The Kin Wars on Kindle Unlimited

This links to KU collection. Click the link. Click it. Cleeeeeeeeeeeek it.

My publisher, Theogony Books, moved all of the Kin Wars books back onto Kindle Unlimited today. We’re super excited about this because it means those who prefer to read primarily through the KU program can now delve into the Espinoza family adventures.

Yes, authors still get paid if you read in KU. The more people who read, the more we get paid.

Awww yeah.

WriterDojo

I know a lot of people hate on Larry Correia because of his politics, but nobody can state with any honesty that he doesn’t understand business. He and Steve Diamond (another accountant… what’s up with the accountants taking over writing?) host a weekly podcast called WriterDojo, which is designed to help out those who are struggling to become a professional writer.

For those of you who are just getting into the writing business, today’s episode on the WriterDojo podcast, “The Basics of Busi...

URBICIDE — Coming Sept 3

My sometimes co-author/editor Jamie Ibson has a book coming out this Friday. It’s his first ever standalone book in his own universe. You want to get in on the ground floor of some sweet, sweet all-new cyberpunk? This is your chance.

Available this Friday on Amazon — URBICIDE, Book One of Myrmidons, Inc.

Also, you should sign up for his newsletter. He’s always giving away free short stories for those who sign up. He also links with others who do the same.

Why don’t I do this? Well, ...

And Then The Author Lost His Cool

It used to be amusing.

Back when I was first starting out, I kept people more up-to-date with what was going on in my every day life. Between reviewing books (and we reviewed a lot of them over at Shiny Book Review), working 100+ hours a week, maintaining some semblance of sanity in the home life (ha!), and writing books, you could say I was a busy guy. Occassionally I’d get a message of “you should be writing” whenever someone would see me online. It caused a good chuckle, a message to the p...

Good Morning Stench

Ah, there’s nothing quite like the smell of raw sewage in the morning.

Somewhere near my house there’s a sewer line issue. It’s not my house, thankfully. At least, I’m pretty sure it’s not. Fortunately, the smell isn’t really noticeable in my office or bedroom. Anywhere there’s an open window, though… ugh.

I’m currently taking a break from the last two chapters of WINTERBORN to get a short story I owe finished and turned in on time. THE GHOST WOLF OF DEEP ELEVEN is one of those shorts peo...

Dog Days

It’s tough to write during the dog days of summer. Especially when you’re like me and don’t function well in the heat. I swear my next house will have central A/C and good insulation.

I’ve been doing a lot of quiet “behind the scenes” stuff when it comes to writing the past few weeks. Primarily, I’ve been outlining and editing while slowly working on the next Kin Wars book. Outlining is simultaneously easy (due to the established universe) and hard (for the same reason as mentioned before). C...

It Takes All Kinds

The Salvage Universe, created by Kevin Steverson, is really expanding. I was fortunate enough to have been invited to participate in an anthology in the universe. Today the cover was revealed and it is very retro 60’s science fiction. I’m a huge fan of this style and really enjoy it.

“It Takes All Kinds” will be out sometime this fall. If you haven’t checked out the Salvage Universe yet, I’d recommend starting at the first trilogy and going from there. My short story is titled “A Most Dan...

Book Cover Reveal

WINTERBORN, Book 1 of the Kin Wars Legacy (but Book 5 in the Kin Wars Universe), by NTLT Productions. This cover is noice!

WINTERBORN will be released on November 9, 2021.

Audiobook is Live

HOMEGUARD, Book 4 of the Kin Wars Saga, just had the audiobook drop over on Audible. narrates the final book of the saga once more and, as usual, does a bang-up job of it. You should burn one of those audible credits on it.

Also… in the next few days I’ll be having the COVER REVEAL for the first book in the Kin Wars Legacy, WINTERBORN. I don’t have any idea if/when that’ll go up on audible, but I do know it’ll be live and for sale on November 9, 2021 in both ebook and print.

Guest of Honor

I received my first Guest of Honor for a convention this coming September. I’ll be the Guest of Honor at WyvaCon, a science fiction and gaming convention in Wytheville, VA this coming September 18–19, 2021. I’ve been an attending guest the past few times I attended and always had a good time. I’m really looking forward to celebrating the return of this con. Tickets are on sale now and if you’re not looking to drop a lot of money to get into a convention, then WyvaCon might be for you.

Sept. ...
