Plan On Sticking To The Plan
It’s amazing the amount of crap that can happen over the course of two weeks, am I right?
First off, the kinda bad news — CKP has declined to pick up the fifth book in the Kin Wars Saga, WINTERBORN. This isn’t entirely unexpected as sales in the series have flagged since the first two. Call it bad timing or what you will, but neither DEATHLORDS or HOMEGUARD reached the threshold necessary to make the books extremely popular. I understand CKP’s decision, but it does put me in a bind as I’ve sp...

Missed Deadlines
Yeah, I did it again.
WINTERBORN hit a bump in the road right near the end and I’m now struggling to wrap up the last little bit of the book. Since I’d given myself a due date of July 31 on this one, it is now 10 days overdue. However, since I’d given myself an Aug 15 turn-in due date, I’m still good.
Probably.
What’s funny about this is that it ties in to something I inadvertently started a few weeks back. Larry Correia (I blame that man for everything) posted a picture of everything h...

Audiophiles Rejoice!
DEATHLORDS is now available on audible!
Narrated by Rob Saladino once again (WRAITHKIN, DARKLING), listen to ten hours of pulse-pounding, high-intensity military science fiction with just a splash of espionage tossed in, then topped with the fight to save a family’s honor and integrity in the midst of a brewing civil war. DEATHLORDS is available for only $14.95 with your Audible membership.
Also, DAUGHTER OF THE PRIDE is still #1 and going strong. Have you picked up your copy? If so, did y...

Still #1
Thanks to everyone for helping make DAUGHTER OF THE PRIDE the #1 bestselling book in action and adventure on Amazon! Not only did it reach #1 within hours of being released, it has held down the #1 spot (minus a few hours when my friend Tim C. Taylor’s book took it over) since. That is because each and every one of YOU helped make it possible.
WINTERBORN (Book 5 of the Kin Wars Saga) is still on track for an August 15 submission to the publisher. I’m writing scenes at the moment which eer...

RELEASE DAY — DAUGHTER OF THE PRIDE
Finally, today is the day! I love Release Day because it means I can finally talk about events in the book. You have no idea how hard it is for someone like me to shut up about a project. Especially once which I put so much into, like I did with DAUGHTER OF THE PRIDE.
Also, the narrator turned in the audiobook for DEATHLORDS recently and we’ll be seeing that up on audible in the coming weeks. I’m jazzed about getting this one up, and hopefully they will get book 4 (HOMEGUARD) of the Kin W...

The Quiet Month
“Jason’s being quiet… he must be writing.”
You would assume correctly. I’m on course to complete WINTERBORN before the end of the month. It’ll go to the Mega Awesome Beta Force group to be torn apart and put back together to make sure continuity is solid still. I lose track of things. Everybody does. But the really cool thing is I’ve already started the next book in the series, and I wrote the ending of the entire series. That’s right. I might be getting ahead of myself, but I wanted to get i...

Deifying the Flawed Man
Cancel culture is rampant throughout the world right now as we know it. If a person isn’t 100% in line with the “flavor of the week” cause they are ruthlessly culled from the ranks of the “good” and instantly cast as wicked, evil, and on the “wrong side of history”. That last phrase is one I particularly dislike because unless our descendants place us upon pedestals to be worshiped, history should remember us for both the good and the bad we do in our lives.
But how does this work? Any histor...

#LionWatch Contest
Coming July 10, 2020 from Seventh Seal PressI meant to post this a few days ago but I decided to hold off until today because we’re just over 30 days away from the release of “DAUGHTER OF THE PRIDE” (July 10), the followup novel to the 2019 Dragon Award Finalist “SONS OF THE LION“.
Last year I ran a competition called the #LionWatch, where you basically tagged me on social media (@warpcordova on both Twitter and Instagram) with the #LionWatch, a picture of a lion of some sort that you too...

The Main Idea
Ive been officially in wrtiers mode the past few months. I can tell because I looked back over what Ive turned in recent weeks.
First there was DAUGHTER OF THE PRIDE, sequel to SONS OF THE LION. Set in the expansive Four Horsemen Universe, I was happy to be able to continue Sunshines story and leave it open for another book starring her and the motley new members of the Kakata Korps.
My short story (which quickly turned into a novella) for the WE DARE: SEMPER PARATUS anthology, written with...

Cover Reveal Part Deux
The other day I showed off the cover for the upcoming Four Horsemen Universe novel, DAUGHTER OF THE PRIDE. Today Im showing off the cover for the next anthology Im in, titled WE DARE SEMPER PARATUS.
Yes, this is a themed anthology. The last one, WE DARE, focused on augmented humanity and lifeforms. I had a short story in it set within the Kin Wars Universe explaining how the Wraith Corps came to be, as well as drop a HUGE bombshell as to the source of the AI in the Brightsuit (if you have...
