So the past two weeks have been very exciting. First off, there's a cover reveal for the next Baen Books anthology that I'm a part of. Forged in Blood, which is edited by Michael Z. Williamson and set in his Freehold universe, features my short story Magnum Opus, which is the story of Rowan Moran, an Operative before The War. It's … Continue reading Getting Progressively Better

A Very Special Individual Indeed
Life has a way of grabbing you by the... nose and not letting go sometimes. I've been deep in Darkling the past month, adding to it whenever I can and trying to get this book done by Christmas. I have a plan for Christmas and I'm trying to see if it will happen. It's a "plan" inasmuch … Continue reading A Very Special Individual Indeed
The Absolute Purity of Genetics and Life
My brain works weird. I was in the kitchen making dinner (and mentally writing Darkling, the sequel to Wraithkin), and my brain started thinking about my short story in the upcoming FREEHOLD anthology (ed. by Michael Z. Williamson). There's a part in the story (Magnum Opus) where it is revealed that my main character is gay. No big deal, he … Continue reading The Absolute Purity of Genetics and Life
The Dragon Awards
The inaugural Dragon Awards (hosted by Dragoncon, the biggest party for nerds in the entire southeastern U.S.) went off smashingly. I can't wait for them to release the results numbers so we can see just how many people actually voted. I'm going to throw out a number and say... hmm... 10,000. While that may seem … Continue reading The Dragon Awards
No Saving Today
So I'm finally caught up at work and have some free time so I can update the dang site. Not that there is a lot too update, other than being forced to buy a new car. Yeah, I bought a new car because the old one got totaled. No worries, no serious injuries, but damn it I wanted to … Continue reading No Saving Today
Libertycon XXIX AAR — The Black Tide Rising Edition
So LC29 is in the books and I for one had a blast. I got to meet more people (always fun) and talk with some of the biggest names in the field (always productive). I got to work out the details of a new project with coauthor Christopher L. Smith and watch an old friend … Continue reading Libertycon XXIX AAR — The Black Tide Rising Edition
Quick Update
Black Tide Rising is chugging along well from what I hear, with almost resoundingly positive reviews across the board. I'm pleased by this, because this means there could be a second story about my merry little band of intrepid thieves in the future. I still have two stories left in their little arc that I'd like to … Continue reading Quick Update
Libertycon 29 Schedule
Weird. I've been going to this con now for 10 years now and I still feel as though it were just yesterday I was getting the email from Uncle Timmy of Libertycon saying "So do I need to add a 'Doctor' to your name as well?" Good times, and still my favorite con to attend. … Continue reading Libertycon 29 Schedule
Release Day
BLACK TIDE RISING IS OUT TODAY Just thought you should know...
17 Days
I really need to focus more on, uh, everything I have going on. Talk about a lot of projects! Between work and writing I almost have zero free time, so things like this and SBR get shuffled off to the side. I wrote an article explaining why I broke my age-old rule about not writing … Continue reading 17 Days
Condensed Update
I've been very, very bad about updating lately. I blame it on my awesome new job. There's a lot to cover, and not that much time, so I'll try to give you the condensed "Jason's Recent Life!!!" version of things. Writing: Kraken Mare has done exceptionally well these past few months, hanging out in numbers that are … Continue reading Condensed Update
Cover Reveal!
Isn't it pretty? It's so pretty! For this cover I managed to land the freakishly talented J. F. Posthumus to do the cover of the upcoming historical zombie story, The Dead of Babylon. It will be released on December 18th, just in time to satisfy your holiday horrorific cravings (even though it's set about 3000 years ago … Continue reading Cover Reveal!
On Reviews For Authors
So at a very odd hour late last night, I went ahead and wrote a review over at Shiny Book Review. To say that it was an adventure is an understatement. Reputedly, this author has a history of lashing out at reviewers, so we'll see just how interesting things get around here. I mentioned elsewhere that … Continue reading On Reviews For Authors
No Time
T-minus five days and counting until Honorcon. You might be wondering what panels I'll be doing, or what I plan on talking about, but you may be surprised to know that I'm actually working this convention for The Official Honor Harrington Fan Association. Being the Volunteer Coordinator is, well, a job that nobody wanted so … Continue reading No Time
This is October? Nobody told me about the pumpkin spice latte!
Right, right... we're in October now, and dozens of people are waiting for some sort of update. First off, I've been biting my tongue a lot on the internet (you would be so proud) as I watch individuals become more idiotic with each passing breath. I know it's hard to build a following, people, but … Continue reading This is October? Nobody told me about the pumpkin spice latte!
