I gave myself a self-imposed deadline to post about all of the books in the Hearts Collide Kickstarter before today’s Free Fiction Monday post goes live at noon. Part of that deadline included a three-hour window for this post to be at the top of the home page. Oh, and I wanted all of this […]

I don’t normally post in the middle of my night, but I’m trying to get in coverage of all five of the books in the Hearts Collide Kickstarter in a 24-hour period. I had planned to do this over a week, but a writing workshop (and sheer exhaustion afterwards) got in the way. So, I […]

It doesn’t seem like I’ve been all that silent here, but I have been. We experienced one of those life events that knocked us out of our routine and put us into a whole new world. A week ago Sunday, Dean tripped during a 5K run. He was going very fast, passing people and enjoying […]

I’m going to start with the thing that’s not as much fun as everything else. That’d be the little bit of advice. I have a new book out, which is called How Writers Fail: Analysis and Solutions. The topic is dark, but the book is uplifting, especially if you have some of the issues I’m […]

I’m so excited that you’ll all get to read The Kirilli Matter: The First Book of The Qavnarian Protectorate. What is the Protectorate? Well, it’s in the Fey world, on Dorovich, and I’m not going to tell you much more than that…except to say that yes, this book has Fey in it, and yes, you’ll […]

It has been a very busy start to the year. I just finished teaching an in-person workshop, which we held at Resorts World. It’s a lovely venue (unlike the Golden Nugget), and we had a great time. I’m hoping the students enjoyed it as much as I did. I’m teaching two more workshops there this […]

I’m actually a little excited (and terrified that I’m excited) for 2023. All of us involved with WMG Publishing are starting the year at a full run. We’ve made a lot of changes and progress in December, and we have great plans for this new year. First, let me tell you Diving fans that I’m […]

Just signed a contract for the new Diving novel. It’ll be serialized in Asimov’s some time next year. The novel is called The Courtmartial of The Renegat Renegades. Yep, more Renegat stories. And to think that should’ve been a novella. Whoops. We’ll put it out through WMG later in 2023. And maybe a few other […]
