Some people get addicted to drugs, others to nicotine. Mine is caffeine and it shows at the worst possible times. Like now, for instance. Twenty-four hours after I stopped drinking soda, my body is screaming at me. It is screaming loud. I haven't gotten much production done today because of withdrawals. I don't care what … Continue reading Braaains! Wait, no…. caffeeeeeeeeeine!
Schedule Update
One final post for the day, I swear. Here is my schedule for Mysticon (Feb 25-27) in Roanoke, VA. The people running this con have been helpful and responsive, which usually is a great sign for a fun con. You should attend. No, you MUST attend. Friday 5-6pm Opening Ceremonies Friday 10-11pm From SF to … Continue reading Schedule Update
eARC Update
...also, for those of you looking for the ebook of Corruptor, it's now available in Nook format over at B&N for cheaper than Amazon. It also is no longer appearing on Twilight Times' eArc page, since (obviously) it is no longer an advance reader copy. Keep that in mind while you are paying my phone … Continue reading eARC Update
The Evil(?) Empire?
In a burgeoning world of digital publishing and online news feeds, it makes perfect sense for AOL to go out and pay an extraordinary amount of money for... the Huffington Post. Really? AOL couldn't find something to spend their money on like, oh I don't know, upgrading something or getting into a venue that actually … Continue reading The Evil(?) Empire?
Another “Lawyers in Hell” Update
You should really go and join the "Heroes in Hell" page on Facebook. They're currently posting snippets from some of the upcoming stories from "Lawyers in Hell", coming out (I think) later this year. CJ Cherryh, Janet Morris, David Burkhead, Michael Z Williamson and Kimberly Richardson are just a few of the names of the … Continue reading Another “Lawyers in Hell” Update
Brian Jacques
I was saddened to learn that Brian Jacques, author of the Redwall series, passed away due to a heart attack over the weekend. He was young, only 71, which always brings to mind my own dad, who is hanging around at 73 and not the healthiest of people. We keep losing authors I've read over … Continue reading Brian Jacques
Hell’s Bells
I guess I can make the announcement now. I've barely been able to keep quiet about the news. I was invited by Janet and Chris Morris to participate in their Heroes in Hell series in the latest anthology, Lawyers in Hell. I'm super excited about this and can't wait for you guys to see what … Continue reading Hell’s Bells
Cone of Shame
Look at me. Now look back at yourself, now back to me. I'm disappointed in you. You, that individual sitting at your computer screen, reading this on your Blackberry. It oozes out of every pore, the disappointment. It reeks of many things, hardly any which are pleasant. Yes, go hang your head in embarrassment. Wear that … Continue reading Cone of Shame
Researching
I hate Wikipedia for most research but for fiction writing, it can be helpful. Back in Denver (where the majority of my stuff is still at) I have a library of research books. Books about the Crusades, various wars in history, and famous leaders throughout the Middle Ages were always ready for me. But now … Continue reading Researching
Agency Fees… Or Lack Thereof
This article is an excellent example of why a reputable literary agency does NOT charge any fees outside of their commission (which is how they get paid, you know, after they've sold your book for you). Got take a look. Remember kiddies, money always flows to the author.
News Coming Soon
I don't know when I can get into details, but very exciting news will be forthcoming in the new few weeks. I'm very excited about this, and I should have confirmation and everything else soon (as in, permission to go into details). Woot!

If you're still so desperate to get the book for free, then you can continue fishing on sites until you find it. … Continue reading Attention Pirates! Arggh!
Cowboy Brain F***
Reviewed Paul McAuley's Cowboy Angels over at SBR this morning. Dear God, that book'll mess with your mind! I'll post more this evening. Right now, I'm trying to de-blenderize my brain.
ZzzzzZZzzz…
Overslept somehow this morning and got off to a horrible start. Then I realized I was out of the caffeinated beverage and had to rush to the store before my brain shut back off. *sigh* I didn't get a lot of writing done yesterday, thanks to it being a partial snow day. Sort of screwed up … Continue reading ZzzzzZZzzz…
The Asiago Tis a Lie
Behold, said the purveyor of the House of Dave, which is named Wendy's and where speed is of the essence. I harken unto thee a new, sparkling sandwich of a plucked chicken cooked with the rich, tasty Asiago cheese styled in the Italian cuisine secrets. Topped with the crispest of letti, the devil's apple and … Continue reading The Asiago Tis a Lie
