Yesterday, the Author\’s Guild placed an ill-advised blog entry on their site. It\’s such an obvious piece of fluff propaganda that it\’s being picked apart around the internet. One of the better commentaries was penned by Passive Guy over on his blog. I\’ll agree with PG\’s summary: the writer of said post was clueless. PG …
A new year, and time for a change. I\’ve updated the blog. New look – a crisp, clean website which should load a little faster and look a little more professional. I have to admit, I liked the old stonework art I used to have. It\’s art I made, back when I was doing game …
This one\’s aimed at writers, but it\’ll also interest readers out there, since I\’m going to be posting some fiction here for folks to read. Yes, soon. Maybe tonight. Definitely by tomorrow. Writers, I\’m going to guess most of you are following Dean Wesley Smith\’s blog. If you\’re not, I can\’t recommend it strongly enough. …
So, a few new changes to the blog over the last 24 hours! First, I added a new column. The new column has links to my books and short stories on various vendors (just Amazon and Smashwords for now, but I\’ll be adding B&N soon as well). I can already see that becoming a problem …
Having trouble figuring out book format, terminology, typefaces, etc.? Want to know about some of the perils and pitfalls to avoid in designing a good book? I was directed to this site by a tweet from The Passive Voice (another great blog to follow, incidentally, regarding the publishing business in general). Take a look. Some …

I suppose it was inevitable. Sooner or later, it was bound to happen. For the first time in over two decades of using the internet, I got banned from a site. Not just any site, either. I was banned from the Absolute Write forums. And honestly, I\’m pretty glad I was. Let me explain. Absolute …
NaNoWriMo is a blast. My wife and I have done it together three times now, and I credit NaNo with no small part of my renewed interest in writing, the last few years. What\’s NaNoWriMo? National Novel Writing Month. Every November, tens of thousands of writers get together (was over 150k last year) and try …
Something a little different this time. Had a fun chat at work the other day. Oddly enough, it was about surviving the zombie apocalypse. No, I don\’t really think there is one coming. No, zombie movies and books are not a staple of my entertainment (although I liked 30 Days Later and Ms. Hocking\’s Hollowland). …
J.E. Medrick invites some of the writers for the \”Twelve Worlds\” anthologies to do a series of interviews and guest blogs over on his site. Mines up now – actually, has been up a few days now, and I\’m a little late getting the word out over on my own blog. 😉 Been a busy …
