    Repost: Chaplain’s War

    To my dismay, I discovered when a reader brought it to my attention that this was one of the posts that fell into the ‘blog hole’ when I switched browsers. It’s definitely a book worth reading, so again, I commend it to your attention…  I have been working on this book since… longer than I…

  • A Fear Factor

    A Fear Factor

    I am amazed any new people dare attempt to break in at all. I mean, it seemed bad when I was trying to break in, but it’s extra-bad now. Don’t say the wrong thing. Don’t anger the wrong people. Don’t publish with the wrong publishers. Don’t question the bullshit that stinks right in front of…

    Reading at the Table

    Today’s Eat This While You Read That is up at Otherwhere Gazette. I made Brad Torgerson’s old family recipe and added a new one of my own to accompany it. I recommend Racers of the Night to read with this meal!

  • Reporting In

    I’m at a con this weekend, which means I’m not going to double-blog with Mad Genius Club this morning. You can find out more about my ongoing adventures over there. I’ve been happily snapping pictures, put up some from day two on that post. Below are a few from the first day. Today I will…

  • Review: Chaplain’s War

    I have been working on this book since… longer than I care to think about. And it’s a good book. So what took me so long? Well, I bought it in paper. Yeah, I know, most people buy books in paper, what gives? Long story short – and I think I’ve told the long story…

  • Not a Review

    This isn’t a review, per se, because I haven’t been reading the ‘right’ books recently. Not the ones I would normally review for my readers. If you’re wondering what that means, it means I haven’t had the time to give full mental capacity to the books I need to review, and I was sick yesterday,…

  • 18 Influential Voices in Literature on the Internet

    Someone put together a list of the 35 Writers who Run the Internet that had a bunch of us scratching our heads in puzzlement. We’d collectively heard of two or three of them, and most of us are very well read online, keeping up with the changes in the industry. So I challenged several disparate…

  • Hugohaha

    That’s what you get when you portmanteau Hugos and brouhaha. We could also go with tempest in a teacup, which might yield Hucup, or… But I’ll stop there. I think I have made my point. Here’s the thing. I’m willing to bet guess (I don’t gamble) that most of the readers of this blog know…

  • Last Minute for Hugo Noms

    Last Minute for Hugo Noms

    It’s supposed to be a review Friday, and in a way, it is. Here’s my one-sentence plug: Larry Correia’s Warbound is superbly crafted, great story, with characters who will surprise, thrill, and keep you reading to find out what happens next. Go find a copy, but start with Hard Magic if you haven’t read the…
