The countdown for Sha'Daa: Pawns is now on. T-minus three days until the release. If you're wondering why I'm so excited, it's because my story Crouching Seal, Sleeping Dragon is featured in this little anthology. Be prepared to buy it. Why? Why not? Spread the word. Sha'Daa is coming!

Getting The Point
Tomorrow I'm going down to Louisville, KY for my second major motion picture movie role (undoubtedly Extra #1,298), so my quasi-usual Tuesday review won't be up until Wednesday. I'm torn because while I need to review Partials by Dan Wells, I also need to review Sygillis of Metatron by Ben Garcia. However, what's making it very difficult is … Continue reading Getting The Point
Under the Gun
I'm writing, dearies. no worries there. I've just been writing at a much slower pace than I am used to. It makes for an interesting clash, since my brain is telling me the story faster than I want to write it. This is a curious problem, no doubt. Not a bad one, mind you. Just... curious. Wraithkin is … Continue reading Under the Gun
Привет товарищ! (or, Greetings Comrade!)
Hello to all my new Russian friends! Well, at least my info says that all my more recent new visitors are from Russia. Considering I haven't been there since 1999, they must be new friends, right? Besides, it's not like I did anything wrong in Russia... or Israel... or Turkey... and we're not talking about … Continue reading Привет товарищ! (or, Greetings Comrade!)
Sharpening Knives
Nightwalker is going to crack 10,000 words. The Editor... will not be pleased. It won't be more than 10,500 (I hope) so here's to getting it done. Besides, aren't editors around to neuter shorten stories for authors? I'm certain it's in the contract somewhere... Delving more and more into the Plantagenet/Tudor dynastic reigns as I gear … Continue reading Sharpening Knives
Now Write!
I tore a hole in my finger last night and it sucks. However, I am not letting that deter me from writing today. I'm pulling one of my rare "Sleep is for the dead" days and trying to achieve a goal of 3,000 newly written words (no, blogging doesn't count). So far I'm at... uh... … Continue reading Now Write!
Interviewed
Just wrapped up an interview for Book in the Bag, a review site that is going live soon-ish. The interview is scheduled for October 1st and I had a lot of fun with the questions they asked. Okay, perhaps too much fun. Love it or hate it, it's done. Wrote a book review last night … Continue reading Interviewed
Wrath of the Book Gods
At the risk of incurring the wrath of the book review gods (because my reviewing schedule is as steady as the men in Kim Kardashian's life), I plan on reviewing Sygillis of Metatron (The League of Elders, Book 1) by Ben Garcia tomorrow over at Shiny Book Review. It's a strange name, yeah, but it's a … Continue reading Wrath of the Book Gods
That Blurry Line Between Fact and WTF?
Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction. If I submitted a novel to a publisher with some of the stuff that has happened this week in the world (embassy killings, countries apologizing for making protesters angry enough to kill ambassadors, the riots catching people by surprise, political leaders who seem to be clueless) I'd be shot done … Continue reading That Blurry Line Between Fact and WTF?
Good News For A Friend
Yay! My good friend Barb Caffrey has recently inked a deal with one of my publishers. Barb, as some of you know, is one of my reviewers over at Shiny Book Review. This is exciting news because she was almost convinced that she would never find a home for the novel. Now it's residing at Twilight … Continue reading Good News For A Friend
Whooshing
Finally got around to reviewing The Kingmakers. Too bad for you that it's not being posted for another two weeks. Why? Well, because the book doesn't come out until Sept 4. The first Failsafe novel (right now, tentatively titled Beneath A Banner Burned) is moving very, very nicely along. I don't know what it is about brunette air … Continue reading Whooshing
Saving Yourself From Yourself
I have to admit, I'm not a fan of Apple. Oh, I have an iPhone, don't get me wrong. I like it. It works for me and it does what I want it to do. That being said, I don't worship at the altar of Jobs. I don't drink the Kool-Aid. I don't hand Apple … Continue reading Saving Yourself From Yourself
Wibbly-Wobbly
Oh wow, a day off from work. I think I remember what these feel like. I'm supposed to, uh... rest? I dunno. As I mentioned the other day, I'm waiting on two more submissions I have out right now. One of them have great chances of being picked up by the editor; the other was an … Continue reading Wibbly-Wobbly
Another Story
Just got word that I've been accepted (officially) into the next Dreams of Steam anthology from Kerlak. My short, "The Finder's Keeper", can be previewed here. I'll have a link and cover art as soon as I have it. Waiting on news for two more stories. Meanwhile, am working nonstop and am in the midst of a damn-near … Continue reading Another Story
Interviewed-ish
Hey, someone felt sorry for me and went ahead and let my muse speak. Scary, right? Well, here's the link. Also, writing. I'll be around for a real update soon.
