(A short snippet today ~Jason) Coming January 2026 With Corporal Jeffe leading the way, the trio of enlisted exited the building and stood in front of the door in the warm, poisonous rain of Myrkyma. Sergeant Buckholz looked around at the gathered mob and snorted derisively. “Unless you are here to join the Legion, you … Continue reading TO TREAD OBSIDIAN SHORES — Snippet 5

TO TREAD OBSIDIAN SHORES — Snippet 4
“Yes, sir!” Sergeant Buckholz grinned from ear to ear. “Jeffe, Aires? You heard the captain. Suit up. I’ll get on the horn with Klysgaard.” “Come with me, Recruit Tavi.” The captain turned and walked towards the three flags on the poles behind Sergeant Buckholz’s desk. Unsure, Diego followed, and stopped a few feet away from … Continue reading TO TREAD OBSIDIAN SHORES — Snippet 4
TO TREAD OBSIDIAN SHORES — Snippet 3
Coming January 2026 from Baen Books “Good.” Sergeant Buckholz leaned forward, and his voice changed subtly. “This isn’t an easy life, Diego. We go where the Protectorate needs us to go. We’ve had peace for many years, which is why most people think they want to join. Free education, land, money, glory . . . whatever drives kids these … Continue reading TO TREAD OBSIDIAN SHORES — Snippet 3
TO TREAD OBSIDIAN SHORES — Snippet 2
Coming January 2026 The chair was comfortable, far more so than anything Diego was used to. For the first time his eyes darted around the room, taking it all in and understanding very little of it. It wasn’t decorated like any room he’d been in before. There were three flags hanging on poles behind the … Continue reading TO TREAD OBSIDIAN SHORES — Snippet 2
Dragoncon 2025
I survived! Yeah, that was a little melodramatic, but considering I was headed to an event where it is rather common for everyone to get some sort of plague, the fact that I was able to dodge the concrud despite being immunocompromised is very impressive indeed and, if I may say so myself, a crowning … Continue reading Dragoncon 2025
What Sticks?
(Originally posted on Twitter/X) (I’m taking a break from editing an anthology at the moment and am using voice-text speech. I’ll try to go back after this is done and edit, but I am also functionally blind right now as my eyes recover from the ER/hospital stay and the optic nerve swelling. But then again, … Continue reading What Sticks?
And Back To Good News!
Results from the lumbar puncture (part deux) are in and there is no lymphoma! We were a little concerned because they hit us with that possibility over the weekend while at the hospital, but my oncologist appointment this morning went well and there isn't any sign of it. The T-cells were from the immunotherapy drugs … Continue reading And Back To Good News!

Authors You Should Be Reading – Part 1: R.R. Virdi
Courtesy of the author's website "Who the fuck is R.R. Virdi?" you might be asking yourself, having stumbled upon this website at 2:00AM while doom-scrolling social media (it's cool, we've all been there). I'm glad you are here asking that very question.

Amazon’s Recent Royalty Pay & Price Change
Recently, Amazon dropped this on those of us who use KDP to handle our indie stuff: Now, this normally doesn't affect me too much (I sell more ebooks than print, like most authors who publish through KDP), but it did cause me raise the price of A Christmas Surprise from $8.99 to $9.99 per print … Continue reading Amazon’s Recent Royalty Pay & Price Change
Just A Boring Update
Been busy the past month moving stuff around at the office and two infusions in February, so I didn't have a lot of energy to spare for anything outside of a bit of writing. Melissa Olthoff and I finished our edits for Book 1 of our new series, and last night we detail outlined Book … Continue reading Just A Boring Update

2024 Year in Review
I've been pretty good about doing one of these every year the past few years. 2023 was a banner year, with one of my highest words written count ever at over 537,000 words written, and 7 published works. I thought I wasn't going to be able to replicate that in 2024. I didn't repeat them. … Continue reading 2024 Year in Review
The Great Christmas Shopping List (2024 Edition)
Brief health update: I'm alive (yay!) still, and heading into my next cancer infusion treatment on Wednesday. It's been exhausting. I also just got back from Dragonsteel Nexus late last night (technically early this morning because there was a nasty accident right in front of my ride and we were stuck in traffic for almost … Continue reading The Great Christmas Shopping List (2024 Edition)
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
