DAUGHTER OF THE PRIDE is finished! Yay! It's just under 100,000 words long and took me 3 months to write (counting my 3 week lost period when I had shingles, so really I wrote this one in 9 weeks). It's a direct sequel to SONS OF THE LION, though takes place roughly 3-6 months later. … Continue reading Daughter of the Pride

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 5 Authors You Should Be Reading Right Now
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 Another Book Release Day
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 The Match of the Century
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 Resist
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 Book Cover Reveal
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 Name of the Game?
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 Dragoncon 2019 AAR — Vacation Mode Engaged Edition
Migrating and Awards
I received a bit of good advice once from a man who doesn't like me. He told me "social media platforms come and go, but your website... well, that's yours." Indeed it is. The past 72 hours I've seen multiple utspoken friends banned from using Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook under what a lot of people … Continue reading Migrating and Awards
Still Awesome
The talented design team over at Mottfolio Design came up with this amazing design header for me. Love their work. The news is still shocking, to say the least. They say I'm a huge long shot but then, I did happen to be in a movie titled 50 to 1 a few years ago. Perhaps … Continue reading Still Awesome
2019 Dragon Award Finalist
Yeah, you read that correctly. My novel, Sons of the Lion, is a 2019 finalist for Best Military SciFi or Fantasy novel. What's really cool/interesting is that I didn't even campaign for it! Hell, I didn't even nominate myself. I have the world's coolest fans and friends. Thank you all for your support. Don't forget, … Continue reading 2019 Dragon Award Finalist
WyvaCon 2019 AAR — Food Poisoning Edition
This week has sucked. Last weekend I got food poisoning while in Virginia Beach (I did not know that you are NOT supposed to eat a steamed mussel that had not opened, who knew...) and I've been battling all week to be remotely human for WyvaCon this weekend in Wytheville, Virginia. I'm not sure how … Continue reading WyvaCon 2019 AAR — Food Poisoning Edition
We Dare & Sons of the Lion Are BOTH Out!
The past nine days have been tremendously exciting for me. First, a little over one week ago, SONS OF THE LION was released and immediately shot up the charts. The sales for it are still going strong, and the reviews have all been positive as readers are reintroduced to characters they'd only seen in short … Continue reading We Dare & Sons of the Lion Are BOTH Out!
FantaSci 2019 AAR – Gold Edition
First off, let me just say that FantaSci was an amazing first year con. Hat's off to Joel and his wonderful staff for putting on one hell of a convention. There have been very few conventions I've been to where I felt like I had come home. This is one of... two, total, with Libertycon … Continue reading FantaSci 2019 AAR – Gold Edition
Leprechauns And Reviews
Not sure if you heard or not, but Homeguard is out and currently kicking butt. We've already got 25 reviews, which means it is time for the Sacred Order of Barbecued Unicorns to unite (there's a long story about that somewhere on this website, I'll have to find it eventually) and grill up that tasty, … Continue reading Leprechauns And Reviews
