Inspired by a fellow writer who I follow on Twitter, I have been moved to list my October goals. Why,you may ask? Well the answer is two-fold — it helps me keep a clear sight on what I hope to accomplish, and it enables others to hold my feet to the fire just a bit.

It’s a comin’ up fast, folks! Cobalt City Timeslip, the little anthology that could, is releasing on Friday, October 1st. Heck, we’ve been up for pre-orders on the Timid Pirate site for a week or more now, and we just showed up on Amazon.com also. Ah, the sweet smell of the big markets! And it’s

Well, to say that the past week has been chaotic would be pretty appropriate. Cobalt City Timeslip was finalized, sent to the printer, re-finalized, sent to the printer again, the Seattle Storm took the WNBA title for the second time (GO STORM!), did an interview, fielded a bunch of email resulting from said interview, put

Cobalt City Timeslip is marching towards the finish line. While we’re not quite in Victory Lap mode, we’re not in Bataan Death March mode either. Timid Pirate Publishing had a big meeting last week and took a look at what’s done, what NEEDS to be done, and what needs to happen to get those things

Let this serve as a warning. This is a dual-purpose post. I recently received news that I story I submitted to the Human Tales anthology by Dark Quest Books, edited by Jennifer Brozek, had been picked up for publication. This is happy news, as it continues a recent string of anthology sales. This is one

In case I ever suffer a head trauma and forget what amazing people I’ve partnered with for Timid Pirate Publishing, I don’t need to look much further than this. Created by our art director, my long-time friend and frequent co-conspirator, Jeremy M. Matthews, this book trailer is like candy. Not just any candy…little liquor-filled bon
