So... yeah. That happened. I have to admit, when the year started I was full of hope. 2020 had sucked hard enough for three years, so I figured 2021 would be a lot better. In some regards, it was. I finished two books and almost completed three others. I actually attended two conventions last year, … Continue reading 2021 Year In Review

Unnecessary Hate
So I've seen a lot of hate directed towards two new television series which have come out the past week -- the live action remake of COWBOY BEBOP, and the adaptation of THE WHEEL OF TIME. Having seen both, I have opinions (not that anyone cares... well, one of my most visited posts ever on … Continue reading Unnecessary Hate
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
Cover Reveal
Awww yeah, it's that time once again to reveal the latest book cover. This is Darkling, the sequel to Wraithkin, and Book 2 of the Kin Wars Saga.
A Snippet from “Forged in Blood”

From … Continue reading A Snippet from “Forged in Blood”
LC26 AAR
Ah, Libertycon... where sleep goes to die. As usual, I had a blast at the convention and would like to thank Brandy and Derek Spraker, as well as the rest of the Libertycon staff, for putting on one hell of a con. The food was good (except I forgot to mention my onion allergy, which … Continue reading LC26 AAR
Dreamers in Hell Available
Dreamers in Hell is now available for Kindle over at Amazon. The print version should be up within 24 hours (if, like me, that's what you prefer). I'm pretty certain that if you order by the end of the week, you'll have it in your hands in time to get 13 of the authors to sign … Continue reading Dreamers in Hell Available
No Review, No Problem
I was set to review John Ringo's Tiger by the Tail today and... I couldn't. I literally had such a bad review mentally written that I couldn't bring myself to actually do it. I know the Paladin of Shadows is a really "silly" series (okay, Ghost is... the others following weren't that bad), but Tiger by the Tail takes the absurdity to an entirely different level. … Continue reading No Review, No Problem
The Next Big Thing
I've seen this going around other blogs but didn't really pay too much attention to it until I was tagged by Barb Caffrey (hey Barb). Barb recently inked a deal for her novel, Elfy, with one of the publishers I've written for (Twilight Times Books). We're also working on a steampunk/alt history story (I think that's … Continue reading The Next Big Thing
