If you want the background for this post, check The Binge post for a description of my recent unintentional astronomical word count adventure. Short version: I wrote one hundred twenty three thousand words in fifty days. Yow. So, you may ask, what did I learn from writing 123k words in 50 days? Plenty. What do [...]
By the time I finish writing this article, I’ll have written 123,000 words in fifty days. The output constitutes two short-book-length works (one novel, one reference work), nine blog posts, two commissioned articles, and some odds and ends of work on another novel. For the first half of the duration, I did it by accident. [...]
A few months back, after grinding my eight-year-old generic ergo keyboard into the ground I found myself in need of a new ergonomic keyboard. The keyboard failed on a deadline, so I had little choice but to do that thing you’re not supposed to do: shop for computer equipment at Best Buy. I’ve been writing [...]
Those of you following the Balticon and Contracts series on the blog have probably been wondering where the hell I’ve been – and those of you following the podcasts are really wondering. Well, I’ve been writing and producing an album. Wish there was a sexier answer, but there it is. And it is fun I’m [...]
As a writer, like most writers, I have one giant terror point. For some people it’s the writing. For some people it’s showing your work to friends, or to strangers. For some people it’s marketing in general. For me, it’s marketing fiction to editors. I don’t have a problem with nonfiction (as my bibliography demonstrates), [...]
It may be a minor thing in retrospect, but today it’s tickling my socks off. My first fiction print sales are now available from Amazon. The Pod Complex is an anthology of the best stories from the podosphere in genres ranging from mystery to horror with all stops in between. My own stories Cold Duty, [...]
As part of my self-education as a writer learning to market his work, I’ve been watching trends in e-books and audiobooks as well as publishing industry trends, and thinking about them in the context of podcasting as an endeavor that takes a lot of passion and commitment from very creative people. With all the talk [...]
Free content – particularly in the audio fiction space – suddenly seems a lot less of a perpetual free lunch than it did six months ago, and it’s got a lot of folks freaking out in my corner of the Internet. Providers are dropping like flies this year! Matthew Wayne Selznick and J.C. Hutchins have [...]
I am pleased to report that the story I originally wrote for Philippa Ballantine‘s podcast project Erotica a la Carte has just sold to Circlet Press, and will be included in their forthcoming anthology Apocalypse Sex. Buried Alive In The Blues is the story of Irene, a widow who finds herself trapped by a months-long [...]
I am pleased to announce that my friend and sometimes actor Philippa Ballantine and I will be collaborating on a new project this year. Although my creative partner on this endeavor and I are both known for our steamy fiction, this project takes it to a whole new level. Beginning in December, we will be [...]
I’m stopping in to give you all a quick digest on my recent activities, which have been many, prolific, and at hopefully somewhat scandalous. First, the appearances. You can find me on recent episodes of Podioracket, The Dead Robots Society, and doing voice work as the German Army in Philippa Ballantine’s Weather Child. You can [...]
Amazing day today full of good press for your humble narrator. It started off with your humble narrator being interviewed live on Podioracket’s BlogTalk Radio show. Shortly after I wrapped that up, an interview I did last month with WNDR Radio posted, and hot on the heels of that Dear Editor reviewed my story Cold [...]

Well, my friends (and enemies, and trespassers), I’ve just sold my first article that’s NOT about Linux. My essay “As The Gods Themselves…” about science fiction, religion, and the singularity is now online and available for download in PDF and MP3 format at The Journal Sci Phi. If you enjoy world religions, are wondering where [...]
My story Buried Alive In The Blues is now live at Erotica A La Carte. Head on over and take a listen. You probably guessed this based on the name of the venue, but this story is definitely not suitable for children. Enjoy!
