I tore a hole in my finger last night and it sucks. However, I am not letting that deter me from writing today. I'm pulling one of my rare "Sleep is for the dead" days and trying to achieve a goal of 3,000 newly written words (no, blogging doesn't count). So far I'm at... uh... … Continue reading Now Write!
Interviewed
Just wrapped up an interview for Book in the Bag, a review site that is going live soon-ish. The interview is scheduled for October 1st and I had a lot of fun with the questions they asked. Okay, perhaps too much fun. Love it or hate it, it's done. Wrote a book review last night … Continue reading Interviewed
Wrath of the Book Gods
At the risk of incurring the wrath of the book review gods (because my reviewing schedule is as steady as the men in Kim Kardashian's life), I plan on reviewing Sygillis of Metatron (The League of Elders, Book 1) by Ben Garcia tomorrow over at Shiny Book Review. It's a strange name, yeah, but it's a … Continue reading Wrath of the Book Gods
That Blurry Line Between Fact and WTF?
Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction. If I submitted a novel to a publisher with some of the stuff that has happened this week in the world (embassy killings, countries apologizing for making protesters angry enough to kill ambassadors, the riots catching people by surprise, political leaders who seem to be clueless) I'd be shot done … Continue reading That Blurry Line Between Fact and WTF?
…aaaaaaaand back
Well, it took a week longer than expected but I finally have the internet up and going at my new place. Apparently, nothing has gone on in my absence. Nice to know that the world stops for me. Just kidding. Have a lot of emails to catch up on (over 200... wow) though most of … Continue reading …aaaaaaaand back
Good News For A Friend
Yay! My good friend Barb Caffrey has recently inked a deal with one of my publishers. Barb, as some of you know, is one of my reviewers over at Shiny Book Review. This is exciting news because she was almost convinced that she would never find a home for the novel. Now it's residing at Twilight … Continue reading Good News For A Friend
Elitism
Let me tell you a story of a group of friends who went to a pretty good high school in Southern California back in the early-mid 90's. These kids (let's call them "Those Guys") were a strange bunch. Band geeks, D&D nerds, one jock (not sure how he slipped into the group), and all future … Continue reading Elitism
Whooshing
Finally got around to reviewing The Kingmakers. Too bad for you that it's not being posted for another two weeks. Why? Well, because the book doesn't come out until Sept 4. The first Failsafe novel (right now, tentatively titled Beneath A Banner Burned) is moving very, very nicely along. I don't know what it is about brunette air … Continue reading Whooshing
Craptacular
I'm under the weather (seriously, I'm sick and a storm front is moving in) so this'll be short.I'm alive, am reasonably well and things are a-movin' in the fiction-verse. I'll be published in 3 books this fall, which is up from the two I originally thought I was going to be limited to. More info … Continue reading Craptacular
Saving Yourself From Yourself
I have to admit, I'm not a fan of Apple. Oh, I have an iPhone, don't get me wrong. I like it. It works for me and it does what I want it to do. That being said, I don't worship at the altar of Jobs. I don't drink the Kool-Aid. I don't hand Apple … Continue reading Saving Yourself From Yourself
Wibbly-Wobbly
Oh wow, a day off from work. I think I remember what these feel like. I'm supposed to, uh... rest? I dunno. As I mentioned the other day, I'm waiting on two more submissions I have out right now. One of them have great chances of being picked up by the editor; the other was an … Continue reading Wibbly-Wobbly
Another Story
Just got word that I've been accepted (officially) into the next Dreams of Steam anthology from Kerlak. My short, "The Finder's Keeper", can be previewed here. I'll have a link and cover art as soon as I have it. Waiting on news for two more stories. Meanwhile, am working nonstop and am in the midst of a damn-near … Continue reading Another Story
Amerika ist Wunderbar
I've watched the simmering pot boil over this weekend and not said anything, partly because all of the facts aren't in (and probably will never be in) and partly because a lot of people have such a difficult time comprehending how someone can go into a public place and do such a thing. This isn't … Continue reading Amerika ist Wunderbar
Interviewed-ish
Hey, someone felt sorry for me and went ahead and let my muse speak. Scary, right? Well, here's the link. Also, writing. I'll be around for a real update soon.
Brainfart Week
Total. Mental. Brainfart. FandomFest went well enough I suppose, though half of my time there was spent trying to find my panel rooms. The hotel was a rat maze that begged to be used in a horror flick ala Saw. Jigsaw would have a field day with the crazy assed layout of the Galt House … Continue reading Brainfart Week
