Well, this past week has been, in the Chinese sense of the word, interesting. At work on Friday I slipped and messed my knee up. Initial x-rays show nothing broken, but the doctor was concerned about a possible PCL sprain or worse. So sometime this week I have an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon. Hopefully it's … Continue reading 有意思 (Interesting)
Hugo Packets Are Here
You know the difference between living and surviving is? I didn't until this month began. Wow. Just... wow. I've been working so much lately that I haven't had a chance to really focus all of my energy and attention on Kraken Mare. Okay, let's be honest here: I haven't had a chance to focus any energy on … Continue reading Hugo Packets Are Here
Hanging In There
It's been two weeks since my last post. Much has happened in the world, but much has stayed the same. I've sold a short story (can't announce where yet, unfortunately) which is always exciting news. Still have a novel out (sitting on the editor's desk, last I heard) and another short that I'm waiting to … Continue reading Hanging In There
Just Your Average Everyday Friday
My post over at the Mad Genius Club is now live. I went to an interesting place during my thought process and delved into sociological change throughout history. I probably could have written about 4,000 more words on the topic but I have a book due. I finished Best Laid Plans last night and managed to get … Continue reading Just Your Average Everyday Friday
Made It
I managed to get my Zombie Apocalypse story in under the deadline with 90 minutes to spare. Deadlines make me focus like a mofo. Dead now, however. 4,000 words written in 2 hours tends to fry me. I'll update more tomorrow. Now, I'm for bed.
Another Story Off
Eric S. Brown and I wrapped up our latest work, The Chosen of the Red God, yesterday and it's now in the editor's hands. It's a little short story we were working on for a few weeks (I struggled with the voice and narrative of it initially, which is what took so long) and now we're … Continue reading Another Story Off
Book Release Day!
My short story, A Promise Made, is featured in the latest Sha'Daa anthology, this one titled Sha'Daa Facets. I'm super excited about this one (I wrote this a few years back) and can't wait to get my copy of it. The print copy is out now, and the ebook should be out soon. In other news, I finally have … Continue reading Book Release Day!
#FreeSpeech
I've been having a <<censored>> day so far, trying to <<censored>> <<censored>> before I <<censored>>. It's a <<censored>> way to live, but hey, gotta <<censored>>, am I right? A lot of <<censored>> have been contacting me this week regarding <<censored>>. One of the things I like to <<censored>> is that <<censored>> is open to the … Continue reading #FreeSpeech
Gray
First they attacked with accusations of racism, but lo! who are the real racists? Then they attacked with accusations of sexism, but lo! who are the real sexists? Next they attacked with accusations of association, but lo! with whom does evil truly associate? I got a little pissed off this week. You see, I'm supposed … Continue reading Gray
The Rain and the Curbstomp
You know, back in 2011 I said that it would be pretty cool to win the Hugo Award. Ah, to be that naive and young again. Hell, back in 2013 I still thought it would be fun. "Fun" being relative, but you know. Now? Now I'm just happy that I'm a Campbell finalist (which is … Continue reading The Rain and the Curbstomp
Lazy Day
Today is definitely a lazy day. Birds are singing outside, Casper is lounging in the window and hogging the sun (and Wally is getting mad at him for doing so). I'm going to do some reading and, if I get properly motivated, I might mow the lawn later. I enjoy Sundays. It's pretty much the only … Continue reading Lazy Day
A Review and an Update
I reviewed David Walton's Superposition today over at Shiny Book Review. It was a fun little read and really delves into quantum entanglement and resonance (which, for me, is pretty awesome stuff... I should have gone in to physics but I hated math when I was younger. Or my first love, biology). There is a sequel coming … Continue reading A Review and an Update
The Hit Piece That Released the Kraken
You know, I thought I'd done a pretty good job at keeping my mouth shut the past few days since the Hugo Awards kerfuffle began. Not because I'm worried about the vote or future book deals or anything, but because I was basking in the sheer AWESOMENESS of being a finalist. For me, I'd been … Continue reading The Hit Piece That Released the Kraken
Campbell Award and the Hugos
So it is now official: I'm a John W. Campbell Award finalist (Best New Author). I've known for about 2 weeks or so now and it's been very, very hard to stay quiet about it. I was thrilled and shocked to get the email. I figured I have a very small chance at making the … Continue reading Campbell Award and the Hugos
It’s Complicated
I blogged today over at the Mad Genius Club and talked about Books versus Movies. Why that and not the Hugos? Well, two reasons. One: everyone is talking about the Hugos. Two: I wanted to talk about Books versus Movies. See? That is how it's done. No fuss, just going out and doing something. Anyway, … Continue reading It’s Complicated
