I had two major challenges in 2021. The first was the stupid pandemic. I hadn’t realized how much of my brain it consumed. Even after I wrote the blog called “Focus,” I still wasn’t back 100%. At some point in early 2022, I clicked over to this: Covid will be ever with us, and I needed to put the fear and the hypervigilance in its […]
Updates On Projects and Sales
Just signed a contract for the new Diving novel. It’ll be serialized in Asimov’s some time next year. The novel is called The Courtmartial of The Renegat Renegades. Yep, more Renegat stories. And to think that should’ve been a novella. Whoops. We’ll put it out through WMG later in 2023. And maybe a few other Diving things as well. Yes, I’m being mysterious. I’ve been […]
The First Fey Book in 20 Years!
It’s the novella that we Kickstarted last year about this time. I finished it, and about 250,000 words of new fiction in the world of the Fey. The excess words are becoming books as we speak, but the novella is done! You can get your copy here. Thanks to all the readers who supported the Kickstarter and the fans who’ve let me know that they […]
Business Musings: Buried (A Process Blog)
I am deliciously buried in work, and it is my own damn fault. I decided in the spring that I would take two classes per semester, because I need to think about things other than writing to help my writing. Otherwise, I get too lost in writing/publishing/reading to be fresh and creative. Trust me, the two classes are working for me. Spanish inspires me to […]
Fun Stuff…With Deadlines
So much to tell you about that I won’t get to all of it. First, though, all of the Colliding Worlds books are out! Six science fiction collections, featuring 20 short stories in each book. Ten of the stories are from me and ten are by Dean. We had a blast putting these together. The books were the subject of a successful Kickstarter earlier this […]
One Day Deals, Storybundle, and a Maelstrom
We’re down to 24 or so hours on the Return of The Fey Kickstarter. I asked the Fey readers to give me a kick in the butt, by joining the Kickstarter to give me a real deadline on a new Fey novella. Usually I try to have work done before I do a Kickstarter, but in this case, I needed a real kick start. It […]
Lessons From The Writing Of The Fey—Introduction
Author’s Note: We’re running a Kickstarter right now that will give me some deadlines on starting a new Fey project. There’s a four-part book/video/class for readers and writers that goes with that Kickstarter, all non-fiction, all about writing the Fey. I’ve explained in greater depth below. Part of that project is this: I’m going to post the chapters of Lessons From The Writing of The […]
Business Musings: Surprises in the New World of Publishing
You’d think, after all these years, nothing about the changes in publishing could surprise me. And really, what happened this week didn’t surprise me as much as it surprised me because it happened to me. And it caused me to think of some things I hadn’t considered at all. As many of you know, I’ve been writing these posts about four weeks ahead. This one […]
Give Me A Deadline!
I don’t usually ask my readers to help me finish something, but I need to move The Fey up the priority list. I keep promising to finish it, but getting up to speed has been the barrier. The only way I could encourage myself to do the review was with a deadline. I tried to set my own deadline, but that didn’t work. Other things, […]
