Courtesy of the author's website "Who the fuck is R.R. Virdi?" you might be asking yourself, having stumbled upon this website at 2:00AM while doom-scrolling social media (it's cool, we've all been there). I'm glad you are here asking that very question. Because if you're not asking, well, it's probably that you've already read his … Continue reading Authors You Should Be Reading – Part 1: R.R. Virdi
Amazon’s Recent Royalty Pay & Price Change
Recently, Amazon dropped this on those of us who use KDP to handle our indie stuff: Now, this normally doesn't affect me too much (I sell more ebooks than print, like most authors who publish through KDP), but it did cause me raise the price of A Christmas Surprise from $8.99 to $9.99 per print … Continue reading Amazon’s Recent Royalty Pay & Price Change
Expectations
Not that I have a lot of them for myself, mind you... well, okay. I do, yet I don't. Yes, that makes zero sense at all. Let me explain. One of the weird things about growing up in state-run group homes for roughly 80% of your childhood is the lack of expectations they have for … Continue reading Expectations
Appearances and Other Updates
I added a few new conventions to the coming 2025 Summer of Jason's Relative Insanity schedule. August and September are looking pretty busy at the moment. Throw in infusions, plus writing, plus the regular jobs... yeah, insane is a good word to use. Wrapping up Book 1 of the Quintus Fox series, Bounty Hunter, and … Continue reading Appearances and Other Updates
Imadjinn Award Finalist (and Convention Schedule Update)
Last year, Larry Correia and I won Best Urban Fantasy Novel at the Imadjinn Awards for our novel Monster Hunter Memoirs: Fever. If I remember correctly, I also was a finalist for Best Anthology for Chicks in Tank Tops, but lost out on that one. This year, I'm happy to say that I'm a finalist … Continue reading Imadjinn Award Finalist (and Convention Schedule Update)
Just A Boring Update
Been busy the past month moving stuff around at the office and two infusions in February, so I didn't have a lot of energy to spare for anything outside of a bit of writing. Melissa Olthoff and I finished our edits for Book 1 of our new series, and last night we detail outlined Book … Continue reading Just A Boring Update
Books I’m Looking Forward To In 2025

SHADOWS UPON TIME by Christopher Ruocchio (DAW Books, Book 7 of the Suneater series) … Continue reading Books I’m Looking Forward To In 2025
Confusion and Anger
"Jason's been.... snippy lately. Ready to bite people's head off. Even angry." Well, yes. On January 11, sometime between 9:00AM and 11:00AM, the only man who'd ever tried to be a dad to me passed away in his sleep. He was 87 years old and has been battling health issues the past few years. In … Continue reading Confusion and Anger
Two Cover Reveals!
Yep, I've got not one but two cover reveals this week! Best of all, they're in the same series! Some longtime readers might recognize the name Quintus Fox. I've written... 7 stories now in his vast universe but, until recently, never really got around to writing him a novel. That all changed over the weekend … Continue reading Two Cover Reveals!
2024 Year in Review
I've been pretty good about doing one of these every year the past few years. 2023 was a banner year, with one of my highest words written count ever at over 537,000 words written, and 7 published works. I thought I wasn't going to be able to replicate that in 2024. I didn't repeat them. … Continue reading 2024 Year in Review
The Great Christmas Shopping List (2024 Edition)
Brief health update: I'm alive (yay!) still, and heading into my next cancer infusion treatment on Wednesday. It's been exhausting. I also just got back from Dragonsteel Nexus late last night (technically early this morning because there was a nasty accident right in front of my ride and we were stuck in traffic for almost … Continue reading The Great Christmas Shopping List (2024 Edition)
THREE DAYS UNTIL THE END BEGINS
Only three days left until Salvage Harbinger, Book 2 of The Invasion, drops. Nick and I are super stoked about this one. Captain Morrison and the Cabrillo must stop the invaders in their tracks, or the entire galaxy will be at risk. With only a single vessel to fight against an armada, what chance do … Continue reading THREE DAYS UNTIL THE END BEGINS

The State of the Solo Debut Mainstream Novel
The heading isn't misleading. I just wanted to talk about my first solo foray (we're not counting collaborations here, or anthologies) into mainstream publishing after **coughcough** years in indie and small press. More importantly, why I'm not regretting it, but why I also am still not going fully trad in the coming years. First of … Continue reading The State of the Solo Debut Mainstream Novel
LFG!! Salvage Purgatory Release Weekend
Quick cancer update: still recovering from surgery. Had some massive bleed-through the day after surgery and had to go back to the surgeon (I warned them I was a bleeder) to get the wound site redressed. Since then, been a pretty smooth-ish recovery journey so far. Sitting sucks, laying down is uncomfortable, and standing isn't … Continue reading LFG!! Salvage Purgatory Release Weekend
