Coming Attractions
Conventions in a Time of COVID
Just popping in here briefly to inform everyone of another postponement. Soonercon, originally scheduled for June, is now postponing to June 25-27, 2021. As I’ve been doing to help ease the pain for most conventions, I’ve merely asked to have my vendor space passed forward to 2021. I figure it’s the least I can do. […]
Warship Wednesday–Carrier Doctrine #1
Interesting thing I discovered about carrier doctrine in writing the Usurper’s War series in general, but definitely with regards to Against the Tide Imperial: The three main carrier navies in our timeline did things very, very differently. The USN basically went all in on “every carrier throws a haymaker.” This was shown both in early task […]
Now It Can Be Told
So for about two months now, I’ve been having to sit on the line up for Trouble In The Wind. Behold, the magnificence of the headliners… If someone had told me when this whole indie thing got started, “Hey, you know someday you’re going to be editing an alternate history anthology with S.M. Stirling in it?”, […]

Music Monday: A Classic Gets the Epic Treatment and Some News
It’s the third Monday, and you know what that means–SCORE DAY! A big trend in trailer music lately has been to update classic, recognizable songs and give them the “Epic” treatment (i.e., soaring instrumentals and drum tracks). If you can hear the “Trailer Voice” guy narrating your book trailer to one of these songs, that’s […]
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.
Book Signing!
Greetings all! I’ll be at a special event next Saturday, 18 May! If you missed me at Planet and want to get a signed hard copy of Those In Peril or any of my novels, come on by! There will be several other KC local authors there as well, so it should be a good time […]

Some News…and Joining the 400 Club
So I’ve just gone over 400 audiobook sales. While I’m sure there are some folks who pull this off in an afternoon, I’m super stoked at this milestone. Next month I’ll be running a couple of promos, plus a promotion service just let me know they’re getting ready to start an audiobook-specific email list. So, […]
