That’s right–I was up until about 2 am last night finishing it. Man, time goes by fast sometimes. This is probably just the first part of a much longer novel, but I hit a good stopping point so I’ll probably put it on the back burner for now while I finish Edenfall and do a… Continue reading Part I of Star Wanderers is finished!

My first 1 star review
Well, I went through a significant rite of passage over the weekend: I got my first one star review on Amazon. The review was for “From the Ice Incarnate,” which doesn’t really surprise me because it’s currently my lowest rated story. The biggest complaint seems to be that it feels more like a vignette than a… Continue reading My first 1 star review
Skye Object 3270a by Linda Nagata
It’s not easy being a teenager in the orbital colony of Silk–especially when all the adults are functionally immortal and anyone under one hundred is considered an adolescent. To make matters worse, Skye fell to the city in an escape pod when she was just a baby, with no idea who she is, where she’s from, or how long… Continue reading Skye Object 3270a by Linda Nagata
How do you know when you’ve succeeded?
With books and publishing changing so quickly, a lot of writers are wondering how they can tell when they’ve actually “made it.” It’s a valid question, one that I think we all need to answer if we want to write seriously. For myself in particular, as an indie writer, how will I know when I’ve achieved… Continue reading How do you know when you’ve succeeded?
Worldcon 2011: Friday
Wow, it feels like the second day of Worldcon was forever ago. Usually, Friday is the first real day of a convention, but since Thursday was the first full day of Worldcon, that wasn’t the case. I don’t remember a whole lot from it, but there were a few really awesome panels. In the morning,… Continue reading Worldcon 2011: Friday
Worldcon 2011: Thursday
Wow, the last couple days have been packed with awesome con-stuff, but I’ve got a short break so I thought I’d blog about it. Thursday was great, attended a few panels but mostly just wandered around meeting people. I’m a little surprised with how many people read this blog. Got Brandon to sign my Kindle,… Continue reading Worldcon 2011: Thursday
Teaser: Starmap from Bringing Stella Home
First off, let me get some business out of the way. I did another post for the Genesis Earth blog tour, this time on my friend Cavan’s blog. The subject: how and why I decided to become an indie published writer. Also, if you live in Europe, it may interest you to know that Genesis… Continue reading Teaser: Starmap from Bringing Stella Home
Why I am not afraid of the Noise part II
A recent op-ed in the Wall Street Journal titled “Cherish the Book Publishers–You’ll Miss Them When They’re Gone” has ignited a firestorm across the indie publishing community. The post’s basic argument is that the ease of self publishing and the end of New York as the gatekeepers of quality will make it harder for readers… Continue reading Why I am not afraid of the Noise part II

Okay, seriously, it’s not that big of a deal. I’ll just have to wait until tomorrow to start spamming… Continue reading Arrrgh Smashwords!
First Radio interview and other such stuff
Dude, check it out–my first radio interview just went live on the Dungeon Crawler’s Radio website! I met these guys at CONduit last month, where they had a booth and were recording all sorts of authors and artist. They were way cool when I talked with them, and when they found out I was a… Continue reading First Radio interview and other such stuff
