New anthology coming this fall that my story is featured in. This is your warning. Prepare for the Sha'Daa, for it is coming... Edit: the first one was not the right one. Oops.

Where Have All The Villains Gone?
I was responding to something that my computer did to me this morning (stupid cheating AI doesn't know that I know he's cheating so I won't slaughter him in Stronghold Legends...) when it occurred to me that I only enjoy certain types of villains. And believe me, stupid, crushing everything mad "I'm the villain!" characters … Continue reading Where Have All The Villains Gone?
Well Paid Hack
Not apologizing for the lack of updates. Would you rather read this or read something in print (or e-book)? Thought so. Yes, I was working on Wraithkin and Failsafe. I'm also working on Heroes & Rogues, which needs to be done in about two weeks. Oops. I keep linking to both Amanda Green's and Sarah Hoyt's blogs because of … Continue reading Well Paid Hack
See You
I'll be leaving for MidSouthCon tomorrow morning, so this'll be a short update. Don't forget to get your free download of Janet Morris' Beyond Sanctuary today. I don't know how long it'll be at Amazon for free, so you should run and grab a copy now (just in case). No news on the publication date for anything … Continue reading See You
Olympic Sport of Procrastinating
There is a male cardinal on my bird feeder right now, tormenting my kitties. He chirps, they chirp back. The brainwashing has begun. Excellent... Received my first royalty check last week and (I'm rich! Rich! Bite me, haters! Muwahaha!) can now buy myself dinner. Yeah, really. Authors don't generally make a lot of money, you know? … Continue reading Olympic Sport of Procrastinating
Stalk Me At Mysticon
So my programming for Mysticon has arrived and I'm excited. Not because of anything important, just that CON SEASON is upon us (at last!!!). Wanna stalk me (well, discreetly at least)? Without further ado, here is my schedule: Fri, 7:00 PM - Signing Table -- I'll be signing whatever is thrown my way: napkins, boobies, small … Continue reading Stalk Me At Mysticon
The Writing News
Worked a bit on the Sha'Daa: Catechism story, featuring three of the lost Faberge eggs of the Romanovs. It's creepy and fun, but being a little stubborn at the moment. It's hard to write this style, which goes against the grain for me. However, I shall persevere. Or die trying. Two books being reviewed this … Continue reading The Writing News
ONLINE
...and we're back. Sorry for the outage. I originally was leaving up the SOPA/PIPA protest for the weekend, but on Monday I lost my internet ("Lost: Reward" posters were, inevitably, a failure) and only got back online today. That means I missed my review on SBR, lots of interesting things on the 'net... ...and the … Continue reading ONLINE
Accepted
I guess I can make it official now. I have another short story, In the Shadow of Paradise, that is going to be in the next Heroes in Hell anthology, titled "Adventurers in Hell". It's a great story starring Ponce de Leon, he of the Fountain of Youth fame, and it took a lot of … Continue reading Accepted
Pondering
I worked 50+ hours this past weekend, so not much has been done around any writing projects. I knew working this much was going to take a toll, but dang has it been rough. I didn't think I would make it around Saturday evening, but somehow I did. Wish I could say I found some inner … Continue reading Pondering
BOOK BOMB
Tomorrow we help out an amazing author and his family. Go to Monster Hunter Nation for more info. BOOK BOMB!
The Novel That Wasn’t
Ever read a science fiction novel and realize halfway through that it... wasn't? I'm reading this story right now that someone sent me (friend of a friend, apparently) and it was billed as a SF novel. I went ahead and started reading it and realized about 100 pages in that it was more of a … Continue reading The Novel That Wasn’t
Nobody’s As Cool As LeVar
The wonderful Sarah Hoyt (a writer who blogs, who is one of my favorite people) was talking about the "Art of the Human Condition" this morning over at her blog (read it here) and just what people seem to want. The quotes are mine, since it was hard for me to sum up the entirety … Continue reading Nobody’s As Cool As LeVar
Read A Book, Read A Book!
Somehow I went 40 hours with only 45 minutes sleep and only mildly went insane (my poor coworkers...). I promise to never* do that again. The lack of sleep I mean. The insanity was fun. Nothing new to report (well, minus the lack of a few brain cells but eh, I won't miss them...) and nothing … Continue reading Read A Book, Read A Book!
Two Down, Three To Go
Fired off The Cold to the editor this morning after anguishing over it for two hours this morning. It appears to be done but I'm my own harshest critic, so I was very anxious this morning. Nonetheless, it's off, out of my hands, waiting for approval. That frees me up to do more writing, including wrapping … Continue reading Two Down, Three To Go
