But first, three items of major import: As of 11 May 2018 I have received my doctorate in U.S. History from Kansas State University. Here is one picture of me getting hooded by my committee chair, Dr. […]
Another Review for An Unproven Concept
Got a positive review from fellow author (and friend) H.P. Holo. She’s gentle on me, considering I haven’t killed her husband (and fellow author) Jacob Holo yet. (He won a contest to have a warship named after him at Libertycon. Gotta love Con fam!)

Young's Ten Tips
Susanne Lambdin and I do a regular panel we call “Strategy and Tactics of Novel Writing.” Inevitably we figure some poor sods come in thinking we’re going to talk military stuff. For you folks, we are sorry. For everyone else, don’t be fooled–we really do talk about how to write a novel. We usually start […]
