I should be asleep but since I ran a quick road trip yesterday to Soldier's Retreat, I slept last night. For 12 hours. Apparently I was tired. Hill 142 is mostly done. I need to polish it up a bit, but overall I'm happy with it. The Gods Anointed is... uh... weird. It wants to be done but … Continue reading Needs Must
Blog Update
Yay Success! Now Get Off My Lawn.
Update. Right. Forgot. So A Promise Made is going to be in the next Sha'Daa anthology, currently titled Facets. I also was trying to squeak a second story in but I couldn't really get it to work. It came off as a monologue but the story structure needed to be more of a script (transcript, diary, screenplay, etc). I was … Continue reading Yay Success! Now Get Off My Lawn.
Sold!
Ah, the weekend. Well, the beginning of mine, at least. The Tree of Death and Life has been accepted into the Heroes All anthology, which is super cool because it is the sequel to Nightwalker, which is in an entirely different anthology (Terror By Gaslight), which are both being put out by the team-up of Fantom Enterprises/Perseid Press. I do love … Continue reading Sold!
Tastes Like Chicken
You ever read a book and find yourself thinking "I've read this before" as you turn through every page, every character reminiscent of a long-lost friend? Well, yeah, okay... sequels. Easy enough, right? You know the characters already (from previous novels) while being introduced to new, exciting ones (you can only hope). But have you … Continue reading Tastes Like Chicken
Exist-ish
Thirteen incomplete short stories, six incomplete book reviews, eight incomplete novels, four novels in dire need of an edit, and I'm sitting around playing Civilization V. I really have no excuse for laziness. It's not like I get bored with a novel and move on or anything. I just take a break from it because it's moving too … Continue reading Exist-ish
The Planning Stages for World Domination (and kitties)
I oftentimes wonder just what goes into the business planning of a small, successful publishing house. Not because I plan on taking them all over eventually (no, of course not, not me...) but because I wonder how they set up their distribution into bookstores. I mean, I know that they have to get in with … Continue reading The Planning Stages for World Domination (and kitties)
HWA Possibility
Two years later, Tom Kratman is still the most popular person on my website. Damn you, Colonel. I had no small amount of glee after watching Kentucky lose to Robert Morris in the opening round of the NIT. Last year Kentucky fans were insufferable after rolling through the NCAA tournament. I guess this year was karma and … Continue reading HWA Possibility
No Review, No Problem
I was set to review John Ringo's Tiger by the Tail today and... I couldn't. I literally had such a bad review mentally written that I couldn't bring myself to actually do it. I know the Paladin of Shadows is a really "silly" series (okay, Ghost is... the others following weren't that bad), but Tiger by the Tail takes the absurdity to an entirely different level. … Continue reading No Review, No Problem
Deadlines Looming
Wrote a book review yesterday (Sarah Hoyt's latest, A Few Good Men), submitted The Tree of Death and Life, did some job hunting (hey, I need a job that gives me more time to write) and basically accomplished something. Today... not so much. Doing the piping of a buttload of cookies will do that to arthritic fingers. So … Continue reading Deadlines Looming
Jason’s Doctor Who Love Fest Continues
Hey, look at that, a 0600 post. Strange, no? Well, you can think of this little scheduling thingy they have for future posts, or believe that I really am awake early in the morning typing this, sans Starbucks. Your call. I just finished the David Tennant seasons of Doctor Who and am now on to the Matt … Continue reading Jason’s Doctor Who Love Fest Continues
That One Post You Never Come To Enjoy
I've got this... bug right now. Not sure what it is, exactly. I lost my voice and have been hacking up something most decidedly Kermit colored. On the other hand, I feel fine. It's weird. I'll be okay, then suddenly coughing like a maniac. No fever, no aches, no headache. Just no voice. Huh. Good thing I … Continue reading That One Post You Never Come To Enjoy
Another Book Release
Still at the farm, and realizing that I miss being out here with my friends. I'm doing some writing, but with Google Drive/Docs being a little screwy, I'm not in my usual "flow" of things. On the other hand, I'm writing. So... eh? I'll be back to regular posting this Friday. I'll also be back … Continue reading Another Book Release
Mysticon 2013 AAR
So it's late Sunday afternoon at Soldier's Retreat and I'm coming down off of the high that was the awesomeness of Mysticon 2013. Finally got to meet Col. Tom Kratman in person, which was a hoot, because that man can tell a story. Had to keep it relatively PG-13, however, due to the underage midgets … Continue reading Mysticon 2013 AAR
Mistikaaaaaaaaaahn!
Just another reminder... MYSTICON!!! I'm going to Khan you. That is all. Get it? Kaaaaaaahn? Oh, admit your nerdiness already. Sheesh.
Accomplish-y Writer
I feel all accomplish-y right now. Put up a review of Maurice Broaddus' King Maker, which is a fascinating retelling of the King Arthur legends, over at Shiny Book Review. I also cleaned my kitchen, did the litter boxes, and (almost) took out the trash. I mean, I saw that it was almost full, so it's not like I'm … Continue reading Accomplish-y Writer
