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
Release Date Confirmed
I was informed the release date for my next novel published by Seventh Seal Press (an imprint of Chris Kennedy Publishing) will be released Jan 3, 2020. 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
Reflections
My earliest science fiction memory wasn't the normal one. I remember I was a young child on my way somewhere. One of the group homes I was at was going on a weekend camping trip to Lake Mead, and the four of us kids were sleeping in the back of the truck underneath the protective … Continue reading Reflections
Name of the Game?
I just got back from Colorado yesterday and I'm still beat, so I'll make this brief. I might put up a full-on AAR about the Colorado trip but then, it was pretty boring. The train trip was... interesting, to say the least, Patchouli Rod, you shall live on forever in infamy. Two new anthology invites … Continue reading Name of the Game?
A Plan Comes Together
Just a quick update to let everyone who comes here that yes, I am still alive and no, I haven't stopped writing. Far from it, in fact. Right now my problem seems to be too many pieces of iron in the forge. My co-author Jamie Ibson and I have finally settled on a title for … Continue reading A Plan Comes Together
Dragoncon 2019 AAR — Vacation Mode Engaged Edition
This year's Dragoncon was a weird one for me. Not because it was my second year there, but because I was only there for two days. I had reasons for scheduling things like this, but the primary one was money. If you didn't know, Dragoncon is very expensive to attend. Not because of the convention, … Continue reading Dragoncon 2019 AAR — Vacation Mode Engaged Edition
