I have been waiting over a year to share this cover with you! The beautiful artwork was finished by the talented Michael McDevitt in June of last year, but I didn’t put all the text and everything on until I had the book ready to publish. That happened this week, so I put the finishing touches on it. I also…
Okay, I said I had some exciting things coming up this month, and here is the first — announcing a new project that I’m a part of! It’s called A Very Bookish Christmas, and it’s a collection of four Christmas-themed novellas to be released November 28th. But not just any novellas — these are unified by a delightful theme. Each…
Well, now it’s public and I can finally admit the main reason I’ve had so much trouble keeping up with blogging, writing, emails, and really all forms of pretty much everything. After many years of creating fictional people to populate the pages of my stories, it’s time for me to make a real person to populate my home! Yes, my…
I love westerns. True, I haven’t read many, but I have watched dozens of old B-westerns, several western TV shows, and a handful of bigger-budget specimens. I wrote a western mystery myself, and one of the best things that came from that was a friendship with the awesome Elisabeth G. Foley, a much more prolific western writer than myself, who…
Today’s the day. The official release date of Firmament: Machiavellian. Sure, it lacks a little “oomph” because it’s not going quite how I planned — there were some problems with the paperback, so it won’t be available for a day or two, but the Kindle version is already out, so for those of you who like electronic books, you can…

So, the second of this month’s Firmament surprises? What could it be? Well, I guess the title of this post kindof gave it away. Today is the beginning of the cover reveal for Firmament: Machiavellian! Why just the beginning? Well, you don’t get to just look here and see it. It’s not quite that easy. Instead, we’re going to give…
It’s hard to wait for things. Especially good things. Especially good books. Especially when you have to wait a long time. Though sometimes, the long wait makes the book even more pleasant for the delayed gratification. One such long-awaited good book is Plenilune by Jennifer Freitag. I’ve long admired Jenny’s work and her skill with words, and the premise of…
Yesterday I announced on my Facebook page that there would be an exciting announcement today, and I’ve had people curiously waiting to find out just what that is. One reader even stated that she almost felt like she was camping in a line waiting for concert tickets! I can only hope that after stirring up these expectations, the forthcoming announcement…
