Today has been a mixed bag, part writing (more on that in a bit), part house cleaning (very necessary as the mom is visiting next week), and part gabbing about cyberpunk on twitter. I can’t help that last one. I’m a bit of a cyberpunk geek, and the topic was the movie Inception and how

With Ink Calls to Ink out in the hands of beta-readers, and short-term writing commitments nailed down, it’s time to gear up for the next book. I’ve given it some thought, and talked with some of my longest-term readers, and decided to go back to the adventures of everyone’s favorite Mexican cycle-riding vigilante and panda

You know what’s even more awesome than breakfast at Cindy’s House of Pancakes in Seattle? Having it with fellow members of the HWA Northwest chapter, that’s what!

I had a mentor and sociology professor in college who used to state, “Any relationship where one person has power over another is a political relationship.” My dad, a bit of a socialist himself, got on great with him and used to call Dennis “the last Maoist west of the Rockies.” To say that they

It fills me with no small sense of dread not knowing what my next novel is going to be. I have no shortage of big projects to choose from: the final Protectorate book, the next Gato Loco novel, the Buddha Sessions (sequel to the mystery novel I’m about to start shopping), or maybe the first

Ink Calls to Ink is a sort of accidental novel. It started as a short story which appeared on the inaugural podcast of the Wily Writers, Valentine’s Day weekend in 2009. Angel Leigh McCoy, editor and major domo of the Wily Writers thought it would make a great novel. It was honestly something that had

I’m within 10,000 words of the end of Ink Calls to Ink. Actually, if my earlier estimates are to be believed, I may be within 8,000 words of the end. I have a name for this phase. It’s called “The Point of No Return.” Yes, it sounds dire. If you are my sleep, peace of
