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…
Cover Reveal! Part Deux
This one has been a long time coming... So about 16 months ago I was struggling to write this book I'd been calling The Bronze Legion. The problem was, it needed a secondary main POV character who was a pilot, someone who would swoop down and rescue her "boys" when the feces hit the rotary … Continue reading Cover Reveal! Part Deux

Imadjinn Award Win
Been back from my whirlwind tour of the the American Midwest and recovering from some weird stomach issues that have been plaguing me since my last infusion (they were really bad over the weekend). Just wanted to let everyone know that Mountain of Fire won the 2025 Imadjinn Award for Best Horror Novel. Why horror? … Continue reading Imadjinn Award Win

It's got stories from David Weber & Marisa Wolf, Jason Anspach & Nick Cole (Forgotten Ruin novella), Jacob Holo & Edie Skye, and more! These … Continue reading No Time Math Here
Bounty Hunter is available!
Survived Libertycon, probably won't do an AAR (after action review) for it simply because I don't remember much of what happened already. On the other hand, Book 1 of the Quintus Fox series is now LIVE! You can grab your copy of BOUNTY HUNTER here! Available in both ebook and print, because I know a … Continue reading Bounty Hunter is available!
Authors You Should Be Reading – Part 1: R.R. Virdi
Courtesy of the author's website "Who the fuck is R.R. Virdi?" you might be asking yourself, having stumbled upon this website at 2:00AM while doom-scrolling social media (it's cool, we've all been there). I'm glad you are here asking that very question. Because if you're not asking, well, it's probably that you've already read his … Continue reading Authors You Should Be Reading – Part 1: R.R. Virdi
Amazon’s Recent Royalty Pay & Price Change
Recently, Amazon dropped this on those of us who use KDP to handle our indie stuff: Now, this normally doesn't affect me too much (I sell more ebooks than print, like most authors who publish through KDP), but it did cause me raise the price of A Christmas Surprise from $8.99 to $9.99 per print … Continue reading Amazon’s Recent Royalty Pay & Price Change
