There’s an old saying about commercial relationships: “Never do business with someone you’re not ready to do business to.” I can’t recall when I first heard it (recent attempts to blame my mother have been vehemently refuted by Mama Shark), but it’s something I’ve remembered. Especially with regards to doing business with friends and family. The […]
Writing Business
We Have A Cover!
For the next Phases of Mars anthology: Yep, that’ll do! Pretty excited about the line up we have–this should go very well.
Making A List…
It’s always fun to make any reading list. It’s double fun when that list is curated by your local library.
Fight…for your rights…NO REALLY
A friend of mine shared this news story out of Los Angeles today. When I saw the headline and preview, I had to do a double take to make sure it wasn’t The Onion. I cant’ really fathom who thought this was a good idea to try and fit into an employment contract, even as […]
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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
