When I was in Glasgow for Worldcon, I shared a few pictures on my Instagram account. Among them were shots of the full Scottish breakfast I got to use as fuel for the day. Someone commented on the post that I should “eat less and write more.” I’m sure the person who left that comment…

CORVUS draft and Worldcon after-action report
As you can tell from the progress bar in the sidebar to the right, I have finished the first draft of CORVUS, the second installment in the Frontlines: Evolution series. It’s with the editor now, and I’ll see it again in a few weeks to begin the developmental edits, but for now it’s off my…
Wild Cards interview and convention schedule for 2020
The official Wild Cards page has an interview with me that’s probably the most detailed and in-depth one I’ve given so far. In other news, work on Frontlines #7 (“Orders of Battle”) is progressing very well, and things are still on track for a completed draft by the end of December. I don’t want to…
Emerald City Comic Con
It looks like I’ll be attending Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle from March 12-15. I don’t have a schedule yet because the panels have yet to be approved, but if it’s anything like last time, I’ll be participating in a few panels and most likely do a signing as well. So if you are…
Emerald City Comic Con after-action report

The Doppler building, where Amazon Publishing is housed, is…
Home again, home again, etc. etc.

My revised public schedule for 2017
After overbooking myself on cons in 2015 and 2016 a little, I decided to lay off the conventions until April this year, mainly because I have a book to finish. But the con year is about to start up again, and I’ve gotten to add a few things to the list. So if you want…
back from honorcon, and some award braggery.
I just got back from Honorcon yesterday, where a lovely surprise was waiting for me during the awards ceremony for the inaugural Rampant Manticore awards. Not only did I get the Best Military SF Novel award (for ANGLES OF ATTACK), but I also managed to win the H. Beam Piper Memorial Award. These are doubly…
the dragon awards have been dragon-awarded.
NEWSFLASH: I did not win the Dragon Award for Best Military SF Novel. David Weber did, and congratulations to him. Congratulations also to Larry Correia, whose SON OF THE BLACK SWORD won the award for Best Fantasy Novel. (I didn’t expect to beat David on votes because he has a lot more fans and a…
