Similar in appearance to Kaiju Apocalypse (but a different universe and story altogether, I promise) here is the rough draft cover for Murder World: Kaiju Dawn. Co-authored with Eric S. Brown again (we make quite the team -- this is the third book we've collaborated on in the past 8 months), it should see a release over the next … Continue reading Cover Reveal!

Sold! And Please Tip Your Waiter
That turnaround time has to be some sort of record. Murder World has a new title and a home. Severed Press (those who brought you Kaiju Apocalypse by myself and Eric S. Brown) bought it Wednesday morning (less than 12 hours after we finished it), and we decided to go with a different title. It's now Murder World: Kaiju Dawn. Why … Continue reading Sold! And Please Tip Your Waiter
Murder World Complete
Finished Murder World today. Clocking in at around 52,500 words, it's quite frankly one hellishly fun and exciting book. I love each and every one of the characters, and whenever I killed one, I almost felt bad for them (almost... I've been watching a lot of Game of Thrones lately). Right now the Super Awesome Beta Reader Team is … Continue reading Murder World Complete
All About
First off, I wanted to thank everyone who bought a copy of Kaiju Apocalypse this weekend. Cracking the Top 100 in multiple genres was... well, it blew my mind. The sales are still going (#18,000 or so last I checked... if you bought it, by the way, have you reviewed it yet? That helps even more!), and … Continue reading All About
Kaiju Day 3

Kaiju Day 2
So one of my friends posted the following on Facebook: Hey folks, does your life not have enough excitement? wah wah music plays> Do you long for the days of being able to pick up a book and lose yourself in the heroic struggles of man against 300 ft. tall alien/dragon/dinosaur things? Was 'Pacific Rim' … Continue reading Kaiju Day 2
It’s Here!
Big news today! Kaiju Apocalypse is out and available via ebook over on Amazon. Best part about this? Amazon Prime members get it for free! Yeah, thought that would get your attention. So go forth, buy it, pay for my kitties' kibble (and Sophie's treats). If you don't, you probably don't love kitties and puppies and, more … Continue reading It’s Here!
Coming Soon
Final proof copy of Kaiju Apocalypse was turned in late last night (I think I finished going over it at around 0045). There were some formatting issues (what is it with me and screwed-up formatting?) but nothing I couldn't handle. It should be out any day now in ebook format (and maybe print). It'll be my first … Continue reading Coming Soon
Another Cover Reveal
By far a favorite cover of mine. Kaiju Apocalypse, coauthored with the amazing Eric S. Brown. Coming soon from Severed Press.
Novella Sold
Kaiju Apocalypse, a novella I wrote with Eric S. Brown, was sold this morning to Severed Press. I'm very happy at this, since it's been about a month since I sold anything and I was beginning to get antsy once more. Now I'm working on two things -- Prince of the Rotted, my Babylonian zombie story, and Murder … Continue reading Novella Sold
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

Book Review Query
So I didn't watch the Super Bowl last night. Not out of some high and mighty stance or anything. I didn't feel like getting out of the house to watch it. I don't have a TV, and I hate live streaming anything over the internet. My poor bandwidth, man! Plus I really don't care about … Continue reading Book Review Query
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
Butthurt
I was thinking of writing an article today on race and science fiction, but... meh. No matter which "way" I transcribe it, someone's going to get butthurt over it. Not "mildly disagreeing" with me, and not a "I think you're wrong and this is why" conversation, but generally butthurt. Why? Because people are combative and … Continue reading Butthurt
