So my very first Dragoncon is in the books and I gotta say, with a few exceptions I had the best time of my life. So without much ado, rewind to 9 days ago... I was going to leave Wednesday originally but work requirements prevented this from happening. So instead I left the house at … Continue reading 2018 Dragoncon AAR (and long awaited update)
Conventions
Origins
First they came for John Ringo, but I said nothing, for I was not John Ringo. Next they came for Larry Correia, but this time I spoke up, for Larry is a brother to me, and I will bleed for my brother, and I will show no fear in the face of our enemy. … Continue reading Origins
Finished and Other News
Two things... First off, Darkling is finished! It's now off and in the hands of the Super Mega Awesome Beta Force Crew for dissemination and assassination. Book 2 of the Kin Wars Saga had a ton of heartache, loyalty, and betrayal. Let the song of victory play! https://youtu.be/MH9FyLsfDzw Secondly, my article about the current kerfuffle within the … Continue reading Finished and Other News
Libertycon 27 AAR
So Libertycon 27 came to a close and all in all, it went tremendously well. I met new people, made new friends, ran into old friends, made a fool of myself (this is typical) and am now dealing with a very screwed up sleep schedule. So I rolled into Libertycon about three in the afternoon … Continue reading Libertycon 27 AAR
Guest Blogging Elsewhere and Libertycon Schedule
I guest blogged over at Sarah Hoyt's site today. More on the Marion Zimmer Bradley issue, how it relates, and me asking why the SFWA hasn't kicked out their 2013 Grand Master and open pederast Samuel Delaney. I, uh, kinda lost my cool a bit. I'm going radio silent for the weekend. I won't be … Continue reading Guest Blogging Elsewhere and Libertycon Schedule
Uncle Timmy and the Thought Police
I'm going to tell you a little story about a good man who has been slandered and libeled by one individual who is hiding behind the anonymity of the Internets. That good man? Tim "Uncle Timmy" Bolgeo. You see, a pathetic troll whose name I'm not going to bother typing (because it's a nickname that … Continue reading Uncle Timmy and the Thought Police
Stupid Busy
I've been stupidly busy the past few weeks (to steal a line from my friend Gerry). This is going to be a long update, so you may want to grab something to drink, or let the dog out. First off, let me say that Mysticon 2014 was an absolute blast. It went off without a … Continue reading Stupid Busy
Mysticon Schedule
I'm going to be a little busy at Mysticon next weekend, but fear not! I'll be manning the fan table for the Official Honor Harrington Fan Association: The Royal Manticoran Navy quite a bit, so I'll be very easy to find. 5:00PM Friday -- Cats On A Keyboard: Basically we'll be talking about our pets and how … Continue reading Mysticon Schedule
The Accidental Lecture
I sent off Homeworld: Rockfall to my coauthor Eric Brown yesterday afternoon. The first draft is done (yeah, I was slacking) and though it "only" took about 5 weeks to write, that was a rough five weeks. While the book itself isn't the longest thing I've ever written (I'm looking at you, Corruptor) it is, by far, … Continue reading The Accidental Lecture
Respect the Sphere
CIVIL WAR No, I'm not talking about the one in everyone keeps thinking will happen here in the United States. I doubt a civil war could happen (primarily because we have no infrastructure anymore capable of one side or the other ever achieving "victory", as it were) and, if it did, it'd probably be Texas … Continue reading Respect the Sphere
Libertycon 26 Schedule
I meant to do this last week but real life interfered. Okay, so here is my schedule (according to the LC26 website): FRIDAY 5:00 PM -- Opening Ceremonies: Pretty self explanatory, though I may just be hanging out near the back of the room. That's where I usually am during huge crowd gatherings, since I don't … Continue reading Libertycon 26 Schedule
Mysticon 2013 AAR
So it's late Sunday afternoon at Soldier's Retreat and I'm coming down off of the high that was the awesomeness of Mysticon 2013. Finally got to meet Col. Tom Kratman in person, which was a hoot, because that man can tell a story. Had to keep it relatively PG-13, however, due to the underage midgets … Continue reading Mysticon 2013 AAR
The Doctor Who Apology Tour
It's not often I'm wrong (only four times a day), so when I am I come out and admit it. I was wrong about Dr. Who. I made the mistake of watching some of the older episodes long ago (late 80's?) and my initial reaction was "Campy". I didn't watch any more episodes after, and when … Continue reading The Doctor Who Apology Tour
Overcommitted Is A Word
Yesterday was weird. I got home, and the next thing I knew it was time to go back to work. I did literally nothing yesterday. No writing. No creating. No editing. No painting. No eating. I don't think I'm sick. But I did miss my word count goal as a result, which has set me back about … Continue reading Overcommitted Is A Word
Mysticon 2013 Schedule
So I received my print copy of What Scares the Boogeyman? in the mail just now. It looks nice, if a bit on the thin side. But since it's only 200+ pages or so, that is to be expected. You can order it now at Amazon and-- --holy crap my computer just scared me! It started my … Continue reading Mysticon 2013 Schedule
