New-ish Collection
Alternative Histories collects 7 tales from a past that never was—but could have been, given enough science fiction, fantasy, and horror tossed into the mix. Travel back to a time when super-powered minutemen fought King George's zombie horde, when memories were bought and sold during the Great Depression, and when JFK tried to stop an alien invasion just prior to his assassination. Time-travel

Blurb + Early Reviews
I'm in the process of getting Madame Antic's Hotel Grotesque ready for pre-order across all sales channels. It should be good to go next week with a release date scheduled for early May. The new cover is ready, and I've overhauled the blurb a bit. Here's the current iteration:In an alternate Victorian era replete with aerovehicles, automatons, and other electrik wonders, factory worker

Book Review: The Book of Elsewhere
One of my goals this year is to keep track of what I read. Whether I enjoy the book or not, I'll post a blurb and brief review. Most will be speculative fiction in some form—genres I gravitate toward in my own writing. Today, it's the collaborative effort of Keanu Reeves (who had the idea) and China Mieville (who did all the writing), The Book of Elsewhere. Here's the blurb:There have always

Cover Reveal - Take Two
Some of you may remember when my novel Madame Antic's Hotel Grotesque first greeted the world, way back when. At the time, I was pleased that it had finally found a publisher after a long, harrowing search. But I was never impressed with the cover art, among other things, and some experiences are best left in the rearview mirror. Fast-forward to 2025: The rights have reverted to me, and

The kids they call him "Roadkill" on account of how them Horrors sucked him up into the sky to have their way with him, then dropped him in the middle of a street full of traffic. Must've gotten run over five or six times before them cars and trucks stopped to see what they'd hit. But Joe he just stood up without a bone broke in his entire body and not a drop of blood leaking out. His back's hurt

Book Review: Bannerless
One of my goals this year is to keep track of what I read. Whether I enjoy the book or not, I'll post a blurb and brief review. Most will be speculative fiction in some form—genres I gravitate toward in my own writing. Today, it's the PKD-award-winning post-apocalyptic crime novel Bannerless by Carrie Vaughn. Here's the description:Decades after economic and environmental collapse

The Halfway Point
Passed the 45K mark in my latest work-in-progress: Angels & Androids (Dome City Investigations, Book 3). I'm feeling pretty good about where the story's going; I just wish I had more writing stamina these days. And time. That's it for excuses. I'm averaging a few hundred words a day when I can BICHOK (butt in chair, hands on keyboard). A far cry from the good ol' 1K/day regimen I had
