Thar Be Pirates Afoot, Matey

So, what do you do when you find out that Meta (a hydra-like multinational technology company consisting of Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and the harvested souls of countless smartphone zombies) has stolen 40 of your books & short stories to train its darling artificially intelligent monster how to think like humans and generate "original" content? That's right. You write about it. 

Writing Update

It's been a couple months since my last check-in, so how are things progressing with Angels & Androids, the final installment in my Dome City Investigations trilogy? I'm so glad you asked. The going has been incredibly slow, but I've made it to the 65K mark. A minor victory. I've got about 25K left to draft, but I'm fairly certain where I'm headed at this point, so it should be a breakneck

Book Review: Midnight, Water City

Most will be speculative fiction in some form—genres I gravitate toward in my own writing. Today, it's the future-noir mystery/thriller Midnight, Water City by Chris McKinney: Year 2142: Earth is forty years past a near-collision with the asteroid Sessho-seki. Akira Kimura,

Supporting Indie Authors

Without the powerful marketing machine of those BIG publishers behind us, what do indie authors need most? Exposure. The more readers who discover our work, the better. This year, I'm doing my part each month, sharing books by folks who write in some of the same genres I do: When a monster hunter's last mission is to capture a wasteland girl, his only chance of survival is to turn the hunt

As a cross-genre writer, I'm often most comfortable whenever I can mix things up a bit, adding elements of science fiction to fantasy (and vice versa), horror to historical fiction, and comedy to all of the above. The weird western genre is one of my favorites, bringing the uncanny to the American frontier with monsters of all kinds. Overlapping that time period but set mainly in Victorian
