The notoriously awards-shy Bundeswehr has started to issue these little badges to German veterans to give them a little something that confirms their status and lets them show their service. I got mine in the mail the other day. It’s not a military award for the uniform, just a lapel pin. The motif is…

DESCENT draft is in the bag
As you can see on the progress bar on the right side, the draft for DESCENT is complete at 101% of projected word count. I’d say that’s a landing smack in the middle of the touchdown zone. Now it goes off to the editor, and I get to do the traditional brain rinse where I…

As you can see from the progress bar, the draft for DESCENT is moving along steadily. I write faster the further I get into the book, and especially once I reach the last quarter, so I expect to be finished in another two weeks or so. Then it goes off to the developmental editor, and…

Paper trail
This row of paperbacks is my collected output for novels since 2013. That does not include the novel I just delivered, titled CITADEL, because that one obviously doesn’t exist yet in paper form. It also doesn’t represent my total output because I also managed to write four novellas and novelettes for Wild Cards (“Stripes” for…
