My interview with SF Shenanigans went live yesterday. Had a lot of fun with JR and Chris as we discussed the new subgenre of LitRPG and how The Warp falls into that category. We also discussed early influences and how I totally fanboi'd Timothy Zahn the first time I met him. Interview here  

Got an email from another publisher this past week explaining that the next anthology I'm in, Sha'Daa: Toys, is either going to come out at the end of March or mid-April. This is great actually, since mid-April is the same time that Darkling will be released. One week, two books... haven't done that since September of last year. … Continue reading More News of Books

Still writing, still forgetting to update the website regularly. Deathlords is currently just over 50% complete. I had to go back and delete some stuff due to it simply not working, but the goal of having it done and turned in by April 30 is good. I estimate getting it to the First Readers by April … Continue reading March Update

I just got over some viral infection (yay!) so things have been slow around at Casa Cordova these past few weeks. I am definitely looking forward to the release of Darkling on April 13, 2018. I am also still hard at work on Deathlords, which is looking more and more like a Libertycon 31 release (June 29-July … Continue reading Brief Update

Turned in the completed Darkling to my publisher over at Theogony Books and am super excited about this. So far the First Reader responses have been far more enthusiastic over this book than they were with Wraithkin, which is saying something. Already 30% of the way through Deathlords as well. The deeper I get into this series the easier it's becoming … Continue reading Turned In

2017 was a strange year. It had some tremendous highs and a few lows. The hardest part of the year was putting down Wally-cat. He was still a young cat (6 years old) when the decision was made. He was suffering from kidney failure and it was a genetic thing that nobody caught until he … Continue reading 2017 Year In Review

...until Devastator is live. Not that I'm counting. Yesterday I was going through Darkling before I started really cranking it out and finishing it up by New Year's (that's my goal) when I realized that I had an empty chapter placeholder just... sitting there. Like that puppy in the window that nobody wants, Chapter 11 was just staring at … Continue reading 19 Days

22 days and counting until Book 2 of The Warp is released. Devastator is, in my opinion, a terrific story. The pacing is fast, which is typical for me, but the story unfolds at just the right amount of time. Drama? Got it. Love story? Check. 22 days. Start the countdown. In the meanwhile, I'll be finishing up Darkling, … Continue reading 22 Day Countdown

I typically don’t read books while I’m writing one of my own. Call it undue influence because yes, I am influenced by books which I read and enjoy. So for me to pick up a book and read it from start to finish in two days while writing “Darkling” is a strange occurrence. Nonetheless, I … Continue reading The Hoarding of Words

Also in the news today, Book 2 of The Warp has been turned in. As a prize, my publisher let me show off the latest cover for Devastator. The long-awaited sequel to Corruptor is much better (in my opinion) though a bit shorter. I can't wait to see this book in print next year.

I do seem to be having a lot of these lately, don't I? The Good, The Bad, and The Merc is currently live on Amazon. My short story, Keep the Home Fires Burning, continues the tale of the Kakata Korps as they take a new contract and discover a new purpose in life. I really enjoy writing … Continue reading Book Release Day!
