I was surfing YouTube Tannerite videos. (Don’t ask.) In one of them, some farmers were using Tannerite to thin the local wild boar herd. That got me thinking… “Y’all keep laying with that Tannerite, you’re going to cause some messed up stuff! You better quit it!” “What the hell are you talking about? We’re taking […]

Planet Comic Con
Just got through with Planet Comic Con. Good show, lots of new and old fans. If you’re just checking in from a panel or having grabbed my business card, feel free to poke around. The tags below should let you find things fairly easily with regards to writing, promoting, and other thing of interest to […]
Long and Short Reviews Guest Blog
Continuing the Blog Tour crossposting, here is the guest blog I did over at Long and Short Reviews. A lot of this should already be known to long-time readers of the blog, but I figured I’d share for those of you just coming by during and after Planet Comic Con. Five Down and Glory I’d […]
Author Panel
Susanne Lambdin and I were panelists today at Little Apple Comic Con. I may have suggested death to a Disney Character. https://www.facebook.com/1574638242845819/videos/1636086166701026/
FB, Promo, and the Etiquette Dance
This blog was inspired by a recent column on FB and author posts. I’ll be honest–I thought the author was a little too self-reverential at times, but the basic underpinnings were sound. In this blog post I’ll amplify some of his points: Word count and editing: I don’t think this is a hard full stop […]
Warship Wednesday–Damage Control
*cough cough* Man, it’s kind of dusty in here. You’d almost think someone hasn’t been in this place for like weeks. Oh, wait… Welcome to another edition of Warship Wednesday. Today, rather than talking about a particular class of vessel, we’re going to talk about something near and dear to ship to ship fights: damage […]
Contract Law (With Special Guest Amie Gibbons)
There are certain milestones with every blog. First post. 100th post. That post that summons a scribe demon from an alternate dimension and leads to a 30 minute write off where you save humanity at the cost of truly epic carpal tunnel. Well, two out of three of those have happened on this site. […]
Write Pack Podcasts
Sorry I’ve been a little behind in posting these. Had the great fun of being ill for a bit and got behind. I did two more Write Pack Radio Podcasts that have been published. First off, “Online Writing Courses” . Second, “Recovering From A Setback.” Go ahead and give them a listen if you’re so inclined. […]
Not able to offer Pre-Order
So the great thing about the Con circuit is you meet some amazing authors. A.D. Trosper is a fantasy writer who is out of southern Kansas, and I share this as a cautionary tale for folks looking for external companies. Bottom line: Contracts, contracts, contracts, written in such a manner that if someone ends up […]
News! Snippets!
Just a quick post–Collisions of the Damned is in the final stages of post-production as an audiobook. Hopefully it will be available by Black Friday, with the collection On Seas So Crimson being shortly behind. If you know someone who would enjoy alternate history but may either have difficult finding the time to sit down with […]
