Eat, Drink, and Be Merry

Life, The Writing Life

Tis the holiday season, when the days grow shorter and many of us are compelled to curl up under a heavy blanket and sleep until mid-January when the light returns. I blame Darwin. Through a bizarre and serendipitous series of events, I’ll be starting a new day job next week (yes, yes, I still have …

Survival Is An Achievement. But What Comes Next?

Crazy, Darkest Timeline, The Writing Life

I’ve been publishing novels for ten years, this month, and my first series is still, miraculously, in print. That’s a pretty cool achievement. Both being in print and still being here, still under contract, still writing (albeit slowly, these days). Enduring the highs and lows of publishing and coming out the other side isn’t for …

2020: The Lost Year

Darkest Timeline, Life, The Writing Life

It’s easy to be hard on myself here at the end of 2020. I confidently predicted I’d have another book finished well ahead of my deadline in September. I resolved to spend more time building up the Patreon so I could begin to plan for another attempt at full time writing in the next couple …

Heading Into the New Twenties Like…

The Writing Life

My writing career began, properly, in early 2011 with the publication of God’s War, a book that I’d finished writing back in 2007 and sold both in 2008 and again in 2009. And while I’d had a few short stories published prior, God’s War was the bloody, exciting, bug-filled debut that introduced most folks in …

The Logic of Time Travel (With Graphs!)

Bookery, Light Brigade, ScIeNCe, The Writing Life

As The Light Brigade takes the world by storm, I’ve heard from readers who want to know more about the “complicated graphs” I mention in the acknowledgments. These are the graphs that Dr. Joshua Bowman created for my agent, Hannah Bowman, and I to run The Light Brigade characters through to ensure there was narrative …

Why Do So Many Artists Suck at Business? Because Businesses Like It That Way

The Writing Life

A recent conversation on Twitter inspired a tweet storm from me at like 2 am. One author asked other writers what was the one piece of advice they would give to debut novelists. The responses were interesting and mostly upbeat, except when they… weren’t. You could pretty much guess how somebody’s first novel experience went …
