I hope yours were merry and bright, that your halls were decked, and that any lingering reindeer pellets on your roof have ceased to smell. 2025 was…memorable for MBW, the HA, and me. But this isn’t the appropriate venue to rehash house-sale travails, or gnash my teeth over financial hiccups. Instead, I will review my… Continue reading The 2025 Rearview Mirror

Mercs and Mayhem
Raconteur Press has just released the anthology Mercs and Mayhem. So far it is rocketing up various Amazon sales charts. I’m not saying that’s due to it carrying a story by yours truly, but then again I’m not saying it isn’t. (Well, probably not.) Anyway, you should pick up a copy and read some stories… Continue reading Mercs and Mayhem
Poul Anderson’s Rogue Sword.
I picked up Poul Anderson’s Rogue Sword in a batch that also contained Clark Ashton Smith’s The Last Incarnation and Leigh Brackett’s The Coming of the Terrans. So, good company all around. Insofar as the book is historical fiction marketed as fantasy, it reminds me of Edgar Rice Burrough’s I Am a Barbarian. However, whereas… Continue reading Poul Anderson’s Rogue Sword.
The State of the Writer.
It seems like a good time to take stock. We’ve reached the second half 2023. Summer, in all its blistering glory is firmly in place. The fifty weeks of serializing Savage Journal are behind now. (Regarding which, I hope some of you enjoyed it.) I’m feeling settled in; it has been a bit over a… Continue reading The State of the Writer.
Falchion Returns! Resurrected Post.
April 5, 2020 Falchion Returns! You can’t keep a good man down. Or at least you can’t keep a perhaps not-so-nice fictional character down. If you enjoyed Boss: Falchion’s Company Book One, you’ll be happy to learn that Falchion is back, in Captain: Falchion’s Company Book Two. The book is out in print and digital,… Continue reading Falchion Returns! Resurrected Post.
In the Pipe. Resurrected Post.
March 29, 2020 In the Pipe Whether we’re facing a world-changing pandemic, or not, I’m still working. Not just at my day job; I’m also still producing books. I expect to have another book out early in April, perhaps by the first. Specifically, Captain: Falchion’s Company Book Two, the sequel to Boss. Falchion is back,… Continue reading In the Pipe.

The Words, Like the Spice, Must Flow. Resurrected Post.
March 8, 2020 The Words, Like the Spice, Must Flow When I first started writing, years ago, it was primarily as a challenge. Could I get a story published? Then, how about a few more? After a while, I wanted to see if I could get a novel published. That accomplished, I discovered I had… Continue reading The Words, Like the Spice, Must Flow. Resurrected Post.
The Mega-Post. Resurrected Post.
March 1, 2020 The Mega-Post When you have more than one thing to write about but little to link the subjects, start with a bombastic title. Don’t leave the best for last. Or do. I don’t know, it’s confusing. How about this? Boss: Falchion’s Company Book One is now an audio book. That’s pretty good… Continue reading The Mega-Post. Resurrected Post.
Away from the Keyboard. Resurrected Post.
February 9, 2020 Away from the Keyboard Actual writing constitutes the bulk of creating a book. Sitting my ass down and getting the words transferred from my fevered, abnormal imagination and into the computer. Then there’s the revising, the editing, etc. But that’s all part of writing. There is, however, more to it. And that… Continue reading Away from the Keyboard. Resurrected Post.
