Happy Sunday Y’All! Before I get into the meat of today’s post, I have the following to report: The Balticon Schedule is now live! Check out the Events page to find out where I’m going to be, and when I’m going to be there. If you happen to be in the Baltimore area on the …
Happy Sunday Everyone! First, I’d like to thanks the folks that came by to hear my reading yesterday at Penguicon. If you weren’t able to make it, you can stop by the Freebies page for an excerpt from the story that I read: “Haven” from the Weird Wild West anthology. This week I wanted to …
Ok, let me just put it right out there up front: I am totally feeling deficient as a writer. I’ve been working on a book since the turn of the year. Truth be told, a little bit before then, but I turned around and did a massive rewrite – yes, I know that’s not what …
