Available in Print or EBook! Available at $.99 For a Limited Time Only! It’s that time again! I’m really pleased to note that the third and final volume of my Collins Creek collections has now been published. This is a project I’ve been planning for some time, and to see it come to fruition is […]

Available in Print or EBook! Available at $.99 For a Limited Time Only! If you’ve been following this little nook of the web, you know I’ve been working on a special project of the heart that I’m calling Collins Creek, and consists of three volumes of stories that all have ties to the Fiction River […]

So a bit back I dropped a note to say I was embarking into the great unknown of a Double Dare—writing two books in one month. Or at least two full first drafts in a month. (Aside: one of the things I like best about being a writer is that, in general, you don’t have […]

It’s a bit of a sad day around the Typosphere. My favorite sleeping shirt has, alas, seen its last sleep. The shirt in question is a standard white T-shirt with a cartoonish image of cats done in cubist style. I want to say Lisa got it for me at an art fair or something, but […]

In the past I have occasionally said that I think science fiction is the most human of all genres. For me this is because pretty much every SF story had at its core “what it means to be human.” I probably stretch that a bit. I suppose an aficionado of any genre could make the […]

The “Relaxa” part of that was that instead of a […]

So, yeah. I finished draft one of the STARDUST today. And I like it. Yay me! Technically I also finished about 25% of the final pass—but mostly because I’ve already done a second pass of the first 70% of the book, give or take, which I’ve documented elsewhere. I’d guess the full second pass will […]

I can’t begin to tell you how insane the past week has been. I mean. Insane with a capital Insane level of insane. All of it good, though. Which is a pleasant change of pace. I’ll talk about only one element right now, and that is that as a result of a well-supported Book Bub […]

I’m still going today, but I’m at a break point, so here we are. A couple days ago marked my 125th straight day of hitting writing targets. Or my 121st if you want to get technical, seeing as I took four days off of creating words in order to instead work on an intense planning […]
