CONTEST!
So I decided to try something different this time around with the release ofMurder World: Kaiju Dawn. I’m going to run a contest.
That’s right, a contest.
Running until Friday, June 6th at 10:00 PM EST, everybody who buys (or has already bought) a copy ofMurder World: Kaiju Dawn and sends me a screen-shot of the receipt is entered to win a free book of mine of their choice, print or ebook (unless, you know, it’s out of print… then it’ll have to be an ebook).
The drawing will take place Friday on...

Murder World Is Out
So remember when I said thatKaiju Apocalypsewas on sale for $0.99 for the upcoming release ofMurder World: Kaiju Dawn? Well, that was one short wait, wasn’t it?
Well, the Kindle version ofMurder World: Kaiju Dawnis out and available now. Best of all, there was a slight cover change (I’m a horrible human being). You should buy this book. It has one of my favorite characters ever in it.

Price Drop
In anticipation of the release ofMurder World: Kaiju Dawn, Amazon is currently offeringKaiju Apocalypsefor a mere $0.99. That’s pretty awesome. You should totally buy it now that it’s cheaper than a crappy McDonald’s double cheeseburger (I think, I could be wrong about the price of a double cheeseburger and the quality of said item).
And if you’re wondering if I get less royalties at $0.99 than I did at $2.99, my response is “Basic math says yes. Basic economic suggests I will get more due to...

Memorial Day
Enjoy the day, and never forget.
In Flanders Fields by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break fai...

12 Hours
You know, before the Uncle Timmy Witch Hunt began, I was so pleased with yesterday. It had been a gorgeous day in which I accomplished quite a bit (wrote 4,500 words, continued working on fencing in the backyard, kept Sophie from killing a couple of snakes) and I took a picture of the sunset on the farm. Who knew what 12 hours could do?

Uncle Timmy and the Thought Police
I’m going to tell you a little story about a good man who has been slandered and libeled by one individual who is hiding behind the anonymity of the Internets. That good man? Tim “Uncle Timmy” Bolgeo.
You see, a pathetic troll whose name I’m not going to bother typing (because it’s a nickname that the individual hides behind because they’re afraid of owning up to their actions) has, after taking random snippets of conversations and tacky jokes that Uncle Timmy publishes on something called “Th...

Too Much Gloat
It never ceases to amaze me just how much an author will research just for one freaking line in a book…
I actually got to utter this sentence tonight while working onKaiju Armageddon. I mean, between researching the vagus nerve and then radio wave transmission to Ceres and the asteroid belt, I’ve really messed with the NSA tonight (oh, and my peek at where Camp David was on Google Maps probably made them squirm a bit as well). Ah well. I’d shout “For science!” but it’s more like “For Death and...

Lost Words
Yesterday I had this wonderful 1800 word update ready to go up and I promptly deleted it all by pushing the wrong button. Since I don’t type up blog posts first on a word document, then paste it here, everything was completely loss. Angered (at myself, because when I godumbass, I don’t do it by halves) I went ahead and just said “Screw it” and went to playWorld of Tanks instead. I felt a little better afterwards, but not that much.
Kaiju Apocalypseis doing well on Amazon, though it has slipped...

Cover Reveal! Murder World: Kaiju Dawn
Similar in appearance toKaiju Apocalypse(but a different universe and story altogether, I promise)here is the rough draft cover forMurder World: Kaiju Dawn. Co-authored with Eric S. Brown again (we make quite the team — this is the third book we’ve collaborated on in the past 8 months), it should see a release over the next few weeks.
Thoughts?

Sold! And Please Tip Your Waiter
That turnaround time has to be some sort of record.
Murder Worldhas a new title and a home.Severed Press(those who brought you Kaiju Apocalypseby myself and Eric S. Brown) bought it Wednesdaymorning (less than 12 hours after we finished it), and we decided to go with a different title. It’s nowMurder World: Kaiju Dawn.
Why did we do this, you ask? Well, two reasons. The first is marketing. WithMurder World, quite a few people asked me if I had written a Marvel novel. I had no idea that the name...
