  • Cover Reveal!

    Cover Reveal!

    I plan to publish this one during the first week of August, but this is what the cover will likely look like. Feel free to drop your thoughts in the comments, I always appreciate feedback. Detective Amaya Lombard is a witch hunter and a damn good one. Hated by the magical because she works with…

  • Books to Avoid: Cranky Book Reviews

    Books to Avoid: Cranky Book Reviews

    I must confess, I have been a somewhat cranky reader recently. Here’s the thing: I hear complaints about the quality of books available in KU all the time. Having my own in that pool makes me wince a little when I see those criticisms. But…   It’s all true. You know what else is true?…

  • Just Keep Writing, Writing, Writing

    Just Keep Writing, Writing, Writing

    So the power is back on. But more important, since that was an upleasant couple of days I really don’t want to relive now (I’ll come back to it later with a post on big business and customer service), I’ve been writing. I have completed Snow in Her Eyes, which came in at 17K words.…

  • Nerves, Remakeries, and a Very Cold Case

    Nerves, Remakeries, and a Very Cold Case

    This is a link round-up of articles I ran across that look interesting. The first one is actually related to why I do link round-ups… and it’s not just because I’m too tired to think straight by the time I get home at night! Derek Lowe’s column is one of my daily reads, but I…

    Free Ebook!

    I’m making Twisted Mindflow, a collection of 17 short stories, flash, and oddballs, available for free download. Whether you’re a fan and interested in the evolution of my writing mind, or you’re new to my work and want to get a sense of just how odd my stories are, this is my gift to you.…

  • Writing in Public I

    Writing in Public I

    I’m a bit fed-up with myself. I simply cannot seem to find the time to write, these days. So I’m going to take the time to write, even if it displaces my blog, I’m afraid. I’ll write here, and eventually I’ll coallate it all into… whatever it turns into. This is a WIP, one that…

  • Review: A Lake Most Deep

    Review: A Lake Most Deep

    As I started to read this, I commented that it is one of the most readable High Fantasy novels I have come across in quite some time. I revised that opinion very shortly thereafter. I’m talking about Rob Howell’s A Lake Most Deep, which suffers from an odd cover, and the mention by another reviewer…

  • 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,…

  • Review: The Private Shambler

    It’s been a hectic couple of weeks. I skipped out of writing a review last week partly because of my schedule, and partly because I hadn’t finished anything recently. Well, this week I did finish a nice, light, funny book. With Zombies… and vampires, and ghosts, and pretty much anything else Kevin J Anderson could…

  • Story Snippet!

    Story Snippet!

    If you’re interested in my new mystery novella, Memories of the Abyss, but wanted to see what it was about before you bought it, here’s a snip! Let me know what you think…  Memories She sat in the warm afternoon sun, her face tilted toward the warmth, eyes closed. It was finally spring, and she…
