Traction? What Traction?

Well, dag nab it. I’m currently drooping over the fact that I’ve lost all momentum – what little I had, anyway – with my WIP. I’ve set aside still-in-progress work in the past, the most drastic example...

Well, Hullo, Ansel

After reluctantly filing away my in-stasis WIP, I dug out another unfinished piece that I can finally complete. It was technically going to be the third novella for The Book of Lost Princes, but the...

So Many Pies, Not Enough Fingers

The waters continue to churn hereabouts. Just when I thought I’ve finally laid (part of) the groundwork for a realistic hybrid author publishing career, something drew my attention to the fact that,...

Dear Little Sheridan Gets An Omnibus (And a Few More Words About Him)

A somewhat delayed bit of good news – my lovely young loser, Sheridan Diggins, is going to have all four novellas of his adventures released in a print omnibus sometime at the end of this year. \O/ As...

Ansel of Pryor House Cover Art and Blurb

And here’s something shiny and new that’s coming out next month. Ansel of Pryor House is my next historical fantasy novella, and it clocks in at around 39,500 words. Very much at the high end of the...

Melville House and Macbeth

So – regarding what I said in my previous post on going full indie next year, I’ve been looking at not just other indie authors who publish novella-length fiction, but also the lovely Melville House, a...

‘The Romeo and Julian Effect’, Et. Al.

Egad. Okay, so I told myself to stay offline – or at least limit my online presence to e-mails and a random RT or two over at Twitter – until I finished my WIP. Aaaaannnd I did two nights ago. Yeehaw....

Cover Art: The Romeo and Julian Effect (and a Release Schedule Tweak)

I’ve been sitting on this for a wee bit now, but better late than never, as the saying goes. The cover art for The Romeo and Julian Effect is here, and while the publisher doesn’t have the book page up...

Having One’s Pain Mirrored (a Good Thing – the Mirroring, Not the Pain, I Mean)

Consider this to be one of those “a funny thing happened on the way to the forum” deals or, in my case, “on my idle jaunt through the web”. Clicking one link after another, I stumbled across a...

‘Transylvania’: Halloween Fun

As a late, late, late follow-up to this post, I guess it’s better late than never. That said, I purchased the CD last year and meant to yak about it a few days after. Took me about twelve months to do...

‘Henning’ Box Set News and Other Not-Really-News

Ayup. ‘Tis the season, as they say. I’ve been hunkering down with my laptop, steadily chipping away at Guardian Angel and also reading like mad. Maybe it’s the nature of winter, but if I’ve always been...

It’s Alive: ‘The Flowers of St. Aloysius’

And now we have the next book on my plate. I’m resurrecting The Flowers of St. Aloysius, which stalled because reasons, and am going to start over with it. Background stuff on the story: I wrote this...

Random Is As Random Does, and I Share Stuff

And so we reach No Man’s Land in the realm of writing and publishing: that point in between published books, where I write and feed my brain with whatever I can snatch that might work magic on the gray...

No Rest For the Wicked, For Sure

So we’re on to new stuff, now that The Flowers of St. Aloysius finally took its bow. I mentioned before that I was planning to write a contemporary fantasy – novella-length, at that – but none of the...

Welcome To My World: ‘Hell-Knights’

New novel (novella?) title, yes. It’s the literal English translation of the Old English word, hellcniht, which means “demon”. There are no demons in the novel, but there’s a lot of devilry going on –...

Pondering a Crap Ton O’ Stuff (Oh, and ‘Hell-Knights’)

Two-month break from blogging seemingly over, yay. Guarantee of more consistent future updates still iffy, bleargh. I’ve been on Twitter pretty religiously insofar as maintaining an online presence is...

It Has a Title, My Darlings, and I’m Obsessed With Obsession, Apparently

And so, as always, my WordPress blog is behind Twitter on updates, necessitating another round of thinky-thoughts on whether or not this is worth keeping. Dunno. I’ll continue to sit on it till the...
