Baen typically releases these a few months out for readers who simply cannot wait to get their hands on the book.

What Does the Author Read?
If you asked my teachers during my "formative" years, I wasn't much of a reader. Oh, I read books that I had to, mostly because English classes required it. To this day I still have a profound hatred for Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea, thanks to an overzealous high school English teacher. … Continue reading What Does the Author Read?

Wild Side
The past week has been a little wild. Nick and I cracked the halfway point in the second book of our duology. The last time we did this, the second half of the book was written in about 10 days. His work schedule is hectic right now, though, so maybe two more weeks. We're definitely … Continue reading Wild Side
5 (More) Authors You Should Be Reading
Yesterday's post was actually quite the hit, though you can imagine just how many people responded to me privately with "why wasn't so-and-so on the list?" Plus, nobody got mad at me about the clickbait headline. Go me! (editor's note: if you're going to steal this list, please acknowledge where it came from. I appreciate … Continue reading 5 (More) Authors You Should Be Reading
Meet the Character — Vincente Huerta
(I was tagged in this by Amanda S. Green. She introduced her favorite character, Ashlyn Shaw, star of Vengeance From Ashes, here.) As I walked into the bar, I began to wonder just what the hell I was getting myself into this time. Sure, I'm the author, and I create these people, but some of them … Continue reading Meet the Character — Vincente Huerta
Please
My brain couldn't get into the mood for writing Kaiju Apocalypse III today, since this flu thingy has been kicking my butt this week. Instead of calling it a lost day, though, I decided to work on this fantasy idea my Muse has been beating me over the head with the past two weeks. I mean, I'd … Continue reading Please
All About
First off, I wanted to thank everyone who bought a copy of Kaiju Apocalypse this weekend. Cracking the Top 100 in multiple genres was... well, it blew my mind. The sales are still going (#18,000 or so last I checked... if you bought it, by the way, have you reviewed it yet? That helps even more!), and … Continue reading All About
Remove Blockage Here
I'm doing some random posting today, so if you don't want to read a very meandering post, kindly step away from the computer. It'll be for the best. I'm stuck. I'm really effing stuck. Not a writer's block, no. It's more of a "this character did this and now she's got me stuck" kind of … Continue reading Remove Blockage Here
New Book Cover Announcement
New anthology coming this fall that my story is featured in. This is your warning. Prepare for the Sha'Daa, for it is coming... Edit: the first one was not the right one. Oops.
Book Pretty!
Work (the non-writing variety) has been utterly brutal these past three weeks. I'm looking forward to a few days off, and then in a few more weeks off to Mysticon! Woohoo! Note to self: no absinthe. Not ever again. EVER. You know it's bad when I'm begging for some vodka to chase the original drink … Continue reading Book Pretty!
