No, you didn't wander into a time machine and end up five-and-a-half years in the past just after the release of Fallout 3 for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. I wrote this preview for PlayStation: The Official Magazine in the summer of '08, a few months before Bethesda launched the hotly anticipated sequel like a nuke made from awesome. Since the magazine ( Read more... )

I am thrilled to announce that Hazardous Press picked up my dark fantasy story, "The Aggrieved," for publication in the upcoming Tales of the Dark Arts anthology. As is tradition, I offer a short teaser of the story:

After witnessing his father kill his mother in a drunken frenzy, Viktor becomes consumed with hate and turns to black magic to enact ( Read more... )

Stay Awhile and Listen: Book 1 has been doing well, but I haven't had much time to notice. I made requested edits to HERITAGE for the publisher, and have been scheduling DM Press's releases for the 2014 calendar year -- all of which I'm writing, so I've been rather busy. Here are a few tasty morsels that have come out of the last several weeks ( Read more... )

By the time you read this, Stay Awhile and Listen Book 1 will be available. If you preordered on iTunes, the book should have infested your iBooks device like monsters crawling up from Hell's deepest pit to infest the good people of Tristram. For those who didn't preorder, go to the Kindle storefront and behold the luminescence of the book's cover ( Read more... )

After over a dozen entries in the month of September, my busy schedule has forced me to slip back into the bad habit of not updating the blog as regularly as I'd like. This round-up collects two weeks' worth of publications, minus new Sunday Blogdays for the next couple of weeks. I'm already hard at work on STAY AWHILE AND LISTEN 2 and getting back ( Read more... )

Last fall I ran a complete chapter from STAY AWHILE AND LISTEN on Shacknews. The promotion went over so well that I decided to give away a few more pages... only, closer to the book's release rather than a year off ( Read more... )

Two awesome pieces of STAY AWHILE AND LISTEN coverage dropped yesterday.

- First up, you can now pre-order SAAL 1 on iTunes. You won't be charged until 10/31 when the book becomes available, so reserve it now.

- Lucas Smith, a writer at VideoGameWriters.com who's currently reading SAAL for review, interviewed me about the book. We cover a range ( Read more... )

I get so caught up in deadlines and guidelines for my writing projects as well as those I complete for freelance clients that I'm often too tired to transfer idle thoughts to paper. Sunday Blogday is a new weekly column of sorts which I'll use to share whatever random topic's been bouncing through my brain. I just crank these out without editing; ( Read more... )

I've spent the last couple of days tidying up in the Vault, where you can order my books and follow links to articles I've published online. Most of the tidying concerned aesthetics, such as changing "(Part 1 | Part 2 ...)" to "(Part 1 / 2 / etc)" for multi-part features. But I also unearthed a couple of older interviews that I decided against ( Read more... )
