I really, really need to post here more often, so in that spirit, I’m going to start doing a kinda/sorta book review thing. Only, authors really shouldn’t do book reviews. We have a better grasp than most what criticism can look like and know that no matter how well-meaning (and let’s be honest, some isn’t) it can still suck. So, rather than criticize, I’m going […]
Release Day!
Well the day has come (and gone). It snuck up on me. One minute, I had a book coming out and then, poof, Happy Book Birthday to Re-Coil. I did the author thing and rushed out to the nearest bookstore to see if I could find it “in the wild.” And lo and behold, here it is in all its glory at the local Barnes […]
Cover Reveal!
The cover for my upcoming novel, RECOIL has officially been revealed! Bask in the glory of its awesomeness! You can pre-order it from Amazon here or wherever else books are sold.
More frequent updates…
Just a quick note to say that I’m going to start trying to update this blog and site more frequently. I’m hoping to be able to do a new blog entry weekly. Don’t hold me to that, as it might take a while to build up steam, but the intent is to put more information out here. Now, that might mean that not everything is […]
Gloomhaven
Not a writing-related post, but some friends and I just finished our first game of Gloomhaven. If you don’t know what Gloomhaven is, it’s a massive cooperative campiagn dungeon-crawl style board game, but heavy with thematic elements in a persistent world. The design is “hard core” in that you’re pretty much only supposed to play it once on campaign mode, tearing up cards and permanently […]
SINdicate Release Day!
Well, okay, so YESTERDAY was the release day for Book 2 of the New Lyons Sequence (you can buy it here). It’s amazing how quickly these things are coming out. I’m used to the slower publishing cycle of non-digital media, so I can barely believe Book 2 is out 3 months after book 1 (and book 3, SINdrome is already up for pre-order). There’s currently […]
A Contract Completed…
Today I finished the final copy edits for Book 3 of the New Lyons Sequence, SINdrome (available for pre-order here). From my end, that pretty much puts this contract to bed. Sure, there’s promotional activity to do, and a final check of the AA’s for SINdrome, but by and large, my contract with Kensington / Rebel Base has been fulfilled. Which begs the question, what […]
So, How Are the Book Sales Going?
I’ve been asked this question a lot. It’s a perfectly reasonable question when someone has a new book out. Unfortunately, it’s not an easy question to answer. Bottom line? I have no idea. Until you get a royalty statement, there’s just no effective way for an author to track book sales. You can look at your Amazon sales rank, but that’s a relative measure against all […]

Well, I’m a day late and a dollar short with this post, but SINthetic officially released January 23rd. Now, behold the awesome power of… MARKETING DOGS!
