Warship Wednesday–Death of a Prince
It is my intent to do a 2019 Year In Review blog post at some point before the end of the month. Until then, feel free to read some in-depth analysis of the Prince of Wales‘ loss. Much like reading an autopsy report will tell you quite a bit about how the human body fails, this […]
Paths to Publishing
Fellow author (and good person) Holly Messinger shared this infographic on paths to publishing on FB earlier today. The original source has more information and commentary at this link. I agree with what the original poster said on most counts. As an indie, I assure you, fair reader, that you will be doing a lot of […]

News From the Con World
This mirrors what a lot of other vendors have said about the 2019 season and concerns about 2020. While I will be potentially doing as many shows, I’m definitely leaning towards new markets with proven performers. This is also something to consider for the larger author community. One may have to take a deep breath […]
Review of Midway (2019 Film)
I’ve been plugging away on Against the Tide Imperial most of November for Nano. I was amidst the Kido Butai engaging four of the Royal Navy’s carriers in the Indian Ocean when my memory jogged: I never reviewed Midway despite intending to right after seeing it. This, folks, is called “Nano-brain,” in which other tasks seem to fall […]
WWII Quick References (NOV 2019)
Figured I’d perchance save loyal readers some gumshoe work down the road if they ever want to do a World War II story: You can find ONI drawings for World War II references (like for your cartographer to draw ship outlines) here. This is a good time zone converter for those cases when you go […]
Happy Veteran's Day Potpourri Post
So it’s been a bit since I’ve updated the blog. I figured I’d hit some of the high points of the last couple of weeks: Attended the Ozark Book Con down in Fayetteville this past weekend as a vendor. First year event with all that entails, but had good panels and talks with several good […]
Some people need no introduction…
”Those in Peril presents some intriguing concepts by reshuffling naval history’s deck of cards. The US and Royal navies on opposite sides in World War I, and contending along our east coast 10 years later. Then the U.S. allied with Japan in “The Oahu Pact” during the next world war. Along the way we see […]

Now It Can Be Told
So for about two months now, I’ve been having to sit on the line up for Trouble In The Wind. Behold, the magnificence of the headliners… If someone had told me when this whole indie thing got started, “Hey, you know someday you’re going to be editing an alternate history anthology with S.M. Stirling in it?”, […]
Metal Monday: The Return of Korn & More News
So I didn’t realize it’s been almost three years since Korn graced a Metal Monday. (Man I wish the sound system had been better for the Topeka concerts.) So, without further ado, we’re going to go back…way back. 😀 Apparently Jonathan Davis wrote the song as an aid to fight against domestic abuse. It’s lyrics […]
