Libertycon 35 AAR — The (Delayed) Long Vacation Edition

This is long overdue, but I’ve been stupid busy trying to catch up on work stuff since I got back. Because I also am relying on a brain that has suffered 30+ documented concussions for memory purposes, I might have forgotten a thing or two (or dozen or more). So bear with me… there’s a LOT to cover, because it was LIBERTYCON!

Libertycon, for the uninitiated, was the first convention which had me on as an attending professional/guest back when I was a mere fledgling of a newbie author. I’d had...

eARC for Monster Hunter Memoirs: Fever is Live!

(I have an AAR from Libertycon that is… coming. Eventually. I promise.)

The eARC for Monster Hunter Memoirs: Fever is currently LIVE over at the Baen website. An eARC, for those of you who haven’t heard the term before, is short for electronic Advance Reader Copy. Baen sells these before the book comes out so readers who simply CANNOT wait can get an unproofed but close to final version of the manuscript months before it hits bookshelves. For us authors they’re wonderful because the royalty r...

NEWS! I GOT NEWS!

Sorry for the delay but I have been crazy busy the past month.

Larry Correia and I turned in the final draft, edits, and copyedits for MONSTER HUNTER MEMOIRS: FEVER to Baen last week. We did that turnaround in about four days which, if you know how slow publishing can be, had to have come close to setting a record. Instead of being a little behind schedule, we’re now looking good and everything is done. The eARC should come out from Baen in the next few weeks (yay!).

Libertycon 35 was this...

In the Land of Confusion (aka Cordovatown)

It’s not like I purposefully forget to update the website!

I, uh, forgot to update the website… all the same.

So what’s new in the Land of Cordova? Well, quite a bit is going on around here.

Larry Correia and I are going over the final edits of MONSTER HUNTER MEMOIRS: FEVER right now. Yeah, we’re a little behind schedule, but the book itself is amazing. I’m usually the sort who plays down the book, but this one? WOW. October 6, 2023 is the release date. You can preorder it at Barnes & N...

Preorder Day — In France!

The Kin Wars have been translated into another language — this time, we’re invading France!

(I jest, I jest… Spain doesn’t want France. We want Portugal)

This means the Kin Wars have now been translated into German and French, besides the original English publication. Counting the Japanese translation for the Kaiju Apocalypse novelettes I co-authored with Eric S. Brown back in 2014 and I’m now in four languages! Woot!

Gotta admit, the French title for the series is pretty baller. Defini...

Release Day — in Germany!

The German translation of SONS OF THE LION is currently live over on Amazon.de.

For some reason my books do very well in Germany. I’m not complaining. I just find it odd. Keep buying my books, German-speaking world, and I’ll keep writing them.

Wenn du das Gold des Kaisers nimmst, wirst du zum Mann des Kaisers.

Für Oberst Mulbah Luo und das Kakata-Korps sahen die ersten Verträge mit der Söldnergilde vor, dass sie die Erde verteidigen. Ehrliche Arbeit, wie man ihnen weismachen woll...

FantaSci 2023 AAR — The “It’s Still This Week” Edition

Once again Joel Lyons and crew put on an amazing FantaSci. Thanks to all the volunteers who worked their tails off to make sure this year’s FantaSci went off without too many hitches.

But before the con started… dinner at The Angus Barn in Raleigh, NC!

Joining us was our host, Flight Doc (name protected for security reasons ), Mark and Joy Wandrey, Marisa Wolf and her husband, Jeremy. Christopher L. Smith, Mark Stallings, Jon Osborne, and Jacob and H.P. Holo. Food was fantastic (Flight Do...

Future Books Podcast and Other Stuff

A few weeks back I sat down with the Future Books podcast and talked about THE MISFITS, ON A CLOUDY DAY, and my Baen anthology CHICKS IN TANK TOPS. We also talked briefly about my forthcoming collaboration with Larry Correia, MONSTER HUNTER MEMOIRS: FEVER, which will hit bookstores later this year on October 6.

Here are some links if you want to give it a go.

Release Day! March Edition

THE MISFITS (coauthored with the amazing Kevin Ikenberry) was released into the wild on Friday and we hit #1 in the category almost immediately on Amazon. Granted, it dropped back down to #2 eventually but for those glorious 12 hours? Oh yeah, I reveled in it.

Working on another project at the moment. A new series in an urban fantasy setting. I took about two weeks off after finishing my latest short story for Jamie Ibson (Until the Wolves Arrive is going to be in WE DARE 5: OLD AGE AND T...

Procrastinating Like A Boss

I owe Jamie Ibson a short story (…UNTIL THE WOLVES ARRIVE) but, as usual, I’m just not feeling it right now. Which is weird because when we were plotting this thing out, it was arguably the best thing ever. Quintus Fox and Jamie’s character Orph Buffington teaming up in a two-part story duology? Sign me up! But… *sigh*

It’s not that I don’t want to write, I just need a break. A short one, which is probably going to be sooner rather than later since I’m probably going to be incapacitated due t...
