I had a brief moment of "Uh oh" this afternoon when I went out to check the mail. I noticed what appeared to be an official looking large envelope from Pyr Books crammed into the mailbox. I handled it with some caution because I have heard stories about "official looking envelopes" and the havoc they … Continue reading Cease and Desist

Deadlines Go By
Four days and counting until Mysticon. Come down to Roanoke if you'd like to purchase an autograph copy of my book and meet more famous authors than myself. It'll be a blast! The cold, harsh reality of the dreaded "deadline" is looming up on the horizon. I can feel its icy tendrils grasping at my … Continue reading Deadlines Go By
…and nothing else matters…
Countdown: 5 days until Mysticon, which I am very excited to be a participant at. I haven't been to a con in quite a while now, and I need a con fix. As I mentioned previously, I have posted my schedule (so far as I know it) and am eagerly awaiting a few of said … Continue reading …and nothing else matters…
The Windy Plains of Knowitallville
It's a windy day up at Soldier's Retreat today, with gusts up to 35+ mph. It's really cool to watch the flag whip around in the wind, as well as the windsock down on the runway stand nearly straight out. In the Lawyers in Hell group, we were talking about surroundings and how to use … Continue reading The Windy Plains of Knowitallville
Borders and Realities
I'm sad that Borders has filed for bankruptcy, though I am also relieved that my royalties will be unaffected (neither Borders nor B&N carried Corruptor) by the turmoil. But yeah, I shouldn't be directly affected by the bankruptcy, if anybody was wondering. Those whose books were in their stores before the bankruptcy filing, however, could … Continue reading Borders and Realities
Hall of the Mountain King
Just a brief music post for the day. Wrapping up ...AND INJUSTICE FOR ALL this week for the upcoming anthology, "Lawyers in Hell". [edit 12:09 pm] Well, it was going to be a music post before they got all "copyright infirngement" on me. Really. You'd think that they would want their song shared. I mean, … Continue reading Hall of the Mountain King
Eggs In A Basket
I was reading an email this morning from a friend about a mutual friend who has put all of their eggs in one basket, specifically placed all of his books with one single publisher. I thought my response was going to be an easy "Well, it works for John Ringo", but then I really thought … Continue reading Eggs In A Basket
Bloody Massacre
You know I've been feeling bad when I don't post on here. Headache is mostly gone for now, though it usually comes in waves. I'm readying for the 8th round as I type this. It's Valentine's Day, which means we get to celebrate the execution of a Christian priest named Valentine at the hands of … Continue reading Bloody Massacre
Braaains! Wait, no…. caffeeeeeeeeeine!
Some people get addicted to drugs, others to nicotine. Mine is caffeine and it shows at the worst possible times. Like now, for instance. Twenty-four hours after I stopped drinking soda, my body is screaming at me. It is screaming loud. I haven't gotten much production done today because of withdrawals. I don't care what … Continue reading Braaains! Wait, no…. caffeeeeeeeeeine!
Schedule Update
One final post for the day, I swear. Here is my schedule for Mysticon (Feb 25-27) in Roanoke, VA. The people running this con have been helpful and responsive, which usually is a great sign for a fun con. You should attend. No, you MUST attend. Friday 5-6pm Opening Ceremonies Friday 10-11pm From SF to … Continue reading Schedule Update
eARC Update
...also, for those of you looking for the ebook of Corruptor, it's now available in Nook format over at B&N for cheaper than Amazon. It also is no longer appearing on Twilight Times' eArc page, since (obviously) it is no longer an advance reader copy. Keep that in mind while you are paying my phone … Continue reading eARC Update
The Evil(?) Empire?
In a burgeoning world of digital publishing and online news feeds, it makes perfect sense for AOL to go out and pay an extraordinary amount of money for... the Huffington Post. Really? AOL couldn't find something to spend their money on like, oh I don't know, upgrading something or getting into a venue that actually … Continue reading The Evil(?) Empire?
Another “Lawyers in Hell” Update
You should really go and join the "Heroes in Hell" page on Facebook. They're currently posting snippets from some of the upcoming stories from "Lawyers in Hell", coming out (I think) later this year. CJ Cherryh, Janet Morris, David Burkhead, Michael Z Williamson and Kimberly Richardson are just a few of the names of the … Continue reading Another “Lawyers in Hell” Update
Brian Jacques
I was saddened to learn that Brian Jacques, author of the Redwall series, passed away due to a heart attack over the weekend. He was young, only 71, which always brings to mind my own dad, who is hanging around at 73 and not the healthiest of people. We keep losing authors I've read over … Continue reading Brian Jacques
Hell’s Bells
I guess I can make the announcement now. I've barely been able to keep quiet about the news. I was invited by Janet and Chris Morris to participate in their Heroes in Hell series in the latest anthology, Lawyers in Hell. I'm super excited about this and can't wait for you guys to see what … Continue reading Hell’s Bells
