Well holy crapdoodle, I'm eligible for the Hugo Award. Not like I'd win, competing against giants in the field, but I thought I'd mention it to those who are eligible to nominate. These are the awards I'm eligible for: Best Novel - Corruptor I am also eligible for the John W. Campbell Award for Best … Continue reading Vote For Me

I'm such a slacker today, I got sucked into a new webcomic and wasted my entire morning catching up with Weregeek. *grumble* I was going to edit this afternoon but instead, I'll be trying to write. Damn that comic for being so fun!!! Since I've talked about it and you're thinking of it, you might … Continue reading SLACKER

The wonderful Sarah A. Hoyt takes a look at the publishing industry today. She explains it much better than I ever could regarding supply and demand. You know, for a woman who grew up speaking Portuguese, her English is far better than mine... Go read.

Okay, so I did make one tiny little resolution for New Year's. This one will be easier to keep than the traditional "Lose weight, flabby!" one I make on a yearly basis. I'm keeping a running word count of everything I do this year, so I won't lose two day's worth of production the next time I … Continue reading Word Count Counting

Ack! I can't believe that I only have 2 days left in 2010! I haven't even finished a book this year! I'm such a slacker... Of course, I did a word count minutes ago and my tally for the year is 994,000 (I rounded down) so I know I could have written 10 books if … Continue reading Reminiscing About the Good Ol’ Days

There are worlds within worlds at play here, and we call it fiction. One of the things I loved about writing Corruptor and its sequels was the infinite amount of creativity I was able to use. To have "worlds within worlds within worlds" as a mantra leaves so many possibilities open for me as a … Continue reading Breaking the Rules

  Few updated notes: Thanks to all who purchased Corruptor over the past month. Print book sales have tailed on Amazon (as expected), though I have sold almost all of my print copies I had shipped to me. The ebook has been doing fairly well thanks to you, with it being #21 in SF over … Continue reading News Flash! Hey, Put That Away…

Over at Fictionwise, I just got word from my publisher that Corruptor is currently ranked #21 in SF for sales. Go team! Have you bought your copy yet, by the way? 😉

First off, hope everyone had a great holiday season. It was a great storm that swept through my state, and now my friends up in the Northeast are having to deal with it. Poor guys. For them, our 2-4 inches of snow turned into something like 16 inches. Of course, we're having something like 40+ … Continue reading Break Over, Back To Work

Pain is weakness leaving the body... or something like that. So my hand hurts because I just spent the last two hours drawing out a giant 2ftx3ft poster for Purgatory Peak, the setting for the Christian Cole novels. I started off with the lake, which sits in the middle of town. Then I drew the … Continue reading Dedication

For the next year, my resolutions will be simple. I will lose more weight (I say this every year, and it's always like a yo-yo), I will take some real vacation somewhere (I'm dreaming of Disney World) and I will continue my education (because not having any student loans is unAmerican apparently...). Here are some … Continue reading Post Your Resolutions Here
