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

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
New Book
So an interesting development... As you may already know, I had a story titled Crouching Seal, Sleeping Dragon published in a shared-world type of anthology called Sha'Daa: Pawns in 2012. It was pretty well-received all in all, and I created one my favorite characters to date. Fast forward to this evening. The editor/creator of the series, Michael H. Hanson, … Continue reading New Book
My Annual Hugo Pie Fathe: Overt Thexual Innuendo Edithon, Parth the Secondth
I often wonder if the Hugo is like a thick, creamy facial for the writer. Meant to be pleasing and give someone a backhanded compliment about how good they look, but end up with a bit of it in the eyes and boy does that cold creme burn like a motherf*cker! What, you thought...? Oh, … Continue reading My Annual Hugo Pie Fathe: Overt Thexual Innuendo Edithon, Parth the Secondth
It Was Here But Now It’s Gone
Had a long post written and decided that today was not the be that day. Instead, I'm going to try to get some more writing done.
With A Screeching Yowl
Funny story: I had just updated the site when all of a sudden my computer made this pissed-off cat sound. Cat owners, you know which one I'm talking about. That low growl escalating into a high-pitched crescendo, followed by a deep hiss? Yeah, that one. Well, it made that noise and my computer screen died, … Continue reading With A Screeching Yowl
End of Year Time
Tonight I'm going to celebrate the end of 2013 with panache and class. Yep, I'm going to crack open a bottle of champagne, cook up some finger foods and pass out around 11:30PM. That's just how I roll. I'm so hardcore. I'm looking back over 2013 and I must say I'm rather pleased with what … Continue reading End of Year Time
Reading Materialist
Wraithkin is with the agent now. I have two weeks to complete my Dark Corners anthology story (Collectibles). I should have written it months ago, but life kept getting in the way. Okay, life and other novels. And other short stories. Okay, okay, I just suck as a human being. I'll get it done before the deadline, even … Continue reading Reading Materialist
Troll Baiting
So apparently trolls are all the rage these days. I had no idea. I love reading the blogs of authors I like to... uh, read? That sounded a lot better in my head. Anyway, so I was reading Larry Correia's blog around 5 this morning and saw that there was a troll in the dungeon. I read … Continue reading Troll Baiting
SimSuck
I'll admit, I went into this with a little bit of trepidation. I'd heard bad things about it, and a lot of friends of mine were equally disgusted by the blatant craptacularness of it and warned me away. But I'd been told that the bugs were fixed, everything was fine now, and they would be … Continue reading SimSuck
