It’s here, boys and girls. The Cobalt City Timeslip anthology from Timid Pirate Publishing is now available for pre-order. In other news, I was interviewed for my neighborhood news blog, the always awesome Phinneywood blog, about the impending release and all things Timid Pirate. I encourage you to check it out. It’s chock full of…

Just got my schedule for Foolscap, my favorite convention of the year (September 24-26, Redmond). While sad that the panel on “Whatever Happened to Shared World Fiction” didn’t happen, there are still some good panels and a writing workshop on Friday to look forward to.

Ok, first thing first. I asked for a show of hands a while back among my extended Twitter network, looking for reviewers. It was important for me to get review copies for Cobalt City Timeslip out well in advance of release, and I wanted them in the hands of people who would actually post a…

Schuyler Devin, Leah Cutter, and…

The author enters and looks at the assembled crowd. He clears throat once, then twice, before stepping up on the soap-box. Print is not dead. You heard it here, folks. Printed books aren’t going anywhere. Take a minute. Write that down if you need to. Is digital media changing the playing field? Absolutely. Being able…

Here is an advance look at the interior art for the upcoming Cobalt City Timeslip anthology. Here you see Midnight Thunder in action from my story, “The War at Home.” Set in 1975, it involves the newly-minted avatar of Thor fighting to protect his neighborhood from Loki and the poisonous influences of the Bifrost Roller…

Writing is a lonely, solitary business — hovering over a keyboard, pouring ideas from head onto paper (or electronic equivalent, more often than not), immersed deep within worlds of your own creating. Except when it isn’t. True, most of us need some quiet time alone to get writing done. But some of my best writing…
