I’ll be leaving tomorrow for a fantastic and fun convention–Hypericon. I will be splitting my day hours between the Apex table in the dealers’ room (come see me!), sitting on panels, or watching panels. My night hours…well…those will have to be shared in private conversation. If you get a chance and live in or around [...]

I’ve been informed that my novelette “For the Sake of Pleasing” has been published by the fine folks at M-Brane SF. This makes me quite happy. I’m going to list some reasons why you’ll enjoy this story: 1) Giant purple alien heads that explode in zero-G Actually, that should be all the reason you need. [...]

Ever heard of Mo*Con? It’s a convention that Maurice Broaddus puts together to honor…himself. Actually, Maurice describes Mo*Con like so: Mo*Con is a convention focused on conversations revolving around horror literature and spirituality. Well, I know better. Whatever the case, I do know this–Mo*Con is helluva a convention. Alethea Kontis brings the world’s best baklava, [...]

From the beginning of this project, I wanted a blurb from only one guy. Jeff Carlson. If you follow my posts over on the Apex blog then you know how high I hold his work in esteem. From his adrenaline pumped award winning short fiction to the triumphant Plague Zone trilogy, he’s one of the [...]

You ever have one of those stories that you believe totally rocks? Yet, despite your best efforts, editor after editor believes otherwise. Then, to complicate matters, your story is an unwieldy novelette, topping out around 12,000 words. There’s not a whole lot of markets for those. After two years, I finally found an editor who [...]

Behold! I’m trying to land a blurb from a “big deal” author to place on the bottom front of the cover, but other than that…there you go. I like the copy design…it accentuates the artist’s work (Alex Andreyev). The book is up for pre-order. Looks like the publisher has priced it at a NICE and [...]
