Book Review: The Stardust Grail
Warning: Here there be SPOILERS! It’s been a minute since I’ve done a book review on my blog, and I just happened to finish The Stardust Grail by Yume Kitasei over the weekend, so why not! I’ll start by saying I had not heard of Kitasei’s first novel The Deep Sky, nor had I heard…

Gas Giant Gambit Deal Announcement!
It’s official and I can talk about it! Gas Giant Gambit has been picked up by the indie press Alex Parker Publishing! This is the same publishing company that accepted my very first published short story (a horror titled “SSID” which can be found and read for free on their website, here), and accepted my…

Writing Updates
As you may or may not have noticed, I failed to post a blog last week, and I am a bit more than a day late this week. There is a very good reason for that. But before we get to that, since it’s the beginning of a new month, and there’s been a lot…

Publishing News: Gas Giant Gambit
This week’s blog is going to be short because I have BIG BIG news, but very few actual details I can share! I have signed a book contract with an independent publishing company for Gas Giant Gambit: A Tale From Beyond the Cygnus Rift! Unfortunately, I’ve been asked to keep this as vague as that…

Perseverance: What it Takes to Make it
This week I’m tackling a subject that, by all rights, I probably shouldn’t be. I mean, to be frank and fair, I have not “made it” in any real sense of the word yet. For those keeping score, I have had one short story published, another accepted into an anthology that will not be releasing…

Prose Writing vs Screenwriting: What’s the Difference?

My Writing Space
Welcome! This week I thought I’d draw from the well of “blog topics for authors” lists found in Google, and write a topic I’ve been wanting to use: “Share a picture of your writing space and talk about some unique or special things you have within that space.” My office is still a work-in-progress of…

Post-Comic Con Photo Dump
Well, I’m back from Comic Con, and what a trip is was! We crossed a lot off our Comic Con Bingo Card, from ignoring the obnoxious street preacher, to supporting indie comic creators, getting asked to pose for a cosplay photo, forgetting to eat, attending some awesome panels, and not making it into Hall H,…

Pre-Comic Con Prep!
I’m keeping things short this week, because in 48 hours from writing this, we will be in San Diego and there is still a lot to do! But, to give you at least a little something this week, here are the odds and ends to my impromptu Alien cosplay! Basically all the credit for the…

Space-Western
A few months ago, I wrote a blog about cosmic horror. I defined it, talked about the differences it has with sci-fi horror, and even talked a bit about the genres racist progenitor, H.P. Lovecraft. And now, as I wait to hear back from a publisher in regard to the full manuscript request they made…
