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 […]

Back from GENCON
GENCON was amazing. But, it’s late, and I have to go to work. Just like to give a shout out to all the staff, volunteers, and attendees who made it a great four days. If you’re into fantasy, check out my booth neighbor J.J. Sherwood and her Steps of Power series!
Random Thoughts
On the transitory nature of things: So I’ve mentioned Project Wonderful on here a couple of times. Well, after over a decade of great adverts at low prices, they’re closing their doors.

It’s at 95,000 words or so, and will be headed to the editor (Lord willing and the creek don’t rise) at the end of the month.

News on Reviews
Recent news about Amazon reviews here. My quick thoughts: Jeff Bezos and the gang are not playing around. This is a strong action taken against click farms and other gimmicks that have had Amazon’s review / marketing features in the news for all the wrong reasons. It was starting to appear to some indie authors […]
