So Much In So Long (and thanks for all the fish)
After speaking a bit with my publisher I can now confirm roughly my publishing schedule for the next 8 or 9 months.
September 5 — Forged in Blood anthology, ed. by Michael Z. Williamson from Baen Books. My short story within is called Magnum Opus. Early September — Corruptor (Book 1 of The Warp) from Anticipation Press. November — Devastator (Book 2 of The Warp) from Anticipation Press. December — Darkling (Book 2 of the Kin War Saga) from Theogony Books. February 2018 — Obliterator (Book 3...

Libertycon XXX AAR – The Update Version
Libertycon was a blast as usual, with plenty of programming to go around for everyone. Steampunk? They have authors for that. SF? Same. Fantasy? Oh yeah.
Brandy Bolgeo Spraker and her crew of loyal minions once again did an amazing job of putting together a fun and creative convention. This year the Chattanooga Choo Choo kinda screwed just about everyone on their rooms and it cost them, with half of the con attendees being forced to stay at the Marriott instead. This was a ton of lost revenue...

Time Marches On
I’m taking a quick break this morning from writing Darkling to update the site.
Uhhh… huh. Nothing much is going on. Libertycon is less than 2 weeks away and I am super excited about that. My vacation starts in six days (with only 3 days of work before that, cha-ching!) and I’m planning on getting a lot of stuff done in the books. I’m also working on the wikia of the Kin Wars Saga in my copious amount of spare time (where’s that sarcasm key?). I also did something… different 10 days ago.
I em...

Counting the Days
I keep getting older, and these publishers stay the same age…
Sorry Matthew McConaughey, that still sounds creepy.
I turned *coughcough* this past week and while I don’t feel any older, my brain is convinced that I am slowly falling to pieces physically. Sure I’ve had a lot of joint pain the past 18 months but what other former athlete hasn’t? As long as opiates and ibuprofen don’t take control I’ll be fine.
That’s what I tell myself. My doctor begs to differ.
I’ve been slowly adding more to ...

A Fistful of Time Slipping Through The Fingers
First off, I wanted to thank everyone who picked up a copy of Wraithkin over the past few months and then left a review. I really appreciate the reviews, especially when they average 4.7 out of 5 stars. It’s probably the highest rated book I’ve written, period. If you picked up a copy and haven’t left a review yet, I encourage you to do so. I heard somewhere that Amazon rewards you with leprechauns and pints of Guinness when you crack 50 reviews.
(ed. note — This might just be a rumor or a ve...

More News!
I go from 2 months without posting to 2 within a week.
Exciting news! Not only is “Magnum Opus” coming out in Forged in Blood from Baen Books this coming September, but another short story, “Paint the Sky”, will be featured in the A Fistful of Credits anthology from Seventh Seal Press, edited by Mark Wandrey and Chris Kennedy, and is coming out on June 30, 2017.
That’s less that two months away!
Here is the cover for the anthology. One day my name will be big enough to grace the cover of an a...

A Snippet from “Forged in Blood”
So I’m in another Baen Books anthology, this one titled Forged in Blood which is edited by Michael Z. Williamson and is based in his “Freehold” universe. Here is a quick description from the book:
NEW STORIES OF A MYSTICAL KILLING SWORD SET IN MICHAEL Z. WILLIAMSON’S FREEHOLD SERIES
WARRIORS AND SOLDIERS TIED TOGETHER THROUGHOUT TIME AND SPACE.
From the distant past to the far future, those who carry the sword rack up commendations for bravery. They are men and women who, like the swords the...

Keeping Busy
Time sure does fly.
I’ve been working a lot and wrapping up the basketball season. First year with a new offense, only 1 returning starter and a bunch of young guys and we finished at 10-19. Not too bad, considering. In the month of February it finally clicked and our PPG went up by almost 14 points per game and our shooting percentage went up a bunch too. We were ranked nationally in rebounds per game and our MVP was 2nd in the nation in rebounds per game. All in all, not bad. Next year look...

A Basketball Update
Man, basketball season has pretty much sucked away my entire life.
With practice almost every day and at least 2 games a week, and my regular 100+ hour work week schedule thrown in on top, it’s a wonder I even remember what my house looks like. We’ve gone through some major improvements as we get deeper into the season, and though we aren’t picking up the wins, we’re scaring the crap out of every team we play. The best part? I’m only graduating 3 seniors, and only 1 of them starts for me. I h...
