "Heroes in Hell" page on Facebook. They're currently posting snippets from some of the upcoming stories from "Lawyers in Hell", coming out (I think) later this year. CJ Cherryh, Janet Morris, David Burkhead, Michael Z Williamson and Kimberly Richardson are just a few of the names of the … Continue reading Another “Lawyers in Hell” Update

Brian Jacques
I was saddened to learn that Brian Jacques, author of the Redwall series, passed away due to a heart attack over the weekend. He was young, only 71, which always brings to mind my own dad, who is hanging around at 73 and not the healthiest of people. We keep losing authors I've read over … Continue reading Brian Jacques
Hell’s Bells
I guess I can make the announcement now. I've barely been able to keep quiet about the news. I was invited by Janet and Chris Morris to participate in their Heroes in Hell series in the latest anthology, Lawyers in Hell. I'm super excited about this and can't wait for you guys to see what … Continue reading Hell’s Bells
Cone of Shame
Look at me. Now look back at yourself, now back to me. I'm disappointed in you. You, that individual sitting at your computer screen, reading this on your Blackberry. It oozes out of every pore, the disappointment. It reeks of many things, hardly any which are pleasant. Yes, go hang your head in embarrassment. Wear that … Continue reading Cone of Shame
Researching
I hate Wikipedia for most research but for fiction writing, it can be helpful. Back in Denver (where the majority of my stuff is still at) I have a library of research books. Books about the Crusades, various wars in history, and famous leaders throughout the Middle Ages were always ready for me. But now … Continue reading Researching
Agency Fees… Or Lack Thereof
This article is an excellent example of why a reputable literary agency does NOT charge any fees outside of their commission (which is how they get paid, you know, after they've sold your book for you). Got take a look. Remember kiddies, money always flows to the author.
News Coming Soon
I don't know when I can get into details, but very exciting news will be forthcoming in the new few weeks. I'm very excited about this, and I should have confirmation and everything else soon (as in, permission to go into details). Woot!
Attention Pirates! Arggh!
Dear people looking for the torrent version of "Corruptor", Over at the Fifth Impirium they have the first half of my book up for free. Go check there first for the first half. If you're still so desperate to get the book for free, then you can continue fishing on sites until you find it. … Continue reading Attention Pirates! Arggh!
Cowboy Brain F***
Reviewed Paul McAuley's Cowboy Angels over at SBR this morning. Dear God, that book'll mess with your mind! I'll post more this evening. Right now, I'm trying to de-blenderize my brain.
ZzzzzZZzzz…
Overslept somehow this morning and got off to a horrible start. Then I realized I was out of the caffeinated beverage and had to rush to the store before my brain shut back off. *sigh* I didn't get a lot of writing done yesterday, thanks to it being a partial snow day. Sort of screwed up … Continue reading ZzzzzZZzzz…
The Asiago Tis a Lie
Behold, said the purveyor of the House of Dave, which is named Wendy's and where speed is of the essence. I harken unto thee a new, sparkling sandwich of a plucked chicken cooked with the rich, tasty Asiago cheese styled in the Italian cuisine secrets. Topped with the crispest of letti, the devil's apple and … Continue reading The Asiago Tis a Lie
Hook!
Blog monster is eating my cookies! Yes, I'm writing. Not just on the blog, either. I feel all accomplished and everything today. Yeah, I could be writing more, but personally I'd rather have clean clothes so I'm in the midst of doing laundry. Which means I'm not entirely focused on writing, which is an excellent … Continue reading Hook!
Whoopsies… Uh, Free Books!
Had a moment of panic last night while i was hashing out some minor details for Wraithkin (did you know that when an object orbits around the sun it's called a heliocentric orbit? I didn't know that...) when my Pandora station warned me that I was about all out of music for the month. You … Continue reading Whoopsies… Uh, Free Books!
It’s Child’s Play
Had a bit of a head cold this weekend (which sucked, I'll add) but apparently I'm all better now. Last week was a very productive week in the Wraithkin universe. Not only did I crank out 17,000 words, I might actually keep about 9,000 of it, which is pretty good for me (yes, new authors... … Continue reading It’s Child’s Play
Musically Entropic Clown
Music today makes me giggle. I actually listen to some of the lyrics of today's pop hits because when I'm taking Peggey and Scott's kids to school, it's what they want to listen to. So I'll listen to the latest music and the lyrics and I really can't help but laugh. There's no subtlety and, … Continue reading Musically Entropic Clown
