For the second time in my career, I’m honored to have a full novel in Asimov’s SF Magazine. This novel, The Court Martial of the Renegat Renegades, won’t be published as a standalone until June of 2023. However, you can read it in Asimov’s in two parts. The first part has just appeared, and you can read an excerpt here. I’m so excited about this […]
Business Musings: The Final Brandon Sanderson Post
Well, Brandon Sanderson’s Kickstarter is one for the record books. It became the highest grossing Kickstarter about a month before his Kickstarter closed. And then it continued to make money, finally ending at $41.7 million. Brandon himself estimates that when this is all said and done, and every one of 185,341 backers have received their books and swag, he will get roughly a high-end novel […]
Saving The World and Historical Mysteries, and A Plethora of Writing Tips
I love having an excuse to use the word “plethora.” And really, I need it here. I’ve been busy with the Business Master Class, then trying to catch up on a lot of work, not to mention a bit of exhaustion from the schedule. (Yes, you Writing With Chronic Illness readers, you know what I’m talking about.) So, with all of that, I’ve been remiss […]
A New Nonfiction Book, A Bundle, and It’s Almost Time To Ask Me Anything
WMG Publishing just published the Writing With Chronic Illness book that I wrote earlier this year. I excerpted sections on my blog…or rather, I wrote sections in public on my blog. A number of you said you wanted to know when the book appeared. It has now. And…you can get it as part of the annual Spring Writing Storybundle. So rather than pay full price, […]
The Perfect Mix
I love detective fiction. I love fantasy fiction. And I looooove it when they combine to form their own off-beat genre. Which is why I’m so happy to be part of the Fantasy Detectives Storybundle. Dean Wesley Smith assembled the bundle using our Fiction River edition, Fantastic Detectives, as his template. The anthology is in this bundle. I happen to love that edition of Fiction […]
Some Writing Goodies
Writing has a pattern, particularly in the fall, particularly if you’re still new to writing. November is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), in which writers try to finish a first draft of a novel. Then the holidays hit, and the writing goes away for 31 days. January rolls around, and writers make resolutions to write even more, maybe publish some of it, and get really […]
A New Edition of FantasyLife And A Cool Way To Get It
Allyson Longueira of WMG Publishing finally talked me into doing the Author Preferred Edition of FantasyLife that I have been threatening to do for some years now. The edition is an omnibus, which also has three short stories related to the novel and an introduction to the book itself. I’ve been having a heck of a time getting the English language rights reverted by Simon […]
The Month of News Begins With Deals And Other Fun Things
As those of you who support me on Patreon already know, my September will be busy, busy, busy when it comes to publications and promotions. (By the way, there are three Business Musings posts there that have not yet been on this site. I’m getting ahead, finally!) Today’s news involves a Storybundle. The great thing about Storybundles is that they provide a deal to the […]
Writers And Snot-Nosed Aliens, Among Other Things
I mentioned a few posts back that I would have a lot of news this fall. And I do. It stuns me. First, let me thank all the people who have supported the Pulphouse Kickstarter so far. As I write this, we’ve hit two of our stretch goals and are halfway to the third. The first stretch goal guaranteed an extra electronic issue of the […]
An Eclipse, Thrills, and a Touch of the Fantastic
I don’t know about all of you, but I’m getting a lot of reading done this summer. I suspect I might get even more done on August 21, since my hometown, Lincoln City, Oregon, is the first place the eclipse makes landfall, the experts predict we’ll have internet outages, power outages, and cell phone outages because of all the visitors taxing systems not meant to […]
