So the word came in that Larry Correia and I won an Imadjinn Award for our novel Monster Hunter Memoirs: Fever in the category of Best Urban Fantasy novel last night at the Imaginarium Convention. I've attached part of their press release below. The Imaginarium 2024 Awards Banquet was held last evening, where the winners … Continue reading 2024 Imadjinn Award

Another Cover Reveal
This is Side Hustle: Volume 2, a collection of previously published short stories (with one or two never before seen stories). Look for it this coming November exclusively on Amazon. Yes, that's Quintus Fox on the cover. I have five Quintus stories in the collection. Why? Because Quintus Fox is one of my favorite characters … Continue reading Another Cover Reveal
Early Access Copy is OUT!
Mountain of Fire is currently available as an eARC (electronic Advance Reader Copy) now from Baen Books. Baen typically releases these a few months out for readers who simply cannot wait to get their hands on the book. While this isn't the final corrected proof, it's close enough that it is the same version sent … Continue reading Early Access Copy is OUT!
What Does the Author Read?
If you asked my teachers during my "formative" years, I wasn't much of a reader. Oh, I read books that I had to, mostly because English classes required it. To this day I still have a profound hatred for Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea, thanks to an overzealous high school English teacher. … Continue reading What Does the Author Read?
Earning Out vs Sell Through
I thought about having some witty, clever title to this until I realized that this was going to be a business post. So I decided to go with a serious title. Well, as serious as I can be, at least. I've been talking with a few people lately about the advantages (and disadvantages) of being … Continue reading Earning Out vs Sell Through
…and Jason Forgot the Title (Again)
I meant to post this a week ago, but... oops? The copyeditor found some things in Mountain of Fire I'd missed (hilariously, I'd screwed up a part of the timeline in the Black Tide Rising universe after proclaiming "This is the cleanest story timeline I've done!") but those were easy fixes and the final page … Continue reading …and Jason Forgot the Title (Again)

Wild Side
The past week has been a little wild. Nick and I cracked the halfway point in the second book of our duology. The last time we did this, the second half of the book was written in about 10 days. His work schedule is hectic right now, though, so maybe two more weeks. We're definitely … Continue reading Wild Side
Update and Cover Reveal
I have been so stupidly busy between work and writing the past month or so that I haven't had time to update the website. There has been a lot going on! The biggest news, of course, is that the cover reveal for my first Baen solo novel, retitled "MOUNTAIN OF FIRE," was, uh, revealed yesterday. … Continue reading Update and Cover Reveal
Side Hustle: Vol. 1 is LIVE!
I've been secretly-ish working on collecting some of my short stories I've had published over the years and waiting for the rights to revert back to me. Now that most of them have (I have a few holdouts which will come out in a second, later volume) I can collect them into one big collection … Continue reading Side Hustle: Vol. 1 is LIVE!
Helicon Award Win
It's award season, and here's my annual "Do not nominate me for a Hugo because I will decline it" post. Give your nomination to someone else. However, MONSTER HUNTER MEMOIRS: FEVER did win the 2024 Helicon Award for Best Horror Novel. W00T! You'll probably see a lot of familiar names on that list. Here's a … Continue reading Helicon Award Win

SIX WRITERS are banding together to bring you a giveaway … Continue reading Six Authors, Five Free Books
MARSCON 2024 AAR — The “Getting Old Sucks” Edition
So Marscon was a hit again this year. Thanks to Joel and his amazing staff for making the con run smoothly (in spite all the issues outside forces were trying to cause with the con itself, the staff handled everything with class and grace). So we actually arrived late Thursday night and after a few … Continue reading MARSCON 2024 AAR — The “Getting Old Sucks” Edition
2023 Year in Review
So 2023 was a wild year in publishing for me. It was one of the busiest years in terms of books published, as well as words written. In 2023 I managed to have 3 novels published, 1 anthology I edited published, as well as 3 short stories (to be fair, one of those is cheating … Continue reading 2023 Year in Review
Marscon Schedule
I'll have a more detailed update in a few days when I do my 2023 Year in Review post. Sorry I haven't posted a lot since the Utah trip. I had a book to finish. Here's my schedule for Marscon, which will be held from Jan 12-14 in Virginia Beach, Virginia Panel DescriptionPanelistsBAEN ROAD SHOWReview … Continue reading Marscon Schedule
