Reviewed Out of the Dark by David Weber over at SBR. Decent book, though you wouldn't know it if you read the Amazon reviews. I liked it, and since only my opinion matters.... Heh, yeah right. But all in all, not bad. I'm slightly annoyed, however, because I just bought my third copy of Monster … Continue reading A Wasted Wednesday
Blog Update
Music For The Day
I'm humming along to this as I write "Wraithkin". I blame last Tuesday's episode of "Glee" for getting this song stuck in my head. Thanks, Sam.
A Week(end) in Review
So Corruptor seems to be doing okay in the initial sales. I'd like to see higher sales (naturally), but the amount I've sold so far with so little publicity behind it is amazing. I am truly blessed to have great people read this blog and show interest in an author and book nobody has really … Continue reading A Week(end) in Review
Corruptor Is Available!!!
Yes, it's just the non-DRM formatting, and I don't think the cover is up, but the book in its entirety is now available at Twilight Times! OMGWTFBBQ!!!1!1! Uh, yeah. Go buy it, if you're interested...
Friday I’m In Love…
It's Friday! Do you know what that means? Neither do I, actually. Just a few notes today about other people. Not nearly as exciting as it could be but hey, I'm easy to please. First off, congratulations to Larry Correia. I interviewed him a few months back and this past week he hit the NYT bestseller … Continue reading Friday I’m In Love…
You Got The Flow?
I decided not to go north for my super secret thingy today and instead, I shall take a break from writing and spend a few moments with you, the reader. How does that make you feel? Violated? Shush, who asked you anyways... Someone posted JK Rowling's flowchart on how she plots, schemes and whazzitted her … Continue reading You Got The Flow?
Squidea The Sky, With Diamonds
First off, many people on here will notice (or maybe not) that I have a new link up down near the middle of the page. Feel free to go look, I'll wait. Yeah, that link. You see it? No? The one below that, says "Squidea"? Yeah, that link. Squidea is a new web design and … Continue reading Squidea The Sky, With Diamonds
Quick News
Barb Caffrey wrote a new review over at the sister site, Shiny Book Review. "The Crucible of Empire", sequel to Flint and Wentworth's stellar "The Course of Empire", is a great read apparently, and I for one can't wait to get my hands on it. Shows went well last weekend, one more weekend and then … Continue reading Quick News
Books Ahoy!
There's nothing more satisfying than seeing a finished product being enjoyed by the population. It doesn't matter if you're an artist, an author, a parent or an actor. To see people appreciate something you've put so much energy and effort into is rewarding unto itself. But a good artist, author, etc. knows that one should … Continue reading Books Ahoy!
Tech Week
Tech week. TECH week. TECH WEEK!!! In theater, there's always that final week before you open the show. You know, the week when everything goes wrong, the technical people (lights and sound mostly) are still working out the kinks while the actors (who are no longer allowed to call for their line) desperately struggle to … Continue reading Tech Week
This Week in Babbling…
Posting may be a little erratic this week, since A Bad Year For Tomatoes opens Thursday, October 7th. Tickets are still available for the opening night. Got a message from a few people this week about Google search and yours truly. If you type in "jason cordova" it recommends "corruptor" to help you finish it … Continue reading This Week in Babbling…
Influential Books
"But Jason", someone's going to say, "there's s-e-x in the book!" Trust me. If a 16 year old doesn't know anything about sex after listening to the current Top 20 on the radio, then they live in a place where the children can't read books like this anyways or the radio station is nothing but classical music.
Disorderly Misconduct
Just how much creative license can one person take before the reality police pull them over for disorderly conduct? I was emailing Barb Caffrey earlier about some military terminology and what you can get away with when I realized that, by and large, the majority of scifi writers get crucified whenever their math is incorrect. … Continue reading Disorderly Misconduct
Plague Revisited
When the plague visits me (I call getting sick the plague, FYI) I generally have little production or interaction with the human species. So it's a short and sweet "How do you cope?" when you're sick question today. Ugh, when will these meds kick in...?
100th Post and a Snippet
I'm going to just say "Have a good weekend" and enjoy this little tease of a snippet from Wraithkin
