    Ok, I’m back. No, it’s not actually news blather, but you will have noticed I share at least three other blogs on fb besides my own, and this is why: fb doesn’t like people. Well, ok, let me rephrase that. They like money more than helping people. As soon as I see another way to…

    Eric S Raymond nails a list of symptoms to look for as warnings signs that a book may be unreadable… 1. Evinces desire to be considered “serious artist”. 2. Idea content is absent or limited to politicized social criticism. 3. Heroism does not occur except as anti-heroic mockery. 4. All major characters are psychologically damaged.…

    In the excitement of launching The God’s Wolfling this weekend, I haven’t really given Stargazer its due. This is a short story in a world I keep meaning to revisit. Perhaps when I have a little more time… but it is free through tomorrow. Please, take one, and pass the word. This is a vital…

    First, I have a post up at Mad Genius Club on new books, how they are like infections, and Ebola. Secondly, Ben Hartley gave me a very nice review on The God’s Wolfling over on Amazon, and infected me with an idea. Sir, I can’t decide if you get a thank you, or a muted…

    It’s book launch day, but really, the reason I don’t have an official review is that I haven’t had the time to read much of anything. I started a book, but it’s not an easy read, so you might get that one next week and you might not. In the mean time… You can buy…

    I’m looking to create a list of people who contribute to the conversations on the internet about books, writing, and publishing in a nurturing and vital manner. Living, active, positive people who are the voices we listen to when it comes to books. Need not be authors or publishers themselves, vocal readers should have a…

    Robert Hoyt (a budding young author and webcomic artist) made this comment on the bookface yesterday. “This has always bothered me: If the standard for when a student has completed his training is when he has bested his master, and you’ve picked for your mentor the classic “extremely old man” archetype, what do you do…
