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

Release Day
Hero's Best Friend was released today and is available on both Kindle and Nook. You want to support your local author, then buy this book. Kindle link Nook link Also, if you purchase it, take a few moments to fill out a review on B&N and/or Amazon. It really helps out.
Cover Reveal
And, at long last, I can show off the cover for Hero's Best Friend, which contains my story Hill 142, the untold (and completely alternate) version of the Battle of Belleau Wood during World War One. Edit: Oh, I probably should mention that this is coming out in the next few weeks from Seventh Star Press. Here's … Continue reading Cover Reveal
Another Cover Update
...and after seeing the new cover for Sha'Daa: Tales of the Apocalypse last night, I received an email this morning from another publisher about the cover for Hero's Best Friend, where my story Hill 142 resides and is awaiting print. The cover is in, and I must say that it looks gorgeous. There's going to be a … Continue reading Another Cover Update
New Book
So an interesting development... As you may already know, I had a story titled Crouching Seal, Sleeping Dragon published in a shared-world type of anthology called Sha'Daa: Pawns in 2012. It was pretty well-received all in all, and I created one my favorite characters to date. Fast forward to this evening. The editor/creator of the series, Michael H. Hanson, … Continue reading New Book
End of Year Time
Tonight I'm going to celebrate the end of 2013 with panache and class. Yep, I'm going to crack open a bottle of champagne, cook up some finger foods and pass out around 11:30PM. That's just how I roll. I'm so hardcore. I'm looking back over 2013 and I must say I'm rather pleased with what … Continue reading End of Year Time
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
Oops… Forgot the Title
It's a little chilly this morning, so there is some writing about to commence. First, however, I must share something. I have designed my very first book cover. No, not the art (I can't draw worth a damn), but designed the title, author name, spine design, etc. It's my first effort, but I think if I … Continue reading Oops… Forgot the Title
The Working Man
Part of the writing process often involves sitting back, looking over what you've done, feeling pleased and accomplished with yourself, and then ruthlessly cutting most of it during the edits. My writer--brain screams in pain every time I do this. My editor--brain chuckles evilly. One of the things I've seen over the years is that … Continue reading The Working Man
#amwriting
#amwriting is, apparently, my most popular Twitter hashtag. For some reason, it's about a million other peoples as well. Seriously, I am the least original person in the world sometimes. I'm still waiting to hear back about Hill 142. Patience is not my strong point, especially when I'm more than ready to crank out more stuff … Continue reading #amwriting
Trolling For Love
I made a huge mistake today. I got sucked back into Wikipedia. There's just something amazingly addictive about updating wiki pages while adding information, updating, and even deleting irrelevant material. It's not as though I have nothing else to do (he writes as he stares at the open word document which has been mocking him … Continue reading Trolling For Love
Remove Blockage Here
I'm doing some random posting today, so if you don't want to read a very meandering post, kindly step away from the computer. It'll be for the best. I'm stuck. I'm really effing stuck. Not a writer's block, no. It's more of a "this character did this and now she's got me stuck" kind of … Continue reading Remove Blockage Here
Dreamers in Hell cover
This is the absolutely gorgeous cover for the latest anthology I'm in, coming out at the end of this month. Dreamers in Hell contains my short Ponce de Leon story, In the Shadow of Paradise. It should be on sale at Libertycon, where many of the authors (16? 17?) featured in the book will be on hand to sign copies.
Jason’s Doctor Who Love Fest Continues
Hey, look at that, a 0600 post. Strange, no? Well, you can think of this little scheduling thingy they have for future posts, or believe that I really am awake early in the morning typing this, sans Starbucks. Your call. I just finished the David Tennant seasons of Doctor Who and am now on to the Matt … Continue reading Jason’s Doctor Who Love Fest Continues
Another Book Release
Still at the farm, and realizing that I miss being out here with my friends. I'm doing some writing, but with Google Drive/Docs being a little screwy, I'm not in my usual "flow" of things. On the other hand, I'm writing. So... eh? I'll be back to regular posting this Friday. I'll also be back … Continue reading Another Book Release
