(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.

January has been one busy month! As you know, Bob, CHICKS IN TANK TOPS came out January 3 and continues to do well. Response has been amazing and the authors all contributed awesome stories for it.

I Thought It Had Only Been Two Weeks!
I thought only two weeks had passed since I'd last updated. I was WRONG. Oops. My bad. I'm on a vacation of sorts right now (first time I've done this and not been at a science fiction convention in a long time) but I figured I would update everyone on the crazy life of Cordova. … Continue reading I Thought It Had Only Been Two Weeks!
Crazy Train to the South
What a crazy few weeks it has been! Packing up to move was an adventure, to say the least. It was one of those last-minute "Oh crap, we're leaving in 3 days and we're not finished packing!" sort of things. 1 star out of 5, do not recommend. But with the help of our friends … Continue reading Crazy Train to the South
Moving Day Is Close
Not that I'm counting or anything, but I'm eight days away from moving out of my house and to another state. I'm super excited about moving for my new job.

Helping Out Another
This week, I want to talk to you about a friend of mine I've known for **cough cough mumble** years now who only recently became an author. His name? Shane Gries. Shane writes what I like to call epic space opera. He's less about the "pew pew!" and more about the story and plot. Not … Continue reading Helping Out Another

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.

2020 In the Rear View Mirror
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 2020 In the Rear View Mirror
