So when Corruptor went live last Friday, I neglected to mention that there is new content within as well as a new ending. The print book also went from 300 pages to 450. Yeah, that's a bit of a jump. Best of all, the novel (and series) was reclassified as YA, which is what it had been … Continue reading Quick Update

A Snippet from “Forged in Blood”
So I'm in another Baen Books anthology, this one titled Forged in Blood which is edited by Michael Z. Williamson and is based in his "Freehold" universe. Here is a quick description from the book: NEW STORIES OF A MYSTICAL KILLING SWORD SET IN MICHAEL Z. WILLIAMSON’S FREEHOLD SERIES WARRIORS AND SOLDIERS TIED TOGETHER THROUGHOUT TIME AND SPACE. From … Continue reading A Snippet from “Forged in Blood”
Hugo Season
So apparently it's Hugo season again (didn't we just do this?), though this year I'm thinking "Yeah, I lost a lot of time and energy last year dealing with that public smear campaign. I'm not even going to pay attention this year." Seriously. In 2014 I managed to get a ton of writing done. 2015? … Continue reading Hugo Season
Hugo Packets Are Here
You know the difference between living and surviving is? I didn't until this month began. Wow. Just... wow. I've been working so much lately that I haven't had a chance to really focus all of my energy and attention on Kraken Mare. Okay, let's be honest here: I haven't had a chance to focus any energy on … Continue reading Hugo Packets Are Here
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
Good Enough
Before you freak out and grab your pitchforks, I'm hard at work on Murder World: Kaiju Dusk. Really, I am. It's coming along nicely, and I think everyone will be pleased to know that Captain Vincente and his crew is back for a second round. Eric and I should have this novel done by the end of … Continue reading Good Enough
Murder World: Kaiju Dawn Deal
Murder World: Kaiju Dawn is currently on sale for a mere $0.99 right now on Amazon Kindle (Prime members get it for free, as always). You really, really should buy it. Then review it. Then tell all your friends about how you'd sell your second born for the sequel (first born is a bit steep).
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
CONTEST!
So I decided to try something different this time around with the release of Murder World: Kaiju Dawn. I'm going to run a contest. That's right, a contest. Running until Friday, June 6th at 10:00 PM EST, everybody who buys (or has already bought) a copy of Murder World: Kaiju Dawn and sends me a screen-shot of … Continue reading CONTEST!
Lost Words
Yesterday I had this wonderful 1800 word update ready to go up and I promptly deleted it all by pushing the wrong button. Since I don't type up blog posts first on a word document, then paste it here, everything was completely loss. Angered (at myself, because when I go dumbass, I don't do it by … Continue reading Lost Words
Cover Reveal! Murder World: Kaiju Dawn
Similar in appearance to Kaiju Apocalypse (but a different universe and story altogether, I promise) here is the rough draft cover for Murder World: Kaiju Dawn. Co-authored with Eric S. Brown again (we make quite the team -- this is the third book we've collaborated on in the past 8 months), it should see a release over the next … Continue reading Cover Reveal! Murder World: Kaiju Dawn
The Accidental Lecture
I sent off Homeworld: Rockfall to my coauthor Eric Brown yesterday afternoon. The first draft is done (yeah, I was slacking) and though it "only" took about 5 weeks to write, that was a rough five weeks. While the book itself isn't the longest thing I've ever written (I'm looking at you, Corruptor) it is, by far, … Continue reading The Accidental Lecture
