You know, it has occurred to me I should probably, I don’t know, actually update this thing more often than I do. So, with that in mind, we’ll cover some of the highlights of everything that happened since February. There’s going to be a longer post on things like what do I suggest for cons (as […]

The Hammer Slams No More (David Drake Is Retiring)
There will be a longer post later. However, as many of you are fellow military sci-fi fans, I thought I’d share the news that David Drake is officially retiring. Mr. Drake has been talking about his declining health for several months, and I am unfortunately unsurprised. I can’t say for certain how long I’ve been reading […]
Social Media = Author Business Tool
So independent author to independent author, let’s talk about social media. In case you haven’t noticed (HA!), there’s been a lot of angst over social media as of late. As in, multiple folks are being downright vehement on whether some sites deserve patronage at all. Uh…do y’all want to make money? Because unless anyone is […]

More Content Coming Soon
In the words of Kid Rock, I’ve been around…I’ve seen some things. But there has been no getting high with kings for sleeping in dumpsters, I assure you. In the list of coming attractions, I’m putting Acts of War and Collisions of the Damned, my two alternate history novels, together in one collection entitled On […]
I Swear I'm Not Dead…
Sorry folks, I’ve been really neglecting the blog. Terrible of me. So, some news to report–I’ve had three books go on Audible since I was last here: Acts of War Barren SEAD An Unproven Concept–Kraken Omnibus Edition If you run a blog or FB page and want to do a review, let me know. More […]
