What a crazy few weeks it has been! Packing up to move was an adventure, to say the least. It was one of those last-minute "Oh crap, we're leaving in 3 days and we're not finished packing!" sort of things. 1 star out of 5, do not recommend. But with the help of our friends … Continue reading Crazy Train to the South
Moving Day Is Close
Not that I'm counting or anything, but I'm eight days away from moving out of my house and to another state. I'm super excited about moving for my new job. However, there's a little sentimental attachment I have to this place. My current house goes up for sale in a few weeks, if not sooner … Continue reading Moving Day Is Close
2021 Year In Review
So... yeah. That happened. I have to admit, when the year started I was full of hope. 2020 had sucked hard enough for three years, so I figured 2021 would be a lot better. In some regards, it was. I finished two books and almost completed three others. I actually attended two conventions last year, … Continue reading 2021 Year In Review
Merry Christmas
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas today.
Worldcon 2023
I enjoy kicking a hornet's nest. Seriously. Outside of hating the Red Sox and Patriots (eh, New England in general... and I'll throw New York into it just to piss both of them off), it's probably my favorite past time. But this? This is gold. I couldn't have gotten this level of schadenfreude if I'd … Continue reading Worldcon 2023
SERVANTS OF WAR Book Review
DISCLAIMER: This review was an awkward one for me to write for many reasons. I wasn't going to publish this after I wrote it. One of the primary reasons for my hesitation, naturally, that this is a book written by a author I am currently writing a book with (Larry Correia), and my review might … Continue reading SERVANTS OF WAR Book Review
Christmas Ordering
Just a few quick reminders... USPS runs slow this time of the year. If you want a print copy of A CHRISTMAS SURPRISE to have before Dec 24, you probably should order by this Friday to make certain it'll arrive in time.In that same vein, remember it might take longer if you're shipping to Hawaii … Continue reading Christmas Ordering
Unnecessary Hate
So I've seen a lot of hate directed towards two new television series which have come out the past week -- the live action remake of COWBOY BEBOP, and the adaptation of THE WHEEL OF TIME. Having seen both, I have opinions (not that anyone cares... well, one of my most visited posts ever on … Continue reading Unnecessary Hate
The Mysteriously Disappearing Author
"Where has Jason been?" I'm sure someone asked. In fact, I'm almost positive I heard it come from the peanut gallery. Well, I turned in the final draft of CHICKS IN TANK TOPS to Baen Books on Thursday, so that's eaten up a lot of my time. I also traveled to another state for a … Continue reading The Mysteriously Disappearing Author
FactoryCon 2021 AAR — Writer’s Retreat Edition
I just got back from FactoryCon 2021 yesterday and man, Chris Kennedy Publishing knows how to do a convention. For those of you who don't know, CKP is the overall publisher of imprints Bloodmoon Press, Theogony Books, Seventh Seal Press... it's actually quite an impressive list. They're always looking for authors and if you sign … Continue reading FactoryCon 2021 AAR — Writer’s Retreat Edition
Keep Afloat
Today has been a perfect example of why I've kept this website up and running for 13 years now. John Scalzi once said (I'm quoting from memory, so it might not be word for word) -- "Social media platforms come and go... but your website? That'll be around long after." Don't get me wrong. Facebook, … Continue reading Keep Afloat

Helping Out Another
This week, I want to talk to you about a friend of mine I've known for **cough cough mumble** years now who only recently became an author. His name? Shane Gries. Shane writes what I like to call epic space opera. He's less about the "pew pew!" and more about the story and plot. Not … Continue reading Helping Out Another
Wyvacon 2021 AAR — The Unnamed Virus of Unspecified Origin Edition
Wyvacon 2021 Okay, so first off, it's Why-vuh-con and not Wiv-uh-con like I thought. Yeah, English continues to bully me, even when I try to speak it and claim to be one of those writer types as my full-time job. I had a lot of fun at Wyvacon this year. Granted, I always have a … Continue reading Wyvacon 2021 AAR — The Unnamed Virus of Unspecified Origin Edition
