T-minus five days and counting until Honorcon. You might be wondering what panels I'll be doing, or what I plan on talking about, but you may be surprised to know that I'm actually working this convention for The Official Honor Harrington Fan Association. Being the Volunteer Coordinator is, well, a job that nobody wanted so … Continue reading No Time
This is October? Nobody told me about the pumpkin spice latte!
Right, right... we're in October now, and dozens of people are waiting for some sort of update. First off, I've been biting my tongue a lot on the internet (you would be so proud) as I watch individuals become more idiotic with each passing breath. I know it's hard to build a following, people, but … Continue reading This is October? Nobody told me about the pumpkin spice latte!
Too Stubborn
Air! I can breathe! In all seriousness, it feels like I've been drowning in my writing the past few months. Ever since Eric and I wrapped up Kaiju Apocalypse III, it seems like my head has been underwater when it comes to writing. I may have burned myself out a bit (writing 4 books in 4 … Continue reading Too Stubborn
The World Done Lost Its Mind
Everywhere I look, people are accomplishing much to lower my opinion of the world that we are leaving behind. Firstly, Wesleyan University has recently ordered that fraternities who reside on campus permit women to join. This is absurd, because then comes the roundabout lawsuit requiring sororities to allow men to join its ranks. While this … Continue reading The World Done Lost Its Mind
New Book Out
Had a book come out last week and forgot to mention it. My first Tobias Fox short story, "Nightwalker", is the very first story in John Manning's Terror By Gaslight anthology. I'll be the first to admit that Tobias Fox stories are less about horror and more about an extraordinary man dealing with said horrors. Good story with … Continue reading New Book Out
Meet the Character — Vincente Huerta
(I was tagged in this by Amanda S. Green. She introduced her favorite character, Ashlyn Shaw, star of Vengeance From Ashes, here.) As I walked into the bar, I began to wonder just what the hell I was getting myself into this time. Sure, I'm the author, and I create these people, but some of them … Continue reading Meet the Character — Vincente Huerta
Digital Watermarking the Grave
Yesterday, over on Facebook, I kinda sorta touched on the new HarperCollins digital watermark, which is another updated rendition of their failed attempts (thus far, apparently) at a secure and impenetrable DRM. Those pesky pirates are costing publishers a lot of money, so of course the natural response is to put even more money into … Continue reading Digital Watermarking the Grave
A Good Thing
It's very strange to forget that you have a website. But since this past week I've been elbow deep in Murder World: Kaiju Dusk as well as my untitled piece for editor John Manning, combined with my article over at the Mad Genius Club, I'll just shrug my shoulders and say "I'm busy!" It's a good thing, really. … Continue reading A Good Thing
Brief Friday Update
Four hours of sleep is not enough, apparently. It's not conducive to writing. I'm falling behind schedule. It's a good thing that the publisher isn't rushing this sequel or else I could be in some trouble. I have a guest post up at Mad Genius Club. It was based on some thoughts I had yesterday … Continue reading Brief Friday Update

Nope
Taking a short break from writing Murder World: Kaiju Dusk and seeing what is going on with the rest of the world... ...nope. Screw you, world. I'm not coming back out until you calm the f*** down.
Hugo 2014
2014 Hugos -- Congrats towards the winners! No, I'm not bitter that none of my nominees won. I think some of the anti-"OMG the Wheel of Time is a single entry WTFBBQ!!11!!" and the anti-VoxDay backlash hurt the voting for quite a few deserving entrants but again, since this was the most voted-on Hugo in … Continue reading Hugo 2014
Influences
I was looking over my map of Weslande (my fantasy world I'm building around the story of I, Godslayer) and I saw that I had made a massive cathedral made of crystal in the middle of a vast desert. I was sort of surprised (I don't remember doing it, but I make so many maps I … Continue reading Influences
Your Weekend Update, Hosted by Dr. Pepper, M.D.
For the record, I didn't enter the Baen Fantasy writing contest (congratulations to the winner and everyone else who participated, by the way) because my "fantasy short story" turned into a six book epic adventure fantasy series. While it would have been cool to enter and see how well I could have done, I'm fairly … Continue reading Your Weekend Update, Hosted by Dr. Pepper, M.D.
