It’s a bit late in the day over here, but the day is not quite over. Today, Rock Revival makes its way into the world. It’s hard to encapsulate just what it feels like to put a book out like this. Technically, it’s my second published novel, but it’s my first non-genre novel, so it’s a... / READ MORE /
2017 was a pretty big year around these parts. I saw the publication of two novellas and two short stories — all of which I hold quite dear. First, there came Wothwood, a heroic fantasy novella (yes, you read that right… it’s short and it’s fantasy) about the “wood where the world is broken.” While there’s... / READ MORE /
The sequel to Frost & Filigree is officially off to the editor, and I am so excited, y’all. You may or may not have noticed, but this fall has been really, truly difficult for our family. A bunch of things fell off the rails, not the least of which was the writing schedule. But I’m... / READ MORE /
Holy cow, y’all. It’s been a busy few months over here. New house, new job, and traveling have kept me from updating the blog. But, just in time for my birthday, I’m happy to announce that Frost & Filigree is hitting Kindles worldwide. Like Wothwood, Frost & Filigree is a novella, but that’s about where the similarities end. For me,... / READ MORE /
That’s right. If you head over to Amazon, you’ll see that WOTHWOOD is ready for pre-orders. As it’s digital first, that means for a mere $2.99 (can you even get a cup of coffee for that price?) you get 50,000 words of heroic fantasy with a Weird twist. Sure, technically it’s a novel. But, given the genre,... / READ MORE /
I love making happy announcements, especially in these times, and today I’ve got a really good one. I’m thrilled to announce that I just inked an upcoming quartet of novellas from Falstaff Press, building on John Hartness’s already established Harker series. His pitch included words like “League of Extraordinary gentlemen” and “dark fantasy” and “heroes”... / READ MORE /

Writing a book, as the old adage goes, isn’t the hard part. I mean, yeah, it’s hard. It’s a butt-ton of work. For me, writing books isn’t the hard part. It’s something I do, more or less, whether or not I want to. But while the writing part isn’t exactly a mystery to me, there... / READ MORE /
The first time I met Sam Montgomery-Blinn in person, it was 2009, and he got me very, very drunk on Fat Tire beer. Not my usual fare, but he was buying. I was nervous as hell after my first public reading, so not really arguing. I’m still not sure how I got invited to the... / READ MORE /
