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

2021 Year In Review
So... yeah. That happened. I have to admit, when the year started I was full of hope. 2020 had sucked hard enough for three years, so I figured 2021 would be a lot better. In some regards, it was. I finished two books and almost completed three others. I actually attended two conventions last year, … Continue reading 2021 Year In Review
Keep Afloat
Today has been a perfect example of why I've kept this website up and running for 13 years now. John Scalzi once said (I'm quoting from memory, so it might not be word for word) -- "Social media platforms come and go... but your website? That'll be around long after." Don't get me wrong. Facebook, … Continue reading Keep Afloat
Wyvacon Weekend
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. It's … Continue reading Wyvacon Weekend
Good Versus Evil
One of the really cool things about being a reader as well as a writer is to go back and read those who inspired you when you were younger. To be whisked away to faraway and magical lands of adventure. Of dragons and knights, of the entire escapism which, to me, is what epic fantasy … Continue reading Good Versus Evil
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 Release Date Confirmed
Nine
On November 3, 2010, my very first novel ever was officially published. Corruptor was a YA story which told the story of a young girl trapped within a virtual reality video game with friends and enemies alike trying to find their way out while being held hostage. It did okay but interest in it waned … Continue reading Nine
Wronged Way
Cedar had an interesting post yesterday over at the Mad Genius Club (I actually missed the original post because I've been buried by basketball and finishing a book) and after reading it, I got to thinking (run! hide the women and children! he had two brain cells crash into one another on accident!) about professionalism … Continue reading Wronged Way
It’s Here!
Big news today! Kaiju Apocalypse is out and available via ebook over on Amazon. Best part about this? Amazon Prime members get it for free! Yeah, thought that would get your attention. So go forth, buy it, pay for my kitties' kibble (and Sophie's treats). If you don't, you probably don't love kitties and puppies and, more … Continue reading It’s Here!
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
Trolling For Love
I made a huge mistake today. I got sucked back into Wikipedia. There's just something amazingly addictive about updating wiki pages while adding information, updating, and even deleting irrelevant material. It's not as though I have nothing else to do (he writes as he stares at the open word document which has been mocking him … Continue reading Trolling For Love
Edited For Content
I didn't meet my writing goal the other day, so I didn't get to paint. Came close, though. But close doesn't cut it when you have deadlines. Trust me. Editors hate when you start an email off with "So I was trying to work out some of the plot details and...". You may as well be admitting … Continue reading Edited For Content
