Personally, 2019 was probably one of the hardest years I've dealt with in a very long time. Professionally? It was my best. I don't deal with loss well. It's part of the reason I don't "bond" well with people. I can connect, but a deep bond is very hard for me to do, and even … Continue reading The State of the Author – 2019 in Review
Book Release Day

This will be fixed soon.) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1676095799 A CHRISTMAS SURPRISE officially launches today and I am super excited. Emily over at Mottfolio Studios has done some tremendous work bringing the cover to life, as well as adding some interior work which is amazing … Continue reading Book Release Day
Baby Kaiju Sighting!
NORAD every year tracks Santa as he makes his way across the US because we don't want another incident like in 1991, when two F-18's were scrambled out of Lackland AFB when an unidentified aircraft violated the restricted airspace. Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed when the UFO was identified as a sleigh being pulled by eight … Continue reading Baby Kaiju Sighting!
Webster Award Finalist
Just found out this morning that my novel, SONS OF THE LION, is a finalist for the Webster Award handed out at Ravencon in Virginia next year. The Webster Award is awarded to Virginia's best author. I'm competing against my friend R. S. Belcher this year. Last year my other friend and publisher, Chris Kennedy, … Continue reading Webster Award Finalist
The Match of the Century
I've had to step back from social media this past week. It's not for anything bad. It's just quickly becoming a time sink where I spend more time responding to... whatever somebody is butthurt about this week instead of writing. It's why I like this website. My home, my rules, and people don't have to … Continue reading The Match of the Century
More Of This
Two great things for today. First, FREEHOLD: RESISTANCE is out in the wild. Barnes & Noble called and told me they had copies in the store, which I'd asked for (I like to stealth sign books). I think Friday I'm going into Roanoke to sign all the copies at both B&N stores. Assuming they still … Continue reading More Of This
Resist
Only two more days until the FREEHOLD: RESISTANCE anthology comes out. I'm super stoked about this one, since my story "The Prayer Wheel", is possibly one of my favorite short stories I've ever written. I also signed a contract to be in the next Freehold Universe anthology, tentatively titled FREEHOLD: DEFIANCE. I have one short … Continue reading Resist
Halls Getting Decked
It's Friday, which means I have friends releasing a book today! Kevin Ikenberry and Quincy Allen have released Book 1 of the Four Horsemen Sagas branch of the Four Horsemen Universe today, titled ENFORCER. What makes this one really cool is this book is the direct sequel of my book GUNBOAT DIPLOMACY with Jamie Ibson, … Continue reading Halls Getting Decked
Thanks
I'm supposed to be raking up leaves and bagging them so the city can pick them up. It's cold out, though, and I don't feel like it. In (edit: ONE WEEK... apparently my math is as bad as I remember it being in college) two weeks the next Freehold Universe anthology, FREEHOLD: RESISTANCE will be … Continue reading Thanks
Book Cover Reveal
I've been having a lot of these this year, courtesy of producing a LOT of written material. GUNBOAT DIPLOMACY will be out on Jan 3, 2020. Co-authored with the always entertaining Jamie Ibson, here is the cover as well as the entire cover art wrap (for the print editions). The pirate kitty skull in the … Continue reading Book Cover Reveal

That's right, Jamie and I have the first book coming out in 2020. We're extremely excited about the potential of GUNBOAT DIPLOMACY and what it means to the … Continue reading Release Date Confirmed
Word Counts Matter
Have you picked up your copy? Yes? Then why not leave a review?https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081FGNWCN I should be writing THE CHRISTMAS SURPRISE but I went down that rabbit hole known as Youtube and discovered Russian slap fighting tournaments. While it sounds straight of of some trashy underground novel, it's a legitimized sport over there, further cementing the … Continue reading Word Counts Matter
Commence the Celebration
Once more doth the song of awesome play! https://youtu.be/RX2gw0ffWG8 That's right, Jamie and I turned in GUNBOAT DIPLOMACY, a novel set in the bestselling Four Horsemen Universe, last night. It's not directly in the main timeline but the sequence of novels after will bring everything up to the main line, which is something we talked … Continue reading Commence the Celebration
Nine
On November 3, 2010, my very first novel ever was officially published. Corruptor was a YA story which told the story of a young girl trapped within a virtual reality video game with friends and enemies alike trying to find their way out while being held hostage. It did okay but interest in it waned … Continue reading Nine
Don’t Stop
It's NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and all I've been seeing from friends is how this year they are going to crush it. Me? Well, I decided to do a different route. I've been bad about updating the website over the past.... nine years. Yeah, this started off as a weird blog before I was … Continue reading Don’t Stop
