A couple days ago, I found myself reading Martin Shoemaker’s blog, wherein he discussed what he’s learned over the past few years. I got to thinking about that question. I’ve been doing this for … well … a long while, now. My bibliography says I was first published in October of 1994. You can do […]
Read More ...“The Colossal Death Ray” hits Galaxy’s Edge.
Very happy to note that my story “The Colossal Death Ray” is the lead story in this issue of Galaxy’s Edge. This story is actually a bit of a favorite of mine because it came to me in what was essentially a single sitting (with another pass or two rub out some raw edges here […]
Read More ...Leadership, and the need to “prove yourself”
As we often do while we walk together, Lisa and I were recently talking about the framework that work happens in under in the corporate environment.

Read More ...A day in the Northern Guard
Advance Notice This is a very long post about my day with the Northern Guard—a supporter group associated with the Detroit City Football Club. Given the general tone of my blog and the readers I generally attract, I feel the need to tell you that, while it is certainly possible to write a post about […]
Read More ...5 Days, finally a NookBook

Read More ...Clarke’s Data, Part II
A few days ago, Neil Clarke released demographic information from a survey he took (which I then used to create this little discussion, along with a few comments). He’s now released the first wave of results. It’s interesting to see what he’s doing–I’m especially intrigued by the break-out of authors’ influences. You should look at […]
Read More ...Epic Fantasy Bundle – Power to the Readers
So, the Epic Fantasy Bundle that Glamour of the God-Touched has been included in has been active for a couple days. It’s the first time that I’ve been involved in this kind of bundle, and I think the process is interesting as all get-out and a total blast to be a part of. Since I […]

This is a really cool approach, and is available for only a limited time (22 days at this writing!). Check it out. The bundle […]
Read More ...Neil Clarke’s SF/F writer demographics
I am one of the 944 writers who voluntarily participated in a survey Neil Clarke (editor of Clarkesworld) is in the process of taking. He won’t release the full information for another week or so (which I can’t wait to see), but a few days back he gave some demographic numbers. These are spare bits, […]
