Readercon was great, but I racked up a serious sleep deficit while partying and going out to breakfast, lunch, and dinner with my friends. I’m not complaining, though–it was a lot of fun, and I’d been looking forward to it all year. On Saturday, I managed to run over to the mall with my friend…

meanwhile, over at kat’s place.
My friend Katrina does a recurring blog feature called Prime Writing, and the latest installment features some dorky dude who wrote a novel about spaceships and stuff: http://www.katrinaarcher.com/journal/2013/06/24/prime-writing-marko-kloos/ You may want to check it out. Said dorky dude talks a bit about his novel and how it came about.

Being a writer is an awful lot like having a lot of homework every single day of your life. Yesterday I delivered the manuscript for Lines of Departure, the sequel to Terms of Enlistment, to my editor at 47North. It’s 28 chapters and 95,000 words, but I ‘m sure those numbers will change before publication…
random bullet points.
–I’m still hunkered down in my writing dungeon here at Castle Frostbite. I have to deliver the manuscript for Lines of Departure by the 31st, so I’m busy putting the final touches on it. If you’ve sent me email and I haven’t yet responded, I’m sorry. I’ll get to the essentials like email, showers, and…
monday morning post-pinkie pie party action report.
It’s Monday, and the house is QUIET. The dogs are snoozing in front of the pellet stove, which we had to turn on again last night because the temperature was predicted to dip down to freezing overnight. That marks the first day of the year when we had to run the pellet stove and the…
it’s back.
Behold: the product page for Terms of Enlistment is already back on Amazon. You’ll notice a few minor changes: the publisher, some details in the book description, and the digital list price. It’s listed as “pre-order for May 14, 2013”, but I have it on good authority that it will be available for purchase again…
“terms of enlistment” availability.
To abide by the terms of my publishing contract, I can no longer offer Terms of Enlistment directly as of today. If you want to purchase a copy, you’ll have to wait until May 14th, when 47North releases Terms of Enlistment again on Amazon. The good news is that this time, there will also be…
achievement unlocked: book deal.
Some of you may have noticed that I’ve been more quiet than usual on the blog and the TwitFaceSpaces lately. There’s a reason for that, of course, and I’m free to share it at this point. My awesome agent Evan Gregory of the Ethan Ellenberg Literary Agency has sold the publication rights to Terms of…
an announcement.
As of today, I have a literary agent. I’ve signed with Evan Gregory of Ethan Ellenberg, who will represent my works from now on. Together, we will make ALL THE MONEY. I’ve been looking for a literary agent for a few years now (ever since Viable Paradise XII in 2008, in fact), and Ethan Ellenberg…
brief update from the desk of yr obdnt srvnt.
Chuck Wendig, Jedi Master of Writing Advice, gave me and Terms of Enlistment a shout-out in his latest blog post about self-publishing. Chuck has gone the self-publishing route, but he’s also traditionally published, so he knows both sides of the coin pretty well. Steven Gould, author of the Jumper series of SF novels and one…
