It's not as though I need any excuses to be lazy about finishing this book but... ...this cat is not helping. No, really. He's not "directing the muse" or "whispering ideas into my ear". He's messing with me. Really. I blame him for my missed deadlines. It's his fault.
Blog Update
Little Ball of Mud
There's some weird things going on in the world right now that are just begging for me to voice my little old opinion on. The first thing is US politics. I hate politics, but the more I watch nut jobs on both sides speak for the 80% of the rest of us, the more I'm convinced that the King/Queen/Senate idea … Continue reading Little Ball of Mud
New Book Cover Announcement
New anthology coming this fall that my story is featured in. This is your warning. Prepare for the Sha'Daa, for it is coming... Edit: the first one was not the right one. Oops.
Where Have All The Villains Gone?
I was responding to something that my computer did to me this morning (stupid cheating AI doesn't know that I know he's cheating so I won't slaughter him in Stronghold Legends...) when it occurred to me that I only enjoy certain types of villains. And believe me, stupid, crushing everything mad "I'm the villain!" characters … Continue reading Where Have All The Villains Gone?
Well Paid Hack
Not apologizing for the lack of updates. Would you rather read this or read something in print (or e-book)? Thought so. Yes, I was working on Wraithkin and Failsafe. I'm also working on Heroes & Rogues, which needs to be done in about two weeks. Oops. I keep linking to both Amanda Green's and Sarah Hoyt's blogs because of … Continue reading Well Paid Hack
When To Say When
I normally try to stay out of politics on here, but friend and author KT Pinto made a very good point earlier today: Never believe what a politician says as a general principle, but especially when they are trying to win an election. It takes a brave man to have a startling revelation, it takes … Continue reading When To Say When
Get Lit
Just a quick philosophical question for you younglings today: If "getting lit" means getting wasted (i.e., trashed), why do we assume that downing so much alcohol that our breath can light an open flame from thirty paces is the epitome of a good time? I mean, if I've drunk enough that my drunken antics go from being entertaining … Continue reading Get Lit
Behold, A Finch!
I love my camera. I also love that the birds here in Kentucky like to be photographed. They're like the Kardashians of the bird world.
I Got Nothing
Feeling a bit melancholy today, so I went ahead and started listening to music from the Final Fantasy series. You know, that game series that pretty much shaped my formative years (okay, Final Fantasy III and beyond)? Yeah, that one. Hey, speaking of, if it's called Final Fantasy, why are there fourteen games in the … Continue reading I Got Nothing
Motivate Me, Sir!
One of the roughest parts of getting through a day is the realization that not matter what you do, nothing seems to motivate you. Soda? Not working. Exercise? Not working. Two ounces of coke off of a prostitute's ass (okay, metaphorically, but still...)? Not working. Though I'll forgive Charlie Sheen for the advice. He really … Continue reading Motivate Me, Sir!
In A Groove
I think I'm starting to get into a groove here with both writing, working and reviewing. Somehow I found the energy to juggle all of them while pretending to have this wild and crazy life. I wish I could claim it's been enlightening, but really it's just a lot of Pepsi. My heart really won't … Continue reading In A Groove

Holy Crap Jason Survived Another Con
Ah, time for the semi-annual "Holy Crap Jason Survived Another Con" After Action Review (henceforth to be called AAR because, well, I'm lazy). For past AAR's, click here, here and here. I rolled out of Lexington a little later than I thought I would (expected to be on the road by 0900, was really on … Continue reading Holy Crap Jason Survived Another Con
Pic of the Day
C-4 and a Smile
Brief note today since I'm still feeling under the weather. Only seven more days until MidSouthCon. Looking forward to meeting lots of new people and establishing new contacts. I've been sitting on the publishing sidelines (as it were) for the past two years, and I think it's time to venture back into the madness of … Continue reading C-4 and a Smile
