FantaSci 2022 AAR — The Clumsy Idiot Edition
FantaSci, once again, was a blast to attend. First off, let's congratulate Joel Lyons and his staff for a smooth-running weekend. Any problems which arose with programming was handled swiftly and promptly, and the dining out experience was something I'll definitely never forget (if you were there, you know what I'm talking about...). I know … Continue reading FantaSci 2022 AAR — The Clumsy Idiot Edition
Unshackled and Then It Got Weird
My coauthor and friend Jamie Ibson has had one busy 30 days. Today his latest project, written with the amazing Casey Moores, was released into the wild. "UNSHACKLED" continues the tale of Ruxandra Roxtador, the mostly-retired secret agent and ally of Hr'ent from "GUNBOAT DIPLOMACY" as she prepares to fight the oncoming storm of the … Continue reading Unshackled and Then It Got Weird
Wyvacon Weekend
This weekend's Wyvacon schedule looks pretty exciting. I know I'm looking forward to a good time. Bonus -- Wyvacon has said that anyone under the age of 16 gets in for free with one adult paid admission. So if you pay for your ticket, your three kids get in for free. It's that family-friendly. It's … Continue reading Wyvacon Weekend
#LionWatch Contest
Coming July 10, 2020 from Seventh Seal Press I meant to post this a few days ago but I decided to hold off until today because we're just over 30 days away from the release of "DAUGHTER OF THE PRIDE" (July 10), the followup novel to the 2019 Dragon Award Finalist "SONS OF THE LION". … Continue reading #LionWatch Contest
The Main Idea
I've been officially in wrtier's mode the past few months. I can tell because I looked back over what I've turned in recent weeks. First there was DAUGHTER OF THE PRIDE, sequel to SONS OF THE LION. Set in the expansive Four Horsemen Universe, I was happy to be able to continue Sunshine's story and … Continue reading The Main Idea
Daughter of the Pride
DAUGHTER OF THE PRIDE is finished! Yay! It's just under 100,000 words long and took me 3 months to write (counting my 3 week lost period when I had shingles, so really I wrote this one in 9 weeks). It's a direct sequel to SONS OF THE LION, though takes place roughly 3-6 months later. … Continue reading Daughter of the Pride
Always Asking Questions
The shingles are mostly gone now minus some scarring (it looks like I was shot in the ribs with a shotgun), so of course my body decides it's time to get sick. This would be amusing if not for the amount of writing time I missed in January. I'm just wondering... how many of you … Continue reading Always Asking Questions
One Sick Author
I've been quiet lately due to being stricken with a bad case of shingles, which is pretty much the same disease as chicken pox but only those who have had it get it (from my understanding of this). It's really painful and has made sitting down difficult (or laying in bed, or walking... pretty much … Continue reading One Sick Author
Baby It’s Cold Outside
It's winter finally! We got snow yesterday in the Blue Ridge Mountains and it actually stuck around for today! Yay! For those of you who didn't know, I love the snow. It was probably the only thing I liked about living in Colorado. Well, that and I had some really good friends there. Yes, I … Continue reading Baby It’s Cold Outside
Another Book Release Day
These things are coming at us almost every week now it seems. Best part? This isn't the last book release for me this month. But I'm not worried about what's coming out Jan 21, no. I'm celebrating the release of GUNBOAT DIPLOMACY, co-authored with the amazing Jamie Ibson. It's Book 2 of the Four Horsemen … Continue reading Another Book Release Day
Webster Award Finalist
Just found out this morning that my novel, SONS OF THE LION, is a finalist for the Webster Award handed out at Ravencon in Virginia next year. The Webster Award is awarded to Virginia's best author. I'm competing against my friend R. S. Belcher this year. Last year my other friend and publisher, Chris Kennedy, … Continue reading Webster Award Finalist
Release Date Confirmed
I was informed the release date for my next novel published by Seventh Seal Press (an imprint of Chris Kennedy Publishing) will be released Jan 3, 2020. That's right, Jamie and I have the first book coming out in 2020. We're extremely excited about the potential of GUNBOAT DIPLOMACY and what it means to the … Continue reading Release Date Confirmed
Back to the Grind
Those first two weeks post-Libertycon are always rough. I already miss my friends and family, and coming back to work simply bites. On the other hands, bills and stuff still exist, so it's back to the grind. However, I did come out of that weekend with a new book contract, signed and delivered last week. … Continue reading Back to the Grind
