Hey all, it's an anthology release day! Troy Rising, edited by John Ringo & Gray Rinehart, is available everywhere books are sold. Melissa Olthoff and I teamed up (again) to write a short story about cattle rustlin' in space (sort of). Here's the opening...make sure you pick up the anthology to get the rest of … Continue reading Release Day – September Edition

What’s Coming Soon?
Life has been interesting since the move to South Carolina. I'm settling in fairly well, and only have a few more boxes to unpack. The writing slowed for a bit this month as I tried to unpack, get things done, travel, etc., but now I'm back on track (I think) to where I want to … Continue reading What’s Coming Soon?
Another eARC? Another eARC!
This week has been...busy. Late last night the electronic Advance Reader Copy of the second Bronze Legion book by Melissa Olthoff and I, VESSELS GRIM AND DARING, went live over at the Baen Books website. You can get your early copy here. It comes out everywhere on December 1, 2026. Don't worry, we still get … Continue reading Another eARC? Another eARC!
Where Have I Been? A Mystery, Solved.
Where have I been lately? Well, packing. And writing. And editing, can't forget that. DID I MENTION LOTS OF PACKING? For the past three months I've been prepping for a move. Not just any move, either. It's a move that both my employer and I have been thinking about for over two years now, ever … Continue reading Where Have I Been? A Mystery, Solved.
We’re Finished!
I did mention that Melissa and I finished the second book of the Bronze Legion, right? Well, if not, we finished it on Sunday and turned it in only a month late. In our defense, she had to edit two other books and then decided to get bit by a spider, aaaaaaand then she had … Continue reading We’re Finished!
Cover Reveal – Part Deux
Ask and ye shall receive! VESSELS GRIM AND DARING, book 2 in the Bronze Legion trilogy by myself and Melissa Olthoff, is going to be one amazingly chaotic book. Why? Because the Bronze Legion is being sent back to Aurora, and nobody knows why. Coming December 2026 from Baen Books. Preorders should be up soon … Continue reading Cover Reveal – Part Deux
Why It’s Okay To Say “No”
(and why procrastination sometimes is my middle name...) Meant to have this up two weeks ago but, ah, life happens. Congratulations! Your novel is a relative success! People know your name, your work, and it seems that everyone is a fan and you've received that random 1-star review from somewhere. You've officially made it. This … Continue reading Why It’s Okay To Say “No”
Release Week x2
I've been so busy at work that I completely forgot to mention that I had stories in two different anthologies come out this week, as well as had two more accepted into upcoming anthologies. The first, of course, is the Monster Hunter Files Vol. 2 anthology, edited by myself and Larry Correia. This one has … Continue reading Release Week x2
Why Word of Mouth Is So Important
I just celebrated 15 years of writing back in December 2025 (my first novel, Corruptor, was released in 2010), and I've worked in publishing now for almost 23 years. I've learned quite a bit about this industry, and things pertaining to it that I wish I hadn't. I've learned how every step of the process … Continue reading Why Word of Mouth Is So Important
New Cover(s) Revealed!
I love showing off cover art for upcoming books! Book 3 of the Quintus Fox series, Stars Over El Dorado, will be out later this year (shooting for July/August 2026). Since I had a delay on the last QF book, Amazon doesn't let me do preorders anymore. That's all good, though. I can work around … Continue reading New Cover(s) Revealed!
Icepocalypse 2026
Here in North Carolina, we don't get snow like I used to back in Colorado. No, they get this stuff they claim is snow but anybody who has seen real snow before knows that it's really ice. The ice storm that hit us here didn't knock out the power (thankfully), but it has made leaving … Continue reading Icepocalypse 2026
To Tread Obsidian Shores — Week 1 Release and Other Updates
So how has the book been doing? Not too shabby, actually. It just missed the new release national bestseller list (print format, because they don't count ebooks) and has gotten nothing but stellar reviews so far. Jonathan Koan reviewed it this morning over on his Youtube channel, Publisher's Weekly did a nice review of it... … Continue reading To Tread Obsidian Shores — Week 1 Release and Other Updates

TO TREAD OBSIDIAN SHORES — Snippet 29 (FINAL SNIPPET)
Available Tuesday, Jan 6 everywhere Baen Books are sold! It's the final snippet for the book! Let's get ready for liberty call! It wasn’t much of one, a simple tripwire with a mine resting at the base of a tree and a smoke grenade beneath it, but it would have been enough to completely wipe … Continue reading TO TREAD OBSIDIAN SHORES — Snippet 29 (FINAL SNIPPET)
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to everyone out there! This year, the official final word count tally was 1,403,259 words written. That is, by a large margin, the most words I've ever written in a calendar year. So what made this year so different, especially with all the health challenges I'd faced? Part of it was changing … Continue reading Happy New Year!
