(A short snippet today ~Jason) Coming January 2026 With Corporal Jeffe leading the way, the trio of enlisted exited the building and stood in front of the door in the warm, poisonous rain of Myrkyma. Sergeant Buckholz looked around at the gathered mob and snorted derisively. “Unless you are here to join the Legion, you … Continue reading TO TREAD OBSIDIAN SHORES — Snippet 5

TO TREAD OBSIDIAN SHORES — Snippet 4
“Yes, sir!” Sergeant Buckholz grinned from ear to ear. “Jeffe, Aires? You heard the captain. Suit up. I’ll get on the horn with Klysgaard.” “Come with me, Recruit Tavi.” The captain turned and walked towards the three flags on the poles behind Sergeant Buckholz’s desk. Unsure, Diego followed, and stopped a few feet away from … Continue reading TO TREAD OBSIDIAN SHORES — Snippet 4
TO TREAD OBSIDIAN SHORES — Snippet 3
Coming January 2026 from Baen Books “Good.” Sergeant Buckholz leaned forward, and his voice changed subtly. “This isn’t an easy life, Diego. We go where the Protectorate needs us to go. We’ve had peace for many years, which is why most people think they want to join. Free education, land, money, glory . . . whatever drives kids these … Continue reading TO TREAD OBSIDIAN SHORES — Snippet 3
TO TREAD OBSIDIAN SHORES — Snippet 2
Coming January 2026 The chair was comfortable, far more so than anything Diego was used to. For the first time his eyes darted around the room, taking it all in and understanding very little of it. It wasn’t decorated like any room he’d been in before. There were three flags hanging on poles behind the … Continue reading TO TREAD OBSIDIAN SHORES — Snippet 2

Why Be Like Them When We’re Us?
There is something in the human psyche that seems to crave subjugation. Oh, don't roll your eyes at me. Give me a chance to explain before you get all huffy. Besides, people pay good money to be told what to do, how to do it, and when to. Throughout history people simply did what they … Continue reading Why Be Like Them When We’re Us?
Dragoncon 2025
I survived! Yeah, that was a little melodramatic, but considering I was headed to an event where it is rather common for everyone to get some sort of plague, the fact that I was able to dodge the concrud despite being immunocompromised is very impressive indeed and, if I may say so myself, a crowning … Continue reading Dragoncon 2025

Casper (2009-2025)
My bestest buddy Casper crossed the rainbow bridge today. His first day home. I've known it was coming but it still hurts. He never really recovered from his tooth extraction back in June and his kidneys decided that it was time to go. I had him on kidney diet and everything to help, but he … Continue reading Casper (2009-2025)
What Sticks?
(Originally posted on Twitter/X) (I’m taking a break from editing an anthology at the moment and am using voice-text speech. I’ll try to go back after this is done and edit, but I am also functionally blind right now as my eyes recover from the ER/hospital stay and the optic nerve swelling. But then again, … Continue reading What Sticks?
Busy-ness Inbound!
I was looking at my forthcoming novels and anthologies I'm both in and will have edited, and realized I actually don't have a combined pre-order list for them all. Whoops. I can already hear the marketing people yell at me for not flooding every instance of social media with links on a daily basis. Anyway, … Continue reading Busy-ness Inbound!
And Back To Good News!
Results from the lumbar puncture (part deux) are in and there is no lymphoma! We were a little concerned because they hit us with that possibility over the weekend while at the hospital, but my oncologist appointment this morning went well and there isn't any sign of it. The T-cells were from the immunotherapy drugs … Continue reading And Back To Good News!
And Now The Bad News…
Lots of new cover reveals this past week, which is great news! But then I got slammed with some bad news, so I had to make a decision. I was hospitalized last Wednesday after some neuro complications with my eyes following a recent infusion for my cancer treatments, and they ran a bunch of tests … Continue reading And Now The Bad News…
