MidAmericon II, the 74th Worldcon, seems to be almost upon us. I’ll be in Kansas City next week for the event, armed with a credit card and a light convention schedule. There are two Wild Cards-related events I’ll be attending as a panelist/signing author. One is the big Wild Cards signing at Rainy Day Books…

warming up the stove for frontlines #6.
Having turned in the edits on FIELDS OF FIRE, Frontlines #5, I spent exactly three days puttering around online and playing video games before it got old again. Seems like I get antsy when I don’t have a work in progress cooking on the stove. Sooooo….work has commenced on Frontlines #6. I settled on a…
terms of enlistment on storybundle.
TERMS OF ENLISTMENT, the first volume in the Frontlines series, is part of the current StoryBundle (called “Starward Bound”), along with novels by a whole bunch of other excellent writers. The price point to get the bonus novels (of which TERMS is one) is $15, which will get you eight new Skiffy novels on your…
new mexico.
I just got back from New Mexico, where I spent three days visiting friends and attending some fun Wild Cards events. The first was an “in-character” interview done for the audience at the Jean Cocteau Cinema. Due to the fact that I got into Albuquerque a little late, I got to the theater halfway through…
honey, i shrunk the phone.
Just before I went to Europe last year, I upgraded my phone from an iPhone 5 to a 6 Plus. Having read the reviews online (and having taken big swigs of the marketing Kool-Aid), I figured I could use the Plus to combine the jobs of both tablet and phone in one device. After a…
facebook, and why i’m tapping out.
I’ve been on Facebook for a long time, but today I’ll be pulling the plug on my account over there. I’ve known for a while that it had become more distraction than useful or fun tool, but today things kind of tipped over for me when one of my real-world writer acquaintances got pissed off…
wild cards in santa fe.
So there’s this thing at George R.R. Martin’s Cocteau Cinema next Sunday. There will be nineteen Wild Cards authors, old and new, for a fun little event with a signing session afterwards. You can read the details on GRRM’s not-a-blog here. I’ll be there as well to represent the Junior Woodchuck contingent of the Wild…
worldcon and wild cards.
I’ll be in Kansas City for MidAmericon II, the 2016 Worldcon, in a little over a month. I’m not on any official programming, but there are two events I’ll be joining: the Wild Cards signing on Friday, August 19th from 5-8pm, and a Wild Cards panel on Saturday, August 20, from 3-5. We’ll be doing…
a wild blog update appears!
If I’m less active on social media at the moment, it’s because I am finishing up FIELDS OF FIRE, Frontlines #5, for delivery to my publisher. (FIELDS OF FIRE already has a pre-order page if you want to put your order in early, but be aware that the delivery date is provisional and can change.)…
frontlines: the cocktail.
Just in time for the upcoming Manticon (where I will be Guest of Honor), I present to you the first Frontlines-themed cocktail: the Shockfrost. Those of you who have read ANGLES OF ATTACK will know that the Shockfrost is featured in the novel as the specialty of the bars on the ice moon New Svalbard,…
