Most of the winners of the give-away have sent me their info to receive the books. I still need Ghost Rider 6, Bobby Williams, and Johanna to check their email and reply to the message they received. (I sent it to the email you used to register your comments, so if that one isn’t set…

BALLISTIC giveaway
BALLISTIC, the second novel in the Palladium Wars series, will be out in a little less than two weeks. I just got my author copies in, so I figured I’d do a little giveaway. Leave a comment on this post if you’d like a signed trade paperback of BALLISTIC. I’ll leave the post open…
Berlin is never Berlin
Tor.com has a new Wild Cards story out today, written by me. It’s called “Berlin Is Never Berlin”, and it features Khan, my joker-ace character who is half Bengal tiger and 100% bad-ass. (Khan was my point of view character in “Stripes”, my contribution to our Wild Cards novel LOW CHICAGO.) In this story, Khan…
Frontlines #7 cover
That’s the cover for ORDERS OF BATTLE, seventh book in the Frontlines series. As with all Frontlines covers, it features spaceships…but as with all Frontlines covers, the art doesn’t necessarily correspond to any specific event in the book, so don’t try to divinate plot points or anything. What I can tell you about ORDERS OF…
Release date for Frontlines #7
ORDERS OF BATTLE, the seventh novel in the Frontlines series, will be released on December 8. There’s now a product page up on Amazon, where you can pre-order the book on Kindle, in paperback format, or as an Audible book: There’s no cover art yet as the book is still in production, but that will…
ARCs for BALLISTIC are in
I just got a box of ARCs for BALLISTIC, the second novel in the Palladium Wars series. Still massively digging the cover, which was apparently the first shot the cover artist took at the concept. I looked at it and said, “I’m good with that.” The Palladium Wars series is different from Frontlines by intent….
Frontlines #7 is done
I was planning to go to Detroit for ConFusion this past weekend, but the draft for the seventh Frontlines book, ORDERS OF BATTLE, wasn’t quite done yet. Work comes before fun because fun don’t pay the bills, so I sucked it up and cancelled the trip altogether just before the weekend. It turned out to…
Keeping it simple
One of the perks of the writing profession is that it has virtually no hardware requirements. My friends in the 3D animation or video and photography fields have to spend money on powerful rigs with lots of fast storage, but I work with text. Everything I’ve ever written, a dozen novels and as many…
My creative balance for the decade
According to the Intertubes, that is my creative output for the 2010s. Seven novels, two Wild Cards novellas and one novelette, and three short stories. Their tally is missing one short story, “On the Use of Shape-Shifters in Warfare”, which was used for LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS this year. I’ve also written two more novels…
Wild Cards covers
I asked for the high-resolution artwork for the covers to my Wild Cards stories because I wanted to have them printed and mounted for the office wall. That’s John Picacio’s work on the left (for the novelette “How To Move Spheres And Influence People” on Tor.com), and Michael Komarck on the right (for the novella…
