Two Bestsellers in Science Fiction
Tweet As a little experiment, I decided to make a couple of my short stories free on Amazon: Sagan’s Law and The Cageless Zoo. I didn’t think much would happen and I pegged my expectations very low. As of 5pm yesterday they were free on Amazon. Exactly …
TEN
Tweet What do all these random images have to do with anything? I finished my tenth book this weekend. Seems hard to believe that I’ve written that many, all one word at a time. The first four will never see the light of day. They were my practice novels and unless I use the source …
Reviews, Updates and Links, Oh My!
TweetBetween the grueling heat wave and the torrential storms, I’ve had plenty of reasons to stay indoors this summer and keep working. I’m past the center post and it’s hard to imagine I’ll get as much done as I did the first half, but with many deadlines looming I have no choice but to keep …

Back From Mexico
TweetThe blog has been pretty quiet these last few weeks, but for good reason. I had to work pretty feverishly to get the print-on-demand version of Gamers ready for proofing before we left for vacation. Since my wife and I have been back, we’ve been fixing the problems that surfaced in the proof. The bad …
New Story – The Cageless Zoo
TweetWriters are like mothers. They claim that they love each of their children the same, except they really have a secret favorite they love slightly more than the rest. While I love all my stories, this story, The Cageless Zoo, is the one secretly give extra treats to when the others aren’t looking. You can …
Reviews for The Digital Sea
TweetSince the publication of The Digital Sea back in January, I’ve been rather busy. I finished the first draft of my alt-history novel The Fires of Alexandria, gotten my YA speculative fiction novel Gamers ready for publication (hopefully to be released in a week) and started on book two for The Digital Sea trilogy – …
