A Post for Pickles
You’ll have to forgive me if I don’t want to get too deep into anything today. The fact is, this is a sad home right now, and it’s been difficult to focus on work. We lost another fuzzy, four-legged member of our family last week, the old man of the…

Cosplay (Sort of?) Reveal!
With a title like that I should probably start off by saying this isn’t a big, full-blown cosplay, and I am not a big-time cosplayer. I have dabbled a bit for specific events (many, many years ago I went to Burning Man and made a few things for that, and…

April Anticipation Brought May Flowers
Back at the beginning of April, I wrote a blog post titled Writing News & April Anticipation. And now that it’s May a lot of that anticipation has paid off, so I thought it was time for a follow up! Contest & Awards Laramie Awards I won’t bury the lead,…

EdiE: Diesel-Punk PC No More, Long Live MCM Retro-Future PC
About a year ago, I shared that I was going to be building a diesel-punk PC. Life got hectic, and that project, having only just gotten started, was put on the indefinite back burner. But then my every-day PC died, and due to financial constraints, I was forced to long-term-borrow…

My Top 5 Sci-Fi Books
I have always been a child of science fiction–which is kind of odd, since neither of my parents were super into it when I was a kid. I don’t know where it came from (though I suspect it was the syndicated Star Trek I watched during the day at my…

TBR Piles: How I Choose What to Read Next
When I was a little kid, I was a massively avid reader. I would often read three books at a time: whatever I had been assigned for English, and two more for my own pleasure. I consumed books at an incredible rate, and was thus a frequent visitor of my…

The Yips: How to Break a Reading Slump
As a speculative fiction author, I believe strongly that in order to be a great writer, you must be a great reader. And not just of your preferred genre. You must read wide and often, casting your net as broadly as you can. However, despite that belief, I find myself…

My Writing Routine
I first spoke on this topic nearly a year and a half ago, and in that time, quite a bit has changed–while a lot hasn’t–so I thought I might revisit it. I’ll start by saying this isn’t actually my daily routine. I do freelance marketing writing for a living and…

What You’ll Find in My Writing
With Gas Giant Gambit out now, as well as several of my short stories, including the sci-fi/noir “The Stuff Legends are Made of” in RARE, and my followup novel Shallow Trenches/Open Skies well into its initial draft, (not to mention a larger audience as of late) perhaps it’s time to…

Writing Journey: 2025 in Review
It’s the week of Christmas, and let’s face it, one of the most chaotic times of the year–second, perhaps, only to next week, in the limbo that is the time between Christmas and the New Year. All that is to say, I very likely will be taking next week off,…
