A song came up on my playlist today, an old 80s tune called Believe it or Not. It was originally the theme for a goofy-fun show called The Greatest American Hero. One of my favorite songs ever, it captures a feeling of soaring exuberance that, as a kid, I thought …
For the record, and you can quote me on this: Winter above the 43rd parallel is pretty miserable. Not because the weather’s bad–even this year, which I’m told is the worst winter my little town has seen in a century, the weather was tolerable (I’ve seen East Coast winters, we’ve …
Now that I’ve finished Suave Rob 3, I’m diving deep into the next book in the adventures of Joss Kyle. And, as promised, I’ll be blogging every day about my process and progress. I’m doing this for two reasons: To incentivize myself This project scares me like no project has …
I posted the other day about writing through a nasty injury to my hand, and how every word hurt to type, but not as much as it hurt to not write. Well, that state of affairs didn’t last long. After a day of solid work, the bruised, abused, and atrophied …

This is just a general update of sorts, as much for my own personal mile-stoning as for anything else. Last night I typed “The End” on Lantham #6, called In The Cloud, thus adding to the stockpile that my poor publisher has to wade through in her copious free time. …
Happy New Year, everyone! I’m back in the game with a new book, and several more scheduled right after this (I’ve been writing a LOT over the last year. You can see the current release schedule here). This first book takes place in the Antithesis Universe, about a hundred years …
Hey everyone– Quick update for you regarding the podcasts and where the hell I’ve been. Short version: Crudrat ate my life. Some projects, by dint of luck, show you all the cracks in the structure of your operation, and Crudrat has done that to AWP. Almost everything that could go …
