Today is the release of the long-awaited first book of a brand new series I'm writing. Wraithkin is out and available in both print and e-format, and the early reviews is that all my hard work has come to fruition with this book. Run and buy, share, talk about it. Publicity never hurt a writer.

The Dragon Awards
The inaugural Dragon Awards (hosted by Dragoncon, the biggest party for nerds in the entire southeastern U.S.) went off smashingly. I can't wait for them to release the results numbers so we can see just how many people actually voted. I'm going to throw out a number and say... hmm... 10,000. While that may seem … Continue reading The Dragon Awards
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
The Correct Words
Today is lesson day, and since everyone's use of vocabulary seems to be screwed up, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that people throw out words without actually knowing what they mean. And since I've been lumped in with those "fascist Mad Genius people" over at the Mad Genius Club, I … Continue reading The Correct Words
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!
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
Kaiju Day 3

If I ever have … Continue reading Kaiju Day 3
Stupid Busy
I've been stupidly busy the past few weeks (to steal a line from my friend Gerry). This is going to be a long update, so you may want to grab something to drink, or let the dog out. First off, let me say that Mysticon 2014 was an absolute blast. It went off without a … Continue reading Stupid Busy
Michael Z Williamson Essay
There's a lot of varying beliefs about what the future holds, especially when espoused in science fiction. The fact that anyone can look at the history of our planet and then postulate through science fiction that anything that failed in the past will work in the future because "the right people will be running things" … Continue reading Michael Z Williamson Essay
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
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
