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
Life Update
So... I've been reluctant to post about this because of how much is going on right now, plus it being in the middle of one of the busiest convention seasons we've had post-lockdowns, but the news broke this afternoon when the Baen Free Radio Hour went up, so... On Aug 23 I went in to … Continue reading Life Update

It’s LIVE! And I’ll be LIVE as well
Mountain of Fire is out and in the wild! I just got back from Dragoncon late last night (yes, I was gone for a full week... that's Dragoncon in a nutshell) and I'm wiped out, but I should have an AAR up and running sometime this evening. But at Dragoncon we did the release of … Continue reading It’s LIVE! And I’ll be LIVE as well
19 Days
Yeah, it freaks me out a little, too. Only nineteen more days until my first solo novel from Baen Books is released! Mountain of Fire is one of those really cool ideas that pop into your head when the publisher asks if you could turn a short story into a novel. Using a few towns … Continue reading 19 Days
2024 Imadjinn Award
So the word came in that Larry Correia and I won an Imadjinn Award for our novel Monster Hunter Memoirs: Fever in the category of Best Urban Fantasy novel last night at the Imaginarium Convention. I've attached part of their press release below. The Imaginarium 2024 Awards Banquet was held last evening, where the winners … Continue reading 2024 Imadjinn Award
Another Cover Reveal
This is Side Hustle: Volume 2, a collection of previously published short stories (with one or two never before seen stories). Look for it this coming November exclusively on Amazon. Yes, that's Quintus Fox on the cover. I have five Quintus stories in the collection. Why? Because Quintus Fox is one of my favorite characters … Continue reading Another Cover Reveal
Early Access Copy is OUT!
Mountain of Fire is currently available as an eARC (electronic Advance Reader Copy) now from Baen Books. Baen typically releases these a few months out for readers who simply cannot wait to get their hands on the book. While this isn't the final corrected proof, it's close enough that it is the same version sent … Continue reading Early Access Copy is OUT!
What Does the Author Read?
If you asked my teachers during my "formative" years, I wasn't much of a reader. Oh, I read books that I had to, mostly because English classes required it. To this day I still have a profound hatred for Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea, thanks to an overzealous high school English teacher. … Continue reading What Does the Author Read?
Earning Out vs Sell Through
I thought about having some witty, clever title to this until I realized that this was going to be a business post. So I decided to go with a serious title. Well, as serious as I can be, at least. I've been talking with a few people lately about the advantages (and disadvantages) of being … Continue reading Earning Out vs Sell Through
…and Jason Forgot the Title (Again)
I meant to post this a week ago, but... oops? The copyeditor found some things in Mountain of Fire I'd missed (hilariously, I'd screwed up a part of the timeline in the Black Tide Rising universe after proclaiming "This is the cleanest story timeline I've done!") but those were easy fixes and the final page … Continue reading …and Jason Forgot the Title (Again)
