There’s a pretty sweet review of the audio version of Terms of Enlistment over at Audio Book Reviewer. You should go check it out. The audio version of the third Frontlines book is currently in production, from what I hear. I am really happy with the work of Luke Daniels, who read the first two…

angles of attack release date.
It appears that Frontlines #3, ANGLES OF ATTACK, has an official release date: April 28. Here is the Amazon product page, where you can pre-order the book if you are so inclined. There’s no cover art yet, but I’m sure 47North will update the product page as soon as there’s an official cover. In the…
my birthday, and also the audible deal of the day.
Hey, kids! For my 43rd birthday (which is, incidentally, TODAY AND RIGHT NOW), Audible got me a nice surprise: LINES OF DEPARTURE is the Audible Deal of the Day! So if you like taking in your fiction through the sound-holes in your skull, you may want to head over there and pick up a copy….
the novels of chang.
Chang Terhune is a good friend of mine. We met for the first time back at Viable Paradise XII in 2008. He is one of the many talented writers in the VPXII alumni group that are also fine human beings and fabulously fun to hang out with. Because he’s practically a local (Castle Frostbite is…
clickity-clack.
The Apple Bluetooth wireless keyboard that ships with new Macs is very sleek and stylish, but it doesn’t stand up to hard typing. It has minimal key travel, lacks a Delete key, and the tactile feedback is so-so at best. For checking Facebook and writing emails, it’s OK, but folks who have to drum out…
books-a-million, i am terribly vexed.
Books-A-Million, we need to have a little talk. You see, I used to go to Borders a lot. You remember Borders, don’t you? Yeah, it’s that book store chain whose store location you took over in West Lebanon a few years back when they went the way of the apatosaur. You kept most everything in…
meet the new frostbite one.
So I got to upgrade the long-in-the-tooth Dogevan last week. I was briefly flirting with the idea of downsizing and going with a Mazda5 or a Mistubishi Outlander, based on their ability to serve as a six- and seven-seater respectively in a pinch. In the end, however, I decided on getting…another Grand Caravan. Here’s the…
so….you’re saying this car isn’t very good?
This review of the new 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage is the best car review I’ve read in a month of Sundays. I had to check to make sure it wasn’t out of Car & Driver, because it reads just like their reviews during their snarky peak. Example quote: The reborn Mitsubishi Mirage lowers expectations, strangles them…
new paperless typewriter.
That’s the new word-banger-outer here in the Castle Frostbite Novel Factory, a 13″ MacBook Pro with Retina display. (I usually work longhand and then transcribe stuff every chapter or so, but the current deadline means that I have to skip a step and write straight on the computer.) I had a MacBook Air last year,…
achievement unlocked: foreign language rights sale.
That right there is the contract for the Czech language rights to TERMS OF ENLISTMENT, making this officially my first foreign rights sale. This is one of the many reasons why having a good agent is a huge benefit. Foreign language rights are basically free money. The foreign publisher pays an advance–check in the mail,…
