Hello there loyal readers. I am quite sorry that this is the first time in… well, since you probably started reading that I haven’t had at least a blog a day up during weekdays, and that I’ve left you hanging for two straight days. That’s not very nice of me! I mentioned my LibertyCon schedule […]

LibertyCon Schedule – June 30th, Chattanooga TN!
I’ll be going to libertycon this weekend, and I’ll be in Nashville a couple of days before that to go see the Charlie Daniels Band and watch the Nashville Sounds play baseball. I actually have a pretty packed schedule but I’ll do my best to make time for everyone. At libertycon: Day Time Name […]
Social Media Strategy: Crowd Source Fun Things!
Something I do that’s different that I don’t see a lot of other authors do is crowd sourcing. “How do you crowd source books?” one might ask. I actually do it fairly regularly. I give my readers voices in what blogs they want to see and what I’ll write about if I have multiple ideas, […]
Psalm 40
Many of you probably don’t know it, but it’s been a rather hard week for me. I don’t say much about things like that, because I am a firm believer that mindset, energy, pushing toward goals are the way to overcome things. There’s also trusting in God. Instead of reading the news every morning, I’ve […]
#SteampunkMonth Review: The Guns Above by Robyn Bennis
The Guns Above by Robyn Bennis is a Steampunk war story about a woman who, by luck and her willingness to fight, becomes an airship captain. She is set up by the general, with his nephew Bernat being sent aboard to report on her and provide evidence she’s incompetent. After the opening battle, the first […]
Speaking Out Against The Disavow and Disassociate Game
I’ve dealt with this game for a long time on a personal level, and see it going on elsewhere on a regular basis. Back in 2015, I wasn’t all that well known in the science fiction community. I had my group of friends locally, and was on the periphary of Anne McCaffrey’s sorta crew (who […]
#Steampunk Month Retro Anime Review: Steamboy
The first comment my wife made for this movie was during the opening crawl, where she said “why is it that all these take place in Manchester, 1866.” Too true. Then again, she watches primarily BBC historical dramas, which all seem to take place in such a setting. This took a different take. I watched […]
Chirs Kennedy’s Asbaran Solutions on Audio!
Really not posting this for any other reason other than I’m excited to listen to this. I loved Book 1 in this universe, written by Mark Wandrey, and since I did that on audio, I like to follow the stories in the same format. This just came out, and I’m super pumped to listen. My […]
Writing Blog – On Character Voice and Perspective
I know I said I wasn’t going to write a blog today, but I just got the best compliment probably I’ve ever received. I was told by a reader that For Steam And Country in terms of prose, writing, tone looked NOTHING like Star Realms: Rescue Run. The reader couldn’t believe it was written by […]
Great Book Launch!
Thanks again to everyone who bought For Steam And Country. Please remember to review on Amazon and Goodreads — it’s most important to have reviews when people are looking at it, like now. Write to what you know, edit it later. It’s a promotional tool, that’s all reviews are for, don’t have to overthink it. […]
