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…

That monstrosity is a Brother WP-1 word processor. I recently found this picture online, and boy, did it trigger some memories. I got one of those babies in the late 1980s, when I was just out of high school. I kept it throughout my four years of military service, and it got dragged to every…

25 years….don’t they go by in a blink. A quarter-century ago, the Wall between East and West Berlin finally came down, and a divided city and country began growing back together after 45 years of enforced separation. I was in the military at the time. When the Iron Curtain became porous, and the flow of…
bow & arrow.
Back when I went to community college in Tennessee, I took archery as one of my P.E. classes, and found that I really enjoyed it. Ever since then, I had plans to get a bow of my own and shoot it regularly, but we didn’t have the space in Tennessee, and other priorities got in…
“lines of departure”, the goodreads choice awards, and you.
Last year, TERMS OF ENLISTMENT made the SF shortlist in the 2013 Goodreads Choice Awards. This year, LINES OF DEPARTURE has managed the same trick in the 2014 Goodreads Choice Awards, which is nice. If you read the book and liked it enough (if you in fact LIKED IT BETTER THAN THE OTHERS), then by…
elections, schmelections.
Here’s my (not terribly prescient) prediction for tomorrow’s midterm elections: The GOP will most likely gain Senate control. They will then promptly assume that they weren’t elected because people are tired of Team Blue’s fuckups, but rather that they now have some sort of mandate to double down on stupid and harp on gay marriage…
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….

noo yawk city.
I’m in New York City at the moment, attending NY Comic Con, meeting up with friends, and doing a little bit of Big City Stuff. I haven’t been back in the city since maybe 2000, so it’s interesting to see how much has changed around here. It’s kind of trendy to talk smack about NYC,…
