Okay, gang, we are looking at releasing–very soon!–the fairy-tale anthology I’ve been promising you for awhile. In fact, here’s the cover! (Was I supposed to do a big reveal there? Errr…play a little drum roll on your desk, maybe?) (Also, Twitter told me to do that jacket quote. When I get some more blurbs, I […]

That’s right, as of…well, sometime last week, probably, I haven’t been checking that closely…we cracked 2000 copies of Nine Goblins sold! How cool izzat? Thank you, everybody who ordered a copy! You’re awesome, and I hope you enjoyed it! The following bits are probably only of interest to self publishers, but I wanna contribute what […]
If you want to be a writer–and lord, so many of us do, even when we ought to know better!–you could do a lot worse than to read this piece by Kameron Hurley. Writing for me was never an act of courage, an act of defiance, an act of…well, much of anything. I suppose it […]
Nine Goblins is on iBooks! You go to the app, you type in “Nine Goblins” and it’s THERE and it’s a BOOK! WOOO! *pant pant pant* No love from Kobo yet, but you can’t have everything. Far more importantly, if you ask me, Brandon the border collie is back from the vet. We have been […]
So I spent Saturday through Wednesday in Minneapolis, signing all the Kickstarter rewards for the Digger omnibus, and first of all OH MY GOD THEY ARE SO AWESOME LOOKING and also there were a lot of them.

Soooo….let’s just sweep the chaos of the last twenty-four hours aside for the moment… Hi, internet! I have a new novella out! It is live and there are no more horrifying errors with chapter duplication! You should read it! On Smashwords On Amazon It will propagate out to other sites when Smashwords gets around to […]
I spent today in the bowels of the beast, by which I mean Amazon and Smashwords. Most of the Amazon time was spent trying to figure out how I tell it that I don’t want to be exclusive to Kindle and just hitting “Save” until it told me it was in review and I couldn’t […]
I have a shiny edited file of the Goblin novella in my hot little hand. I am trying to format it for self-pub. I HATE EVERYTHING THAT HAS EVER LIVED AND I’M NOT FEELING GREAT ABOUT FUTURE GENERATIONS EITHER I stripped everything out in a text editor and then Kevin said “Hey, you can do […]
So this is my initial rough for the cover of the Goblin Novella. It’s got a white background. That’s the bit that I am wavering most on. A) The art looks best on white. So if I want to use this art, at least a chunk of it has to be white. B) Very few […]
