I’ve crawled up from the end-of-year doldrums and am working to get back on track in the week ahead.

I start each morning […]

I’ve spent this week in “aggressive self-care” mode. I took the week off the day job and spent the first three or four days of it just reading in the hammock and sleeping. I’m off booze through at least the end of the year, and limiting myself to two cups of coffee in the morning,

Tonight at 7pm I’m in conversation with spooky gore emperox Cassandra Khaw. We’ll be discussing their latest novel, The All-Consuming World. This one was a little brutal even for me, which tells you something. I blurbed it thusly: “This is Khaw at their most raw and unrestrained. Prepare for a wild ride.” Reserve Seat I’ve also

August has arrived here Ohio, and with it – some warm, dry glorious weather. The birches have begun shedding their leaves.

What a year, huh? But I scraped my way through, and so did you. After a long period of churn in which I wrote 60,000+ words of various openings for my next novel, LOSING GRAVITY, I’ve finally slid it into gear and have about 30k of what will be a 90-100k draft that’s due in December

Perhaps this understanding of what’s come before is why I’m so frustrated when folks can’t see the same things I do,

I am exceptionally proud and humbled that The Light Brigade made the Hugo shortlist! 2019 was an amazing year for books. I know it must have been difficult for voters to narrow down their list of favorites. I couldn’t keep up with everything I wanted to read (it’s been a rough timeline!). I do want

After a relatively quiet 2018 (comparatively), this year is warming up to be a busy one, with THREE book releases and at least one, probably two Big Book deadlines, and ongoing Patreon story deadlines each month as I continue to build a legion of heroes on Patreon. Here are the big new releases you can

I put off doing all my year-end admin, mainly because I wanted to have a couple of days that were actually days off, and then because I’ve been head down working on The Broken Heavens and then my latest Patreon story there at the month’s end. Year-end is a time of reflection for good reason.
