I recently finished Twelve Months, the latest Dresden Files novel, and it got me thinking about a piece of advice Jim Butcher often gives: don’t go easy on your characters. Their conflict drives the story forward. I translate this to mean: stop being so nice to your characters. In describing his series, Jim Butcher has said…
Congratulations to those who responded to last month’s newsletter regarding who sang the song with the lyrics: “time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’ into the future…”. The song was “Fly Like An Eagle”, so the correct answer was the Steve Miller Band. My wife tells me Seal had a version of the song too, so…
There’s an old song with the lyrics “time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’ into the future…” (bonus points if you can guess what song and group it’s from). But I definitely get that feeling with the start of 2026. We’re already more than halfway through the first month! I’ve heard that you shouldn’t wish people…
I almost titled this newsletter “I fought the law (Murphy’s) and the law (Murphy’s) won.” A couple of weeks ago, on a Friday afternoon, my son’s car broke down on his way to work. It was too late to tow it to a dealer, so we had it towed home, then had it towed to…
Greetings! It’s been a month since we last connected, and let me tell you, it has been quite the month! Toward the end of October, I was planning on finishing a Mechhaven novella, but for a variety of reasons I just couldn’t get it done, so instead of fighting the muses, I switched gears to…
Last weekend was Game-A-Con in Palm Desert. It was my first mall event, and after the enormity of L.A. Comic Con, I wasn’t sure what to expect. What transpired blew my mind… Game-A-Con ended up being my best show to date! I met a lot of Sci-Fi fans who were eager to read a great…
Last weekend was at L.A. Comic Con, which was my biggest show to date! And it was huge, consuming most of the L.A. Convention Center. My table was in Artists Alley, which was in Kenetia Hall, a converted underground parking structure. I was very familiar with the room as I’d spent quite a bit of…
It’s just about time! While the official launch date of By Archangel’s Light is Wednesday, September 24th, you can actually order the paperback of BAL right now! You can also pre-order the ebook and it will be available on Wednesday. If you’re a KU reader, it will be available on KU on Wednesday as well….
Wednesday, September 24, 2025, is By Archangel’s Light’s official launch day. I’m looking forward to this like you can’t believe! The formatting of the paperback and e-book versions are all but done. I have about two weeks to upload the final files to Amazon, so I’m taking this time to do some final, final reviews….
The moment we’ve all been waiting for is here! “By Archangel’s Light” is just about ready, and I couldn’t be more excited to share the epic conclusion of the Mechhaven saga. Over the last four books, we’ve watched this community of mechs and humans build something special together. Now in Book 5, everything they’ve fought…
