Over at Fictionwise, I just got word from my publisher that Corruptor is currently ranked #21 in SF for sales. Go team! Have you bought your copy yet, by the way? 😉

First off, hope everyone had a great holiday season. It was a great storm that swept through my state, and now my friends up in the Northeast are having to deal with it. Poor guys. For them, our 2-4 inches of snow turned into something like 16 inches. Of course, we're having something like 40+ … Continue reading Break Over, Back To Work

Pain is weakness leaving the body... or something like that. So my hand hurts because I just spent the last two hours drawing out a giant 2ftx3ft poster for Purgatory Peak, the setting for the Christian Cole novels. I started off with the lake, which sits in the middle of town. Then I drew the … Continue reading Dedication

For the next year, my resolutions will be simple. I will lose more weight (I say this every year, and it's always like a yo-yo), I will take some real vacation somewhere (I'm dreaming of Disney World) and I will continue my education (because not having any student loans is unAmerican apparently...). Here are some … Continue reading Post Your Resolutions Here

Yes, I'm an evil individual who doesn't keep his word about getting short stories up on time. In my defense.... I got nothin'. However, if you look at the top of the page you might notice a little new item. Hover over it and you'll see the intro to "The Absolute True Story of Santa … Continue reading Interviews and Updates

Yes, I am a lazy slacker. But I also don't want to give you a free short story that makes you go "This is the best he can do? Why would I buy his book then?". My new goal for The Absolute True Story of Santa Claus is now Monday, December 20th. I've got one … Continue reading Doctor of Slackology

Yeah, I know... The Absolute True Story of Santa Claus isn't up yet. I'm fixing the beginning, which had been bothering me for some reason and I only just put my finger on it. POV shift. Whoops. In other news, Stargate:Universe was just cancelled by SyFy. I liked watching SGU but I wanted to kill … Continue reading I Hate That Guy

I don't know who made it snow but I greatly appreciate it. I've been in a rut due to the vast chill that's been going on and, finally, I get some snow with that cold. Yay! Editing The Absolute True Story of Santa Claus but needed a break. Santa knows if you've been naughty or … Continue reading Let It Snowmigod!! Argh!

Wow, that alarm clock is loud when you wake up early. Finishing touches are coming along for The Absolute True Story of Santa Claus. It's got romance, adventure, blood, guts and a little bit of holiday cheer, which means it'll appeal to both the girls and boys. I'm rather proud of how it turned out. … Continue reading Star Bright and Alarms

So it's been two weeks since Corruptor was released into the wild, and I've learned a few things: A book sold on Amazon is a good sale; An ebook sold on Amazon a bunch of times is better; Wondering how your sales are going every five minutes is not conducive to completing anything else; There … Continue reading Two Weeks Later

Nothing new today, just researching and finishing the touches on a few minor projects. I'm working on a short story based on something out of feudal Japan (Nobunaga era) for a friend's potential anthology. But better still... This Friday I'm giving you something special for Christmas. No, not that. Perverts. I swear, I can't take … Continue reading Free Friday! …and Tibet While You’re At It.

Above are some of the locations where people have purchased Corruptor in print form. How do I know? Well, read on. So Amazon has a new feature for authors in the sales section called "Bookscan", which tracks the location and amount of books sold the prior week by companies using bookscan. I don't know if … Continue reading Author Central
