Now that I’m back from Cape Cod, I’ve got two major projects that I’m focused on: finish the first draft of Captives in Obscurity (Sons of the Starfarers: Book V), and get Heart of the Nebula ready for publication in November. Those are some big releases, so you can expect to hear a lot in the coming… Continue reading Two new stories!

Update from Cape Cod
Wow, it has been forever since the last time I blogged. So I’m at Cape Cod right now, vacationing with family for the next full week. Since my parents are moving from Massachusetts from Iowa, this will probably be the last time that we come up here, at least for a very long while. I’m… Continue reading Update from Cape Cod
Streamlining
About a month ago, I decided to make some changes to my writing process. I’d noticed that a lot of time was passing between book releases, and that even though I was writing almost every day, there wasn’t much to show for it. My old process tended to go in one of two ways: ONE… Continue reading Streamlining
Where’s SONS OF THE STARFARERS: BOOK IV?
So it’s been several months since I released Strangers in Flight (Sons of the Starfarers: Book III), and I’ve already gotten some flak from people waiting impatiently for Book IV: Friends in Command. Some of you may be wondering about that yourself, considering how I wrote and released the first three books within a couple… Continue reading Where’s SONS OF THE STARFARERS: BOOK IV?
Upcoming plans for 2015
I think my favorite time of the year is the week between Christmas and New Year’s. It’s a time for reflection, of looking at what you accomplished in the previous year and setting resolutions for the next one. In that spirit, here are some of the writing and publishing things I’d like to accomplish in… Continue reading Upcoming plans for 2015
Trope Tuesday: Colony Ship
It’s been a while since I did the weekly Trope Tuesday posts, but those were a lot of fun and they still get a lot of traffic, so I’m going to bring them back with a couple of changes. Instead of focusing on the trope itself, essentially rewriting the description on the tvtropes page, I’m… Continue reading Trope Tuesday: Colony Ship
Back from unannounced hiatus
Wow, it’s been forever since I last blogged. One of my real-life friends even asked me why I never post anything anymore. That’s when you know you’ve fallen off the face of the Earth. In truth, there’s not a whole lot to report. I’m plugging away on Heart of the Nebula, making good progress. My… Continue reading Back from unannounced hiatus
Excited for a new old project
So a couple of weeks ago, I picked up the manuscript for a novel I’d written years ago, looking to see how much work it would take to salvage it. It’s a direct sequel to Bringing Stella Home, with James McCoy (again) as the main character. Long-time readers of this blog may remember it as… Continue reading Excited for a new old project
Don’t worry, I’m still alive
Wow, has it been more than a week since my last post? I think this is the longest I’ve gone without updating this blog since coming back from Georgia. I wish I could say life has been busy, but it hasn’t really. Just another lazy summer in Utah. I did start dating someone recently, which… Continue reading Don’t worry, I’m still alive
Juggling projects (and trying not to drop them all)
Many, I wish I could write faster. I probably can, but there are times when writing is an uphill slog, and you can’t put your foot on the accelerator too hard or your tires will spin out. Right now, I’m about halfway through Star Wolf (formerly HEART OF THE NEBULA), and I’m in the part… Continue reading Juggling projects (and trying not to drop them all)
