This was a tough decision to make. I’ve pulled both Hunting the Corrigan’s Blood and Warpaint from circulation. They will be back… But not until I know I’m going to put them in front of the readers who will love them. I’m going to have to get (or make) new covers for both books, completely redo keywords and blurbs, change … Continue reading →
Biopunk. Biopunk? BIOPUNK! Real genre, I write it, I have been writing it since the late nineties… <le sigh> So how exactly did I miss this? How did I not realize this was a thing that those of us who love science and genetics and SF and fantasy were writing? That would be the Epic Fail. Thanks, guys. You are … Continue reading →
Today, a blast from the past who yesterday showed up for this party uninvited today became a major part of the story. Tangerine was a one-scene character in Hunting the Corrigan’s Blood. He was in that story to change Cady’s appearance when she was in trouble but did not yet know exactly how much trouble she was in. The rule of … Continue reading →
Becky did a gorgeous job. The book with the new cover is already showing up in a couple places, but I’ll do a check and links tomorrow, along with the cover reveal. This is just because it took me all day to get the book done and published. … Continue reading →
I think in general we as human beings like to think we’re on top of things. That we have a pretty good bead on not just where we are, but where we’ve been, and where we’re going. I’m working on Lesson 16 of How to Write a Novel this morning, which is about voice and tone, and to show writers … Continue reading →
The main character of my current novel series, Cadence Drake, was a genetically engineered child. One mother, three fathers, and some slicing and dicing of her chromosomes to give her the exact characteristics her mother wanted for her: From my mother I have my coffee-with-a- touch-of-cream skin and full lips and straight teeth. From one of my fathers I have … Continue reading →

Yes, I’m a geek. Using Minecraft, I built life-sized walkthrough models of the spaceships I write about in Hunting the Corrigan’s Blood and Warpaint from the schematics I drew. I did it to keep myself from making stupid location mistakes in the stories. (And let’s be real…it was fun. And when I was a kid, I used to pray to … Continue reading →
Tuesday night, HUNTING THE CORRIGAN’S BLOOD hit #8 in Books/SF/Space Opera on Amazon.com. The book was hovered around the top ten all day yesterday, and is #20 right now. I want to thanks the folks who bought the book, who recommended it, who wrote reviews. With Cady having a good kickoff, it makes my chances of finding a readership for … Continue reading →
