The next Diving novel takes us back a little bit in time, because I needed to learn a bit about the various cultures I was writing about. So Ivory Trees looks at some shenanigans in the Empire as well as explains some things that were deliberately left blank in the regular Diving novels. Before you Diving fans ask, yes, I’m getting to Boss & Coop. […]
Business Musings: Applying Niche Marketing (Niche Marketing Part 6)
For a free audio version of this post, click here. My plan all along for this series was to take a few projects of mine and use them as examples of ways to apply niche marketing thinking to books. It took me a while to get here. If you want to see some real world examples, take a look at the previous post. If you’re […]
Awards, Stories, and a Cool Italian Cover
First, some really exciting news! The Courtmartial of the Renegat Renegades is a finalist for the Asimov’s Readers Choice Awards in the novella category, and “Rocket Girls,” is up for best novelette! I’m really thrilled. (And super thrilled about Rocket Girls, since it’s a personal favorite). The other writers in my category are amazing, from Rick Wilber, Sean Monaghan, and Nick Wolven in the novella […]
Be Among The First To Read The Newest Diving Novel
Just a quick note to let you know that the full novel of The Court Martial of the Renegat Renegades has appeared in Asimov’s. The second half dropped this week in the November/December issue, which you can get now. The novel started as a piece that I had to leave out of The Renegat. I wondered what happened to the crew that returned to the […]

Recommended Reading List: November 2020
For years now, I’ve kept up the reading list throughout the month, but that proved impossible in November. So I’m writing this introduction—heck, the whole list—on November 30, because I had zero time to do it otherwise. I did manage to get a lot of reading in, more than I expected given the fact that Dean and I were glued (almost literally) to the TV […]

The novella “Joyride,” which was first published in the November/December 2018 issue of Asimov’s, follows brilliant recruit Nadim Crowe as he leads a team of fellow students from the Fleet on a dare: they race see who can […]
Good Diving News
I finally got word from Audible that the audio version of the long and mighty Renegat, the next book in the Diving series, has gone into production. Jennifer Van Dyck will be reading the book, which is good news, since she’s done most of the series. I’m told Audible will have the audio version done in time for the September 17 release date for The […]
