Funny story: I had just updated the site when all of a sudden my computer made this pissed-off cat sound. Cat owners, you know which one I'm talking about. That low growl escalating into a high-pitched crescendo, followed by a deep hiss? Yeah, that one. Well, it made that noise and my computer screen died, … Continue reading With A Screeching Yowl
End of Year Time
Tonight I'm going to celebrate the end of 2013 with panache and class. Yep, I'm going to crack open a bottle of champagne, cook up some finger foods and pass out around 11:30PM. That's just how I roll. I'm so hardcore. I'm looking back over 2013 and I must say I'm rather pleased with what … Continue reading End of Year Time
It’s Too Real In Here
Jason, you haven't updated in, like, forever! said nobody. Christmas was good for me this year. Most of you already know I got a 4 pound container of jelly beans (oh, and some cash) and some books and clothes (which, quite frankly, is all I ever seem to want. Cash, book, and clothes), as well as … Continue reading It’s Too Real In Here
Reading Materialist
Wraithkin is with the agent now. I have two weeks to complete my Dark Corners anthology story (Collectibles). I should have written it months ago, but life kept getting in the way. Okay, life and other novels. And other short stories. Okay, okay, I just suck as a human being. I'll get it done before the deadline, even … Continue reading Reading Materialist
Scientia Potentia Est
We're all gonna die! Well, eventually. But if you read the news, you'd think it's going to happen every single day. I'm not sure why the human psyche craves sensationalism. Even in the days of ancient Greece, sensationalist news and information was far more digested by the populous than actual cold, hard facts. It's something … Continue reading Scientia Potentia Est
Troll Baiting
So apparently trolls are all the rage these days. I had no idea. I love reading the blogs of authors I like to... uh, read? That sounded a lot better in my head. Anyway, so I was reading Larry Correia's blog around 5 this morning and saw that there was a troll in the dungeon. I read … Continue reading Troll Baiting
SimSuck
I'll admit, I went into this with a little bit of trepidation. I'd heard bad things about it, and a lot of friends of mine were equally disgusted by the blatant craptacularness of it and warned me away. But I'd been told that the bugs were fixed, everything was fine now, and they would be … Continue reading SimSuck
Something New
I went out of town this weekend for Thanksgiving, so I haven't done much writing. I have done a ton of plotting and outlining, however, and I'm starting to think that I'll be writing the Tobias Fox novels I owe when I get home. I was hoping to get into this anthology that features a villain's point of view, … Continue reading Something New
The Cold Has Arrived
So Wraithkin is being edited right now, and some more mistakes have been pointed out (though acknowledgement that I avoided a deus ex machina ending pleased me. I was afraid it would be a bit contrived) and will be fixed this week. I decided, after discovering a short story/novella I found that I had started long ago … Continue reading The Cold Has Arrived
Farm Fresh
Oh no, I've been neglecting the site again. I've been quite busy the past week, since hunting season has officially kicked off and winter is starting early this year (no snow, but it's getting cooooold). The cows have gone home, though, so no more worrying about calves being born. Still haven't killed the coyote that … Continue reading Farm Fresh
Briefs
I realized today that I need a FAQ on here. I keep getting asked the same questions over and over again and it would save some time to have them all answered and in one place. Wow. This entry looks more like a tweet than an update. You might have noticed that I no longer … Continue reading Briefs
Never Be Dull
At 11:30 this morning, I finished my last edit of Wraithkin and sent it off to the first readers. Cue party. I'll take a break for a day, write a review for The Doctor and the Dinosaur, which is Mike Resnick's latest "Weird West" book. Then I need to crank out a I, Godslayer and the my debut Tobias … Continue reading Never Be Dull
Election Thoughts
I meant to talk about this last week, but I was wrapping up a book and couldn't find the time. Needless to say, after a week of watching everyone blame everyone else, I think this is the perfect time for the dissimulation of the Virginia elections. First off, let me be clear: this is not … Continue reading Election Thoughts
Short Stay
I'm putting the finishing touches on Wraithkin this week and preparing to send it off to the Beta readers this weekend (probably Saturday night), which is part of the reason I haven't really commented on the Virginia elections yet. I'll have something a little more concrete this Friday, but all I can say now (without going into … Continue reading Short Stay
Wrapping Up
I'm wrapping up a book this week, kiddos, so I won't be around much. Hey Virginians -- don't forget to vote today.
