Some readers have noticed that the release date for SCORPIO has been moved out to January 1, 2024. There’s a reason for that change, one that I can’t reveal just yet. But I can tell you that good things are happening behind the scenes that will make the new date make sense once I am…

Wild Cards: Pairing Up release day
Happy WILD CARDS day! I have a novelette featured in the latest Wild Cards anthology, titled PAIRING UP.

The theme of the…
ARCs and progress bars and also Readercon
The ARCs for SCORPIO are in, which officially means it’s a real, actual book now. The eagle-eyed among you will have noticed that the progress bar for DESCENT hasn’t moved a whole lot in the last two weeks. That’s because the whole family came down with COVID two weeks ago, and now that we have…
Bookplates are on the way
I finally got my ducks in a row for the bookplates I promised, and they are on their way. Everyone who requested a bookplate for their misprinted copy of ODDMENTS will receive one in the mail soon. I also changed the layout of the paperback to reduce the font size and clean up the formatting…
Work in progress status update
The edits for SCORPIO are done, and I’ve started work on DESCENT, Palladium Wars #4. My plan is to turn in the draft by the end of July for a release in the first half of next year. I installed a progress bar widget for WordPress, so now you can all follow along as I…
Bookplates for the ODDMENTS paperbacks without a Table of Contents
I submitted the change files for the corrected paperback version of ODDMENTS that includes a proper table of contents. It should be live within a day or two, and all the print copies ordered from Monday on should have a ToC in them. As a solution for those of you who bought the print version…
A note on the paperback version of ODDMENTS
If you’re looking to buy the paperpack version of ODDMENTS on Amazon, please hold off on the purchase at the moment. The version that is live right now lacks a table of contents, and I am working to have that fixed. I’ll post an update in this spot when the new version is available. (That’s…
Release day: ODDMENTS
Today sees the release of my short fiction compendium, titled ODDMENTS. A while ago, I took stock of all the short fiction I’ve ever written. It’s a sizable pile of stories, but it’s distributed across a whole lot of online ‘zines, mosaic novels, or individual Kindle editions. If someone wanted to have all my short…

Today I can announce that SCORPIO, the first novel in a new series called Frontlines: Evolution, has an official release date: November 14, 2023. You can pre-order the Kindle version here….
Terms of Enlistment is 10
Put on your party hats, because we have a birthday to celebrate. TERMS OF ENLISTMENT is ten years old this month. I brought it out in March 2013, and 47North bought it (and the second Frontlines novel, LINES OF DEPARTURE) in May of that year. Thanks to everyone who has ever bought this book…
