Happy New Year! I waited until today to write this up because I didn't want to jinx it. Physically, 2020 sucked for me. Professionally, it was one of my best years to date. So... let's call it a draw, 2020, shall we? AND NEVER SPEAK OF IT AGAIN! On the physical front, 2020 was painful... Continue Reading →
Audiophiles Rejoice!
DEATHLORDS is now available on audible! Narrated by Rob Saladino once again (WRAITHKIN, DARKLING), listen to ten hours of pulse-pounding, high-intensity military science fiction with just a splash of espionage tossed in, then topped with the fight to save a family's honor and integrity in the midst of a brewing civil war. DEATHLORDS is available... Continue Reading →
#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 →
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 →
Cover Reveal
Other than "Release Day", cover reveal days are some of my favorites days. "Release Day" for my upcoming Four Horsemen Universe novel (and sequel to SONS OF THE LION), DAUGHTER OF THE PRIDE, is slated for July 10, 2020. I'm super stoked because not only is the cover art gorgeous, it carries on the story... Continue Reading →
5 Authors You Should Be Reading Right Now
Ugh, that is such a clickbaity headline, I'm tempted to change it before I hit "publish". If it still says "5 Authors You Should Be Reading Right Now" then congratulations, you've seen that my trollishness outweighs my maturity level by a factor of ten. A few on this list are brand new. Others have been... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
The Match of the Century
I've had to step back from social media this past week. It's not for anything bad. It's just quickly becoming a time sink where I spend more time responding to... whatever somebody is butthurt about this week instead of writing. It's why I like this website. My home, my rules, and people don't have to... Continue Reading →
More Of This
Two great things for today. First, FREEHOLD: RESISTANCE is out in the wild. Barnes & Noble called and told me they had copies in the store, which I'd asked for (I like to stealth sign books). I think Friday I'm going into Roanoke to sign all the copies at both B&N stores. Assuming they still... Continue Reading →
Resist
Only two more days until the FREEHOLD: RESISTANCE anthology comes out. I'm super stoked about this one, since my story "The Prayer Wheel", is possibly one of my favorite short stories I've ever written. I also signed a contract to be in the next Freehold Universe anthology, tentatively titled FREEHOLD: DEFIANCE. I have one short... Continue Reading →
Book Cover Reveal
I've been having a lot of these this year, courtesy of producing a LOT of written material. GUNBOAT DIPLOMACY will be out on Jan 3, 2020. Co-authored with the always entertaining Jamie Ibson, here is the cover as well as the entire cover art wrap (for the print editions). The pirate kitty skull in the... Continue Reading →
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 →
Name of the Game?
I just got back from Colorado yesterday and I'm still beat, so I'll make this brief. I might put up a full-on AAR about the Colorado trip but then, it was pretty boring. The train trip was... interesting, to say the least, Patchouli Rod, you shall live on forever in infamy. Two new anthology invites... Continue Reading →
Dragoncon 2019 AAR — Vacation Mode Engaged Edition
This year's Dragoncon was a weird one for me. Not because it was my second year there, but because I was only there for two days. I had reasons for scheduling things like this, but the primary one was money. If you didn't know, Dragoncon is very expensive to attend. Not because of the convention,... Continue Reading →
