For a while now, I’ve started and ended each year with blog posts detailing my writing goals for that year. Making those goals public has been a way to both let you all know what’s coming and hold myself publicly accountable. Unfortunately, the whole thing has gotten a little bit stale. So, this year, I’m…
For the past few years, I’ve had numerous people reach out to me and ask about getting signed copies of my books, but I’ve always been more focused on writing the next book instead… or perhaps too daunted by the idea of dealing with e-commerce, storefronts, and shipping to want to even try.
It’s been ten days since One Tin Soldier‘s release, which somehow means Thanksgiving is less than a week away, Christmas is less than five, and it’ll be 2053 before we know it. As ever, time has no real meaning anymore. Still, it seemed like a good time to look back at the release and to…

We had a week to get things together before Mammoth and the Mission left town. I spent most of it with Tessa, of course, each of us coming to grips with the reality that the next time we saw each other would be damn near Christmas.
I loathe being the center of attention. Maybe things were different back when my mom was still breathing, but if so, growing up in an orphanage had beaten the attention-seeker right out of me.

Not my idea of a party.
