*coughs on dust* So it’s funny going back and finding the number of times I’ve tried to update the “Metal Monday” program. I will say, in the dark ages of trying to get things done, that became one of the “things that could go away.” So we’re going to try and do this again. 😀 […]

On Anthologies
So there was a discussion on a fellow author’s Facebook about anthologies. While I wasn’t going to add to my long “to do” stack, Cedar Sanderson felt strongly enough about the issue to put together a great post about the topic, while Dorothy Grant also gave her views on the topic. I’ll add a couple things […]
The Write Up That Was Foretold…
So about a year ago, when I was talking to several of my fellow indie author friends, they mentioned a convention known as “LTUE.” When I asked what the acronym stood for, I was told, “Life, The Universe, and Everything.” Being familiar with conventions overselling and underperforming (and shamefully not recognizing the Hitchhiker’s Guide to […]
LTUE Snippet and Those In Peril
Hey Everyone! So last week was pretty wild. I attended Life, The Universe, and Everything (LTUE), a writer’s symposium based in Provo, UT. Longer discussion coming soon, once I have a chance to collect all my thoughts and note from the weekend. Suffice to say I had a blast, got to see lots of old friends […]
Those In Peril…
Anthology drops on the 15th! Links to follow when they go hot!

Back in the Top 100
So it’s been a busy couple of months with the imminent release of Those In Peril and making preparations for next year’s con season. But, I’m glad to report that Acts of War, the first novel in The Usurper’s War series, is back in the Top 100 for several categories on Amazon. So if you haven’t already […]

Nano Nano
So, I’ve started my Nano project for this year (while still editing For Those In Peril…). For 2018 I decided to do the next novel in the Usurper’s War series. It is entitled Against the Tide Imperial, and I’ll hopefully be able to build off of Nano momentum to get it out in the first half of […]
Humanitarian Assistance and the Navy
So for USNI’s General Essay Contest last year, I posited that maybe the United States Navy should develop purpose built vessels for disaster relief. While I did not place, they liked the article well enough to put it on the Naval Institute’s Blog.
Aries Red Sky Reviews
The Book Addicts and AudioSpy had some very nice things to say about Aries’ Red Sky. Go check the reviews out and, once you’re done there, feel free to go buy Aries’ Red Sky if you haven’t already.
Aries' Red Sky Dramatis Personae
So I got the first review in my audiobook blog tour yesterday. It was very positive–and brought up something I didn’t think about, which is that listeners of the audiobook have no way of getting a character list. So, without further ado, here one is: Dramatis Personae for Aries’ Red Sky C.S.S. Marxville Captain Tyr […]
