As you may have seen, I’ve cobbled together a brand new book trailer for Maldene I&II, which is imbedded below, and now a new ad poster to end the year with (also below, and the only place where you’ll find the full high res version). So take a gander and pass ’em both around.

Myers, the founder of steampunk K.W. Jeter, and the Grand Dame of fantasy herself, Mercedes Lackey! Special because it also includes my own little …

Someone recently asked how he could write like me; not the first time that question has come up. I soon realized that the response I gave might make for a good article, so here we are and away we go. I leaned to write by learning how to read and letting all my years …

A little while ago, sometime around 1988-1989, I wrote a quaint little New Year’s Eve themed short story– then promptly showed it to like three people before squirreling it away. Well, I guess it’s time to dust it off, so without further ado I now present “New Year’s Resolution”. A clinking of glass sounded …

Okay, so now for a bit more about some of the characters of “Cyberdawn: Beginnings”. First off, know that this novel is definitelty cross-genre, which I love doing. You will see elements of fantasy and magic, supernatural creatures that are the reason why the world needs to develop the first generation of cyber-weaponry; for without …

Welcome to Maldene, that world situated “in the center of Space, at the Doorway to Time, on the precipice of Fate.” You’re here for the tour; we’ll just be covering the highlights today, but as a precaution keep all limbs inside the transit bubble. First we have Tedelnosho, aka The Great Whirlpool, or if you …

Nowadays if you have a character in a story that’s supposed to be a person of faith, even a priest– especially a priest– it seems as if the result is always some guy constantly quoting scripture as if he swallowed a Bible.

I have this one small problem with my novels, and that is in labeling the genre. It ends up being a long string of explanatory notes, because I love mixing up genre. For instance, my Cyberdawn series (5 books) is at its base cyberpunk because this is the start of the cyber age, but the …

Everyone’s heard of Homer. No, not the Simpsons guy, the ancient Greek writer guy. The one that wrote The Iliad and The Odyssey. It is said that he also wrote numerous other works that were lost when the Library of Alexandria was burned to the ground. But I don’t think they were lost, just his …
