  • Urgent Need for Three Shop Beta-Testers

    I have a surprise debuting on Nov. 19th in the shop. In order to do this debut, Margaret and I have to upgrade to the new shop software, because buyers need to be able to find and download multiple files from the same purchase. I need three shop beta-testers who can commit two hours a…

  • HAWKSPAR copyedit done

    Done, done, and done the way I meant the book to be. My editor should have that massive stack of pages in her hands tomorrow. I’m relieved, exhausted, and just a little bit jubilant. The whole book is there. In June of next year, it’ll be on shelves. Probably for about fifteen minutes, as was…

  • Damn. This is awesome.

    In my ongoing campaign to assure you that the sky is indeed falling*, the end of the world is nigh, and dogs and cats will soon be living together while glaciers devour your back yard as your house floats out to sea in the Alaskan tropics during this Worst Year Ever For Hurricanes, I bring…

  • Friday Snippets: From the Ghost Files

    I’m at a point where I really can’t post any more of the Moonroads book, at least not for a while. But I still want to do Friday Snippets. So I figured for your amusement and edification, I’d post snippets from the stuff I’ve had rejected but that I still intend to keep trying to…

  • HAWKSPAR

    I’m doing the copyedit of HAWKSPAR right now. This time, everything is still there. It’s a much more pleasant experience than going through your manuscript and discovering your editor removed your second protagonist, lemme tell you. Have to have the manuscript back by November 1st, and it’s a big, big book, so I’m going to…

  • The Coupon Has Been Fixed

    If you tried to use your coupon earlier and it didn’t work, you can go ahead and order now. It’s fixed. I apologize. I thoroughly tested the thing before I took it live; I don’t know what I managed to screw up afterward. Download as PDFPrint Page

  • “How To Write A Novel” Live Online Seminar

    I’ve been invisible since Friday because I’ve been working myself to exhaustion putting together something I think is really cool. You folks have been hanging in here with me for a long time, some of you since I started my career. You get first go at this. After this one time, anything I do like…

  • Never reached the silver door

    Finished up with 2077 words for the morning. Got into the characters’ heads a bit better than I’d expected, and as a result, we spent those words with the scary paper, and never made it to the silver door. So I get to look forward to that tomorrow morning. Good, good writing morning. Download as…

  • Cliffhanging

    Scorponok from the album Transformers: The Score by Steve Jablonsky I could just loop this piece to write to. It has incredible energy. Words are going really well so far. Haven’t got to the newspaper yet. The other stuff is unfolding too well. Download as PDFPrint Page
