A while ago, the idea came up to do something a little different with the SF Signal podcast. Lots of people were making favorable comparisons between our weekly panel discussions and the panels you might see at a World Con. Flattering. We talked about it and decided that it might be fin to expand...
So, I recently shared with you guys an excerpt from a WIP – an untitled space opera. It was from one characters point of view – the story itself has multiple characters so we can see a lot of different pov’s. Today, I wanted to share one of those with you. Ulysses Sean Starker...
This one has been bouncing around in my head for quiet some time. I work a little on it now and then when the mood strikes me. It’s a complicated piece. This week, after complaining that I hadn’t been very productive, I found myself working on this again and really getting into it so...
So. World Fantasy had this fantastic dealers room. I didn’t buy anything in there. The reason I didn’t buy anything is actually logistics, not finances; I brought plenty of money with me so I could buy what I wanted, but the convention gave me a stack of books (see this earlier post for details)...
This past weekend, I flew to Columbus, Ohio to attend the World Fantasy Convention. I knew from past conventions that I’ve attended, that you usually get a bag of goodies. It never occurred to me that this convention would give me a bag full of books. Holy cow. Don’t get me wrong, I was...
One day I was sitting here and I thought, we need more cowboys in space. This lead me to sit down at the computer and start writing. The result was originally called ‘The Brothers of Katie Rose’; an homage to the classic western flick, ‘The Sons of Katie Elder’, but then I changed it...

Once again, my friend John Anealio and I had the privilege of hosting a fantastic guest over on the Functional Nerds podcast. John Picacio is an award winning artist who has put together some of the most memorable cover art I’ve seen in a long time. His covers grace books from many different publishers,...
I little while ago, I put up a post saying that I’d like to blog for you (That offer is still open, btw). Essentially, the idea was that I would write a guest post for your blog and you would write one for mine. You pick the topic I write and I pick the...
I figured it was time to do some writing updates, since that’s what all of this is really about. Funny enough, the genesis for this piece lies lies in the live episode of ‘I should be writing’ from Mur Lafferty. They were talking about writing and publishing and whether or not to publish your...
