Libertycon was a blast as usual, with plenty of programming to go around for everyone. Steampunk? They have authors for that. SF? Same. Fantasy? Oh yeah. Brandy Bolgeo Spraker and her crew of loyal minions once again did an amazing job of putting together a fun and creative convention. This year the Chattanooga Choo Choo … Continue reading Libertycon XXX AAR – The Update Version

I'm taking a quick break this morning from writing Darkling to update the site. Uhhh... huh. Nothing much is going on. Libertycon is less than 2 weeks away and I am super excited about that. My vacation starts in six days (with only 3 days of work before that, cha-ching!) and I'm planning on getting a lot … Continue reading Time Marches On

I keep getting older, and these publishers stay the same age... Sorry Matthew McConaughey, that still sounds creepy. I turned *coughcough* this past week and while I don't feel any older, my brain is convinced that I am slowly falling to pieces physically. Sure I've had a lot of joint pain the past 18 months … Continue reading Counting the Days

First off, I wanted to thank everyone who picked up a copy of Wraithkin over the past few months and then left a review. I really appreciate the reviews, especially when they average 4.7 out of 5 stars. It's probably the highest rated book I've written, period. If you picked up a copy and haven't left a … Continue reading A Fistful of Time Slipping Through The Fingers

I go from 2 months without posting to 2 within a week. Exciting news! Not only is "Magnum Opus" coming out in Forged in Blood from Baen Books this coming September, but another short story, "Paint the Sky", will be featured in the A Fistful of Credits anthology from Seventh Seal Press, edited by Mark Wandrey and Chris Kennedy, and is coming out … Continue reading More News!

Time sure does fly. I've been working a lot and wrapping up the basketball season. First year with a new offense, only 1 returning starter and a bunch of young guys and we finished at 10-19. Not too bad, considering. In the month of February it finally clicked and our PPG went up by almost … Continue reading Keeping Busy

Man, basketball season has pretty much sucked away my entire life. With practice almost every day and at least 2 games a week, and my regular 100+ hour work week schedule thrown in on top, it's a wonder I even remember what my house looks like. We've gone through some major improvements as we get deeper … Continue reading A Basketball Update

Just a quick update while on "vacation". Wraithkin is doing exceptionally well still, staying around the ranking I had anticipated while the holiday season is still in full effect. I'm hoping that the first two weeks in January see an increase in sales since that's usually the time people start to buy their books again. Saw … Continue reading Update and Merry Christmas

Between being deathly ill, work, and basketball, I have been unable to accomplish much lately. First, the bad. I had pneumonia. It was bad enough to absolutely level me for over two weeks and I'm still not 100% better. However, I felt well enough to return to work (albeit in a limited capacity) so there … Continue reading That Random Update

It's cover reveal day here and I am pleased to show off the cover for Wraithkin, Book 1 of a brand new series. Look at the texture, the color, the gorgeousness... ... ...you want to see it now, don't you? Fine, I'll quit yammering about it.

I feel like I just updated the site and yet it's almost been a month since my last post. Wow... I'm having a HUGE cover reveal here on Friday, November 18th. There will be dozens of people here to celebrate the cover reveal of Wraithkin, which is an absolutely GORGEOUS cover. It's my first "solo" book … Continue reading Ain’t No Time For Turkey

So the past two weeks have been very exciting. First off, there's a cover reveal for the next Baen Books anthology that I'm a part of. Forged in Blood, which is edited by Michael Z. Williamson and set in his Freehold universe, features my short story Magnum Opus, which is the story of Rowan Moran, an Operative before The War. It's … Continue reading Getting Progressively Better

Life has a way of grabbing you by the... nose and not letting go sometimes. I've been deep in Darkling the past month, adding to it whenever I can and trying to get this book done by Christmas. I have a plan for Christmas and I'm trying to see if it will happen. It's a "plan" inasmuch … Continue reading A Very Special Individual Indeed
