Frontlines #4 (Chains of Command) will be out in April, and I am hard at work to see to it that Frontlines #5 (Fields of Fire) will be out in 2016 as well. HOWEVER….there are other things in the works that may be of interest to you, and I hear that I am now free…

gooder reads.
Hey, look at that! ANGLES OF ATTACK made the semifinals in the science fiction category of the Goodreads Choice Awards. Thanks to all of you who voted for Space Kablooie #3. And feel free to vote for it some more! I spent the weekend at World Fantasy Con in Saratoga Springs, NY. I didn’t bother…
signed books: an experiment.
I know that some people would like to have books signed, and I probably don’t go to nearly enough conventions and such just yet to sign in person for everyone who would like a signed and/or personalized copy. Soooooo–here’s the new experimental plan. I don’t think there are so many of you out there that…
the 2015 goodreads choice awards and you.
It appears to my untrained eye that ANGLES OF ATTACK, the third Frontlines novel, made it into the opening round of the Goodreads Choice Awards 2015, science fiction category. That means a whole lot of readers thought it didn’t suck, which is a cool and pleasing thing. In the wake of the ballot-related kerfuffle that…
brief nycc 2015 weekend recap.
I spent last weekend at NY Comic Con in the Big Apple. As usual, it was a ton of fun, although the teeming mass of humanity that is the Javits Center at Comic Con is something I have to take in limited doses. I did a signing at the 47North booth, a panel with other…
con appearances for the rest of 2015.
I’ll be Author Guest at HonorCon in Raleigh, NC this year. HonorCon (one of two annual conventions around David Weber’s Honor Harrington series of military SF) is taking place from October 30-November 1 at the Hilton North Raleigh/Midtown. I’ll be doing a few panels and do some general milling around to meet people. ALSO: New York…
my sasquan weekend.
Sasquan was my first Worldcon, and it turned out to be quite the doozy for this first-timer. When we arrived on Thursday, the place wasn’t on fire, but smelled and looked like it. The nearby wildfires in central Washington were sending up smoke, and the wind conditions blew that smoke right across and into Spokane….
book deal news.
Minions! I have news for you. You will like these news if you’re the kind of person who likes good Frontlines news. Item the first: 47North has bought my next THREE NOVELS in one package deal. This will mean a.) two more Frontlines books after CHAINS OF COMMAND, and b.) a new book that will…
“be a space marine” update.
Thanks again to all of you who donated to the Semper Fi Fund to get a slot in a Spaceborne Infantry squad in Frontlines #4. I’m happy to report that I managed to slot everybody who made a donation into a squad position in the Ass-Kicker Platoon featured in Frontlines #4, CHAINS OF COMMAND. (In…
GRRM read “angles” and didn’t hate it.
In the wake of my Hugo withdrawal, George R.R. Martin picked up “Lines of Departure” a while ago and had some pretty nice things to say about it. It must have entertained him enough to move on to “Angles of Attack”, which he considers to be better than “Lines”, an assessment shared by quite a…
