Update and Merry Christmas

Just a quick update while on “vacation”.

Wraithkinis doing exceptionally well still, staying around the ranking I had anticipated while the holiday season is still in full effect. I’m hoping that the first two weeks in January see an increase in sales since that’s usually the time people start to buy their books again.

Saw an awesome review by JR Handley forWraithkinas well. I should have pointed out that the Dominion, just like every other nation in existence, is not perfect. And I’ll leave...

Release Day

Today is the release of the long-awaited first book of a brand new series I’m writing.Wraithkinis 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.

That Random Update

Between being deathly ill, work, and basketball, I have been unable to accomplish much lately.

First, the bad. I had pneumonia. It was bad enough to absolutely level me for over two weeks and I’m still not 100% better. However, I felt well enough to return to work (albeit in a limited capacity) so there is that. Basically, my stress levels were too high and my immune system was compromised due to this. I’m getting better, though.

The better? Basketball season is going well. My guys played the...

Cover Reveal!

It’s cover reveal day here and I am pleased to show off the cover forWraithkin, Book 1 of a brand new series. Look at the texture, the color, the gorgeousness…

…

…you want to see it now, don’t you? Fine, I’ll quit yammering about it.

Ain’t No Time For Turkey

I feel like I just updated the site and yet it’s almost been a month since my last post. Wow…

I’m having a HUGE cover reveal here on Friday, November 18th. There will be dozens of people here to celebrate the cover reveal ofWraithkin, which is an absolutely GORGEOUS cover. It’s my first “solo” book in a while but also one that I’ve worked the longest on. I’m really looking forward to it.

Basketball season started off with a bang. We won our first game 62-37 while on the road. Next up is a tou...

Getting Progressively Better

So the past two weeks have been very exciting.

First off, there’s a cover reveal for the nextBaen Booksanthology that I’m a part of.Forged in Blood, which is edited by Michael Z. Williamson and set in hisFreeholduniverse, features my short storyMagnum Opus, which is the story of Rowan Moran, an Operative before The War. It’s exciting, fast-paced, and a little sad. Personally I love it and can’t wait for people to read it.

Next is news that is even more exciting. I signed a contract withTheog...

A Very Special Individual Indeed

Life has a way of grabbing you by the… nose and not letting go sometimes.

I’ve been deep inDarklingthe past month, adding to it whenever I can and trying to get this book done by Christmas. I have a plan for Christmas and I’m trying to see if it will happen. It’s a “plan” inasmuch as a goal, really. Or a deadline for myself and others. I don’t know how else to explain it without explaining it in too much detail.

You see,Wraithkinis in the hands of both potential publisher and potential agent...

The Absolute Purity of Genetics and Life

My brain works weird.

I was in the kitchen making dinner (and mentally writingDarkling,the sequel toWraithkin), and my brain started thinking about my short story in the upcomingFREEHOLDanthology (ed. by Michael Z. Williamson).

There’s a part in the story (Magnum Opus) where it is revealed that my main character is gay. No big deal, he just wanted to be written that way (the four rough drafts that got tossed can affirm this). It was when I was thinking about my character when it dawned on me...

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 like a high number, I’m guestimating and lowballing the potential voters by comparing them to the Hugo Awards and Worldcon 2016.

Worldcon had 7,338 members (supporting and attending) and...

No Saving Today

So I’m finally caught up at work and have some free time so I can update the dang site. Not that there is a lottooupdate, other than being forced to buy a new car.Yeah, I bought a new car because the old one got totaled.

No worries, no serious injuries, butdamn it I wanted to save money right now!

Shiny and chrome

Ahem.

Got wind that theFreeholdanthology coming out from Baen Books has been placed in the queue, which means anywhere from 12-18 months until release. Even though I’ve been publish...
