I can’t believe how excited I am to report that Brigid, my gifted and magnificent daughter, has released her first book! It’s a YA/Fantasy with SF undertones, titled Singer, and I can say with only the barest of parental bias that it’s a danged good read. You can get it in pretty much any e-format […]

You Go, Vera!
I’m happy to note that my friend Vera Nazarian’s Kickstarter project “Cobweb Bride” is available early. You can get it in multiple formats here. As a backer, I’ve already picked up my copy, of course. And it’s next on my TBR pile.

Terribly excited to see that Vera Nazarian’s Cobweb Bride project is nearing release. Vera’s work is always interesting. As a backer, I also got to pick out a second work. I am so lucky!

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway opened for practice yesterday, and that can mean only one thing! Yes! Launch day is finally here! John C. Bodin and I are pleased to announce that we’ve made a short anthology of our Indy 500 collaborations available in e-formats. You can find it in these places: Kindle Format All other […]
Read More ...Me and My First World Problems
Work (among other things) is kicking my tail this week. That’s what happens when you have two full days of off-site training, I guess. It’s all good, though. I guess. I also went to a local writer’s group session, wherein I passed back a read of Bill Johnson’s next novel. His first, Earth 2.0: Prison […]

John Bodin and I are, once again, committing collaboration on another piece inspired by the Indy 500. These are great fun to write. First, I think John’s a great idea guy, and so that’s just fun to be around. Second, writing about the 500 reminds me of my grandfather, who made his living running a […]

I’ve spent the last couple mornings working to restructure episodes 6 and 7 into a short story and a short novella (perhaps even dropping it into novelette territory–though we will see). It was a bit difficult to concentrate to concentrate this morning, though. First, I woke up considerably later this morning than normal (the cat […]

I grabbed this list of Joss Whedon’s writing tips from another place–someone’s twitter or Facebook page–a day or three ago, and thought it was great (of course). Then I followed the link at its bottom to these tips from Neil Gaiman, which are equally full of tremendous, but even more so. The reason I say […]

It was a big basketball weekend, of course. My Cardinals of Louisville are riding high, and seem to be a reasonable favorite to win it all. Lots of good teams out there, though, far too much competition left to get particularly cocky. # Myke Cole, a writing acquaintance of mine who I recently met in […]
