More tomorrow after I've drunk my elixir of life (aka, coffee).

The Writer/Agent Conundrum
You have to wonder about literary agents sometimes... I, for one, am thankful for all the agents who do a lot of hard work pitching their clients novels out to various publishers. They get as many, if not more, rejection notifications than the actual writer does. Plus, they have to deal with the pressure from … Continue reading The Writer/Agent Conundrum
More Awards
Okay, so Preditors & Editors (yes, it's spelled wrong on purpose) is having their yearly reader's poll for all sorts of novels. "Best SF", "Best Thriller", and "Best Romance" are just a few of the titles you can nominate a book for. Yes, you heard me correctly. You can nominate and vote for a book. … Continue reading More Awards
I Hear Voices, Do You?
Had a great time with some friends who came over for dinner (we ended up grazing, not really "mealing") and I started to compare notes with another author in the group, Julie Cochrane. Julie, if you don't know who she is, coauthored the Cally's War trilogy with John Ringo. She's very smart and has a … Continue reading I Hear Voices, Do You?
Braaaaaains…
Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaains... I am completely fried this morning. For some reason (*coughcoughStayedUpPastBedtimecoughcough*) I am completely drained. So I thought instead that I would leave you with this. 'cuz you know I'm never going to give you up... Edit: damned WordPress is making me work when my brain isn't working... all I want to do is RickRoll … Continue reading Braaaaaains…
Two Notes…. Get It?
Two quick notes... 1 -- Don't forget, Corruptor is still available for sale through Amazon, B&N and directly from Twilight Times Books. The ebook is much cheaper at Fictionwise, where I just happen to have the #21 SF book. It's not too late. 2 -- SFWA member and eligible to nominate? Well, I'm eligible for … Continue reading Two Notes…. Get It?
Vote For Me
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
SLACKER
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
Another Take On The Publishing World
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.
Word Count Counting
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
College Football Thoughts
Well, the majority of the 2010 college football season is over (barring a few more games), and as always I'm astounded by the beat down given to the Big Ten conference. I have a lot of thoughts about this after watching the TCU-Wisconsin game yesterday (don't you dare call it an upset, the Horned Frogs … Continue reading College Football Thoughts
Reminiscing About the Good Ol’ Days
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
Breaking the Rules
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
News Flash! Hey, Put That Away…
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…
