Right now, this very instance, for the next week or so, if you click this link you will discover that Amazon is currently offering my debut novel for a mere $2.99 as an ebook. This is the perfect time to buy it before it goes back up to $6.50.

TV Moment
Okay, so I watched my prerequisite television today (DVR'd When Aliens Attack, which featured some great people I know like John Ringo, Travis S. Taylor and Bob Boan, as well as caught the season finale of Glee) and I couldn't get the feeling out of my head that this summer is going to be nothing … Continue reading TV Moment
Good Morning!
Well, I did promise to work on one of the short stories I had due. Unfortunately, instead of working on the Catechisms story, I found myself working on the Adventurers in Hell story, In the Shadow of Paradise. Still, considering that the story is almost at completion, I don't feel too bad about that now. … Continue reading Good Morning!
Comfort Zones
In shock today over last night's season finale of "Castle". Just absolute shock. Was working on various projects today (editing and cleaning) but my mind just couldn't get over the two major events of the show. This has been really messing with my ability to actually focus on the task(s) at hand and kill whatever … Continue reading Comfort Zones
More Award Nominations
I've also been nominated for "Best Near Future/Post Apocalyptic Novel" in 2010. Just saw this today. Michael Z Williamson was nominated for "Best Space Opera" while Colonel Tom Kratman was nominated for "Best MilSF". Spread the word and vote!
Off The Rails
I really tapped into one of my neurotic, psychotic characters from a short story last night and had a moment where nothing made sense and everything was clear. That was... adventurous, to say the least. Note to self: do NOT write freaky, insane, mind-twisting, paranoid and spooky characters while stressed out about multiple projects and … Continue reading Off The Rails
Weather and SF
That was one wild storm that rolled through here last night. Everything is okay here, just a little wet from the storm. No massive trees down this time, though there was a little flash flooding. You know, I've always wondered just how many stories use weather as the driving antagonist in a story. I've seen … Continue reading Weather and SF
Today Versus Tomorrow
Got and finished 1636: The Saxon Uprising by Eric Flint yesterday. Usually Flint has cute, quaint little lines but in this book he actually laid down a few that made me laugh out loud. They reminded me why I picked up 1632... damn, almost ten years ago now. It's the longest series I've followed (excluding … Continue reading Today Versus Tomorrow
Curmudgeon!
I'm in a foul mood this morning. Last night, a school under investigation for alleged recruitment violations won the national basketball championship. Never mind the fact, apparently, that this championship is probably going to be stripped and vacated. Never mind the school that got beat was (so far as one can tell) following the rules … Continue reading Curmudgeon!
Another Round of Jack (Squat)
About fourteen months ago, a webzine called Darwin's Evolutions went on hiatus. That made me sad, mostly because I know Darwin and he's a good guy. Also because at the time, before the explosion of ebooks into the mainstream, there were very few epublishers who were accepting unsolicited works. That, of course, has changed over … Continue reading Another Round of Jack (Squat)
Another Boring Update
Well, I no longer feel as though I've been flattened by a truck. This is a good thing. Just got my invite back to Mysticon for 2012. The invites are going out this weekend. Apparently I jumped the gun when I emailed my contact person last night asking about it. Ah well, now I know. … Continue reading Another Boring Update
Cone of Shame
Look at me. Now look back at yourself, now back to me. I'm disappointed in you. You, that individual sitting at your computer screen, reading this on your Blackberry. It oozes out of every pore, the disappointment. It reeks of many things, hardly any which are pleasant. Yes, go hang your head in embarrassment. Wear that … Continue reading Cone of Shame
Researching
I hate Wikipedia for most research but for fiction writing, it can be helpful. Back in Denver (where the majority of my stuff is still at) I have a library of research books. Books about the Crusades, various wars in history, and famous leaders throughout the Middle Ages were always ready for me. But now … Continue reading Researching
Whoopsies… Uh, Free Books!
Had a moment of panic last night while i was hashing out some minor details for Wraithkin (did you know that when an object orbits around the sun it's called a heliocentric orbit? I didn't know that...) when my Pandora station warned me that I was about all out of music for the month. You … Continue reading Whoopsies… Uh, Free Books!
It’s Child’s Play
Had a bit of a head cold this weekend (which sucked, I'll add) but apparently I'm all better now. Last week was a very productive week in the Wraithkin universe. Not only did I crank out 17,000 words, I might actually keep about 9,000 of it, which is pretty good for me (yes, new authors... … Continue reading It’s Child’s Play
