The Stars Entwined, my military sci-fi/space opera epic, is finally done and ready, and we have a March 20th release date through Superversive Press. I’m loving how this turned out, and early readers are saying it’s my best work so far. If you missed the mailing list giveaway and reveal yesterday make sure you sign up. I […]
Evil Girlfriend Media Shutting Its Doors
It saddens me today to receive notice that EGM is shutting its doors and closing down. I wish there had been a little more notice but the kindle version is already gone. Jennifer Brozek, my former editor, was the chief editor there. All of their books will be gone from their stores soon, including, sadly, […]
Making Peace by Adam Lane Smith
Making Peace is a new book out by a debut sci-fi and fantasy author today worth checking out. Adam has incredible talent with voice and character, and this reads like a book by someone who’s a veteran writer. You’ll note I already gave a blurb about the pacing and action. I read this over the […]
Friends Friday: Devastator by Jason Cordova
Last week I announced I’d be doing guest blogs every Friday to highlight some other authors in the field. With the craziness of the last week, a broken link to the email I was supposed to have those sent to (whoops! sorry anyone who tried to submit), I haven’t had time to coordinate with anyone. […]
Book Blast: Damnation’s Robot by Aaron Crash
Damnation Robot Part of being where I’m at now is getting messages of some very cool fiction that’s coming down the pipeline. Damnation Robot is one of those. I don’t think I ever would have discovered Aaron Crash without someone bringing him to my attention, and I would have missed out! This isn’t someone I […]
The Super Hype Jon Del Arroz Book Of The Year
I read a lot of great books this year. It makes it exceedingly hard for me to choose one or even do a top five like I am prone to doing. Of course, then it’d be just as easy to name one of my own books as book of the year, I mean I am […]
Books For Success
A lot of people ask me about my strategies, tactics, marketing and just general life advice these days. I don’t really read direct “marketing” or “social media strategy” books. Most of those have platitudes that don’t look at general larger scopes or battles. I tend to want to take a global perspective of things rather […]
Brian Niemeier’s The Ophian Rising Is Out Today!
Brian is an amazing author, a Dragon Award winner for his Soul Cycle series. His 4th book in the series is out today. I’m also promoting his book on my mailing list here shortly, in which you can get a free novella from me when the post goes out in a bit! Synopsis of Brian’s […]
Cirsova 2018 Kickstarter Is Live
If you’ve been around a bit, you’ve probably seen me gush about Cirsova Magazine. I probably shouldn’t say it’s my favorite short fiction magazine, as StoryHack and Astounding Frontiers actually bought stories from me… but let’s just say it’s one of my top three :). Regardless, when a new Cirsova issue comes out, I read it immediately […]
Black Friday – Cyber Monday Sale!
The Lasers Dragons And Keyboards Podcast (great book podcast run by great people) coordinated several authors for a four-day sale. Superversive Press is joining in on this, and added my books For Steam And Country and Gravity Of The Game to the list. If you haven’t checked them out, now’s a great time. If you […]
The Awful Truth About Forgetting
Yeah I may have clikcbaited you a little bit with the title. But it worked. You’re reading. I’m not going to do a blog about forgetting (of which I really do have a terrible long-term memory), but about a book titled The Awful Truth About Forgetting. I mentioned it briefly in the links in the […]
Happy #MAGADay!
One year ago we s tarted winning again. Is it any wonder my debut novel came out the asme week the God-Emperor fulfilled his prophecy to ascend to the Cherry Blossom thrown? Well on the one year anniversary of all the hard work we put into our memes, which became reality to Make America Great […]
Still Not Tired Part 2: FREE Novella Giveaway!
Despite a concerted high school-style effort to get people to shun me by the Mean Girls club, I hit 1,500 followers of Twitter today. I like round numbers, so I’m going to celebrate by giving away a free advance copy of my forthcoming novella, Gravity Of The Game! Made it! Thank you everyone for following […]
#Steampunk Month Guest Post: Author J.M. Anjewierden
This marks the first time I’ve ever had a guest post on my blog. Not sure how often I’ll do it but I saw that J.M. here had a really awesome Steampunk novel released this week, and invited him to come talk about his release a little bit. The book is Penny Dreadful and the […]
A Moon Full Of Stars by Jon Mollison!
There’s another Jon out there in SF who’s very much worth your while, and his name is Jon Mollison. He writes in the vein of the old school pulps like very few I’ve seen. If you’re into hard action/adventure in your sci-fi, this work’s for you. Fun fact: he’s also an audiobook narrator, most recently […]
And The Award Goes To…
…a few books I read this last month! If you thought I was going to talk about a bunch of people in LA giving accolades to themselves, sorry not sorry. I don’t care about that. What I am doing is launching a concept in which others have done many times in the past, and […]
