I already have all the wristwatches I’ll ever need, but this one is kind of calling to me…

Longhand writing
In a recent podcast interview, I was asked whether I still write my first drafts longhand. The answer I gave was that the last five or six novels were all written on the computer. (I use Scrivener for putting together my drafts, in case some of you are curious, although I am dabbling with a…
AFTERSHOCKS made the Dragon Awards shortlist in the Military SF category this year. Thanks to whoever voted to get it onto the shortlist! I’ve been nominated before, but I’ve never taken one of those cool trophies home. DragonCon and the awards are virtual this year just like every other con, so I won’t be going…
Branching out into fantasy, I guess
I have decided to become one of those eccentric writers and start handing in all my manuscripts to my editor hand-written in one of these: I really hope those are the Infinity Stones, and that’s the Time Stone in the center because that’s the one I’d use all the time to extend deadlines.

You wake up one morning and half the year is gone
It seems that it’s July already, which means that 2020 is officially halfway over. Let’s hope that the first half of the year wasn’t just a warm-up.

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…
