“You must have really thick skin.” That was a comment from a friend of mine recently. He was talking about one review in particular that has been posted against Glamour of the God-Touched. Before I go too far here, let me state a thing or two. First, I’m quite pleased with the response to this […]

The time, you know, it flies. I’m happy to announce that Trail of the Torean, volume 2 of my fantasy series, is now available for full download. The reaction to the first volume was really quite brilliant, and I’m excited to see where Trail might take us. Thank you so much for all your support. […]
Read More ...Entering the Home Stretch
This morning I proofed the first half of Lord of the Freeborn, which is the seventh book of the series that I might have mentioned around here a time or two. Hopefully, I’ll finish that today. Then tomorrow will be spent proofing Lords of Existence, which is the eighth and final book in the series […]
Read More ...Cover Reveal #3!
You may have heard rumors that I’m in the middle of publishing a fantasy serial in eight parts. [grin] This is turning out to be quite a fun experience–and one of the most fun parts is working with Rachel Carpenter, who is doing all the covers. She’s created really fantastic work for both Glamour of […]
Read More ...Hard Work & Opportunity
As with most everything I have to say about art and writing, this is a long and meandering piece. I think it means something though. I think it gets somewhere. We shall see. I am going to use pretentious words like “art” and “artist” and other such muck-a-muck. If you are one of those TLDR […]

Their kickstarter has funded, and the project is a full-go. Congrats to them. I’m really happy to be a part […]

Read More ...Trail of the Torean – Cover Reveal!
Meanwhile, back at the ranch … I’m happy to say that the pre-order numbers for Glamour of the God-Touched have been interesting enough to put the book on the Amazon Top 100 list for short SF & Fantasy Reads for all of yesterday (at 64 pages, it barely qualifies … but I’ll take it)! I […]
Read More ...Cultural snobbery and the genres
As synchronicity would have it, I ran into two different bits today that have to do with cultural snobbery and the genres. The first is a blog entry by Mike Dunn, who is an aspiring writer who was literally chased from his love of Analog by the culture of friends he hung around. The second […]
Read More ...The Writer as Artist
“I’ve never thought of writing as being artistic.” I’m paraphrasing a little, but that was a friend of mine said during a conversation we were having a couple weeks ago. He’s a moderately new writer, meaning he’s been working on it for a while, but still has tons o’ questions and tons o’ worries and […]
