I was talking to my writing friend the other night, the frighteningly talented Jeremy Zimmerman, when he mentioned my ability writing in an urban motif. Urban, which anyone paying attention in the past decade, is code-word for “black,” is an element in a few of my short stories for the past year or two. He…

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…

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…

A few years ago, I went to Gen-Con for the first time. It was an incredible experience on many levels, but what really stuck with me was this feeling of “rightness.” There was a real feeling wandering around Indianapolis that the Geek truly did inherit the Earth. We OWNED that town, at least around the…

Before you judge me, consider this. The first Counting Crows album, August and Everything After, came out in 1993, and when “Mr. Jones” got heavy rotation on MTV (back when they played videos), it catapulted them into instant stardom. The album became the fastest selling album since Nirvana’s Nevermind. The band has since sold over…

October is now my official favorite month. Ok, not like that’s changed much. I’ve always been an autumn kind of guy. I love the sounds, smells, and temperatures of September-November, (back-to-school to Christmas, actually). I even got married in October once. That didn’t stick, but my love of the season did. But now, I have…

It’s a horrible mental image…stuck trying to get a locker combination to work in a school hallway, a building you don’t even know, and then you get hit with a premonition. No, not a premonition, but a vision that knocks you to your knees: fire erupting from the blacked brick doorway of a school, children…

It’s that time again — shameless self-promotion time. I will be taking part of the Wayward Coffeehouse Evening of Authors this coming Saturday. Scheduled to run for 2 hours, there is an impressive list of authors taking the mike, including myself, Jennifer Brozek, Cat Rambo, Alma Alexander, Jeremy Zimmerman, R. Schuyler Devin, Leah Cutter, and…
