I need to dress up in the most over-the-top caricature of a pimp, take a picture, and have one day every week where the "Book Pimp" pimps out a new author's work. I'm picturing a gold came, platform shoes (with goldfish inside them), feather boa, large hat, maybe a bright purple suit and... hmm... rose-tinted … Continue reading Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy — Brandon Ford’s “Open Wounds”
Blog Update
Book Release!
No, not for me, actually. Kaiju Apocalypse will be coming out soon, I promise. My friend (and regular commentator here, as well as reviewer over at Shiny Book Review) Barb Caffrey's debut novel, An Elfy on the Loose, came out the other day and... I completely forgot to mention it. I'm horrible. Basically, this is a quirky little … Continue reading Book Release!
Quick Breath
Working on Murder World today. I think Eric and I have had a breakthrough with this novel. Hopefully it'll be done by June. It's about 1/4 to 1/3 done at the moment. Just coming up for air. I'll have a new review coming up on SBR tonight as well. I'm not sure what book, mind you. But it'll be … Continue reading Quick Breath
Another Cover Reveal
By far a favorite cover of mine. Kaiju Apocalypse, coauthored with the amazing Eric S. Brown. Coming soon from Severed Press.
Brief Update
Put a new review up over at SBR tonight. It's the debut novel of Tiger Gray, called No Deadly Thing. I think the title was a bit misleading, since there were many deadly things about. It was passable, though I think that I was expecting much more. I'm growing more particular in the quality of novels … Continue reading Brief Update
Novella Sold
Kaiju Apocalypse, a novella I wrote with Eric S. Brown, was sold this morning to Severed Press. I'm very happy at this, since it's been about a month since I sold anything and I was beginning to get antsy once more. Now I'm working on two things -- Prince of the Rotted, my Babylonian zombie story, and Murder … Continue reading Novella Sold
Stupid Busy
I've been stupidly busy the past few weeks (to steal a line from my friend Gerry). This is going to be a long update, so you may want to grab something to drink, or let the dog out. First off, let me say that Mysticon 2014 was an absolute blast. It went off without a … Continue reading Stupid Busy
Sweet
So it's award season, which means I typically ignore them, since I never get nominated for anything. Never say never, apparently. My short story, The Finder's Keeper, is up for Best MidSouth SF/F Short Story at the Darrell Awards. That was quite a surprise, and very, very cool (I like the Darrell Awards.... not as snooty … Continue reading Sweet
Book Release v2.1
Sha'Daa: Tales of the Apocalypse was re-released this weekend. My short story, Crouching Seal, Sleeping Dragon, is in this one now (it started off in Sha'Daa: Pawns, remember? Paragon Idol, another short story I wrote in that universe, is replacing it). Cool cover. You might like it. I did. It's been a busy week or so. Con this coming weekend. … Continue reading Book Release v2.1
Release Day
Hero's Best Friend was released today and is available on both Kindle and Nook. You want to support your local author, then buy this book. Kindle link Nook link Also, if you purchase it, take a few moments to fill out a review on B&N and/or Amazon. It really helps out.
Another Story
Just sold another short story to Copper Dog Publishing. My short story, "Paragon Idol", will be featured in the reprint of the Sha'Daa: Pawns anthology which is being re-released this year. If you remember, I already had a story in Pawns ("Crouching Seal, Sleeping Dragon") which was bumped to the reprint of the Sha'Daa: Tales of the Apocalypse anthology coming out … Continue reading Another Story
Book Review Query
So I didn't watch the Super Bowl last night. Not out of some high and mighty stance or anything. I didn't feel like getting out of the house to watch it. I don't have a TV, and I hate live streaming anything over the internet. My poor bandwidth, man! Plus I really don't care about … Continue reading Book Review Query
Cover Reveal
And, at long last, I can show off the cover for Hero's Best Friend, which contains my story Hill 142, the untold (and completely alternate) version of the Battle of Belleau Wood during World War One. Edit: Oh, I probably should mention that this is coming out in the next few weeks from Seventh Star Press. Here's … Continue reading Cover Reveal
Butthurt
I was thinking of writing an article today on race and science fiction, but... meh. No matter which "way" I transcribe it, someone's going to get butthurt over it. Not "mildly disagreeing" with me, and not a "I think you're wrong and this is why" conversation, but generally butthurt. Why? Because people are combative and … Continue reading Butthurt
Another Cover Update
...and after seeing the new cover for Sha'Daa: Tales of the Apocalypse last night, I received an email this morning from another publisher about the cover for Hero's Best Friend, where my story Hill 142 resides and is awaiting print. The cover is in, and I must say that it looks gorgeous. There's going to be a … Continue reading Another Cover Update
