Hey, I’m back! I apologize for disappearing over the last three months, but I found myself super-busy on a couple of different projects and I just felt like I had to zero in on the writing for a bit. I intend to return to more regular posting soon (and maybe finish up my retrospective on …
Great Navy Movies
I decided to change things up a little bit this week—it seems a bit self-centered to spend all of my time talking about books I wrote. So today, I’m going to take a look at my ten favorite Navy movies. If you haven’t seen all of these, maybe my recommendation might steer you toward something …
17 Novels: Final Gate
Busy week for me! I’m hard at work on the first draft of Book 3 of the Sikander North series. I just saw the cover for Restless Lightning (Book 2 of the same). And I’m tinkering with an idea for a very different book, as well as plinking away at a big Sasquatch Game Studio …
17 Novels: Farthest Reach
Boy, lots of good movies coming up in the next couple of months. I’m all in on Pacific Rim Uprising; I know smart people who say that the first Pacific Rim was not a good movie, and I literally don’t understand the words that are coming out of their mouths. Giant robots and giant monsters? …
17 Novels: Forsaken House
Hey, I’m back! I missed last week because I was swamped with a couple of different projects, so I made a little time this morning to get back on track. I’m busy cleaning up a game project (the Alternity sci-fi RPG), I’m hard at work on Book 3 of Breaker of Empires, and I’m also …
17 Novels: The Last Mythal
How about those Eagles? What a Superbowl! I’ve been an Eagles fan since the late ‘70s, when my family moved to the Jersey shore and I started following the local teams. I went to a few games in the Vet (Veterans Memorial Stadium), which was maybe the absolute worst of the “cookie-cutter” concrete stadiums built …
17 Novels: Condemnation
Sorry for the skipped week last time: On Wednesday I was down in Portland, conducting critical reconnaissance of the best taprooms to be found in the City of Roses. I belong to an elite team of beer aficionados known as Beer Team 6, and we have to go when we’re called. We take an early …
17 Novels: City of Ravens
What a weekend of football we just watched! I’m an Eagles fan, so I was delighted to see them rise up to the challenge of a fast, talented Atlanta team and beat the Falcons with a well-designed offensive game plan and an extraordinary defensive effort. (I was telling friends all week that I felt the …
17 Novels: Zero Point
Greetings! I’ve been working hard this week on nailing down the outline for Book 3 of my Sikander North series. I think it’s coming together pretty well; if you mix up Ali Pasha, Barbary pirates, and Great Power adventurism during the decline of the Ottoman Empire and put that situation in space with rail guns, …
17 Novels: Easy Betrayals
Happy New Year! I can’t believe that we’re already in 2018. Over the holidays I made a point of cutting back on my work schedule and resting up a bit; now that we’re on the other side of the break, it’s time to push hard on my next Sikander North manuscript, move Sasquatch’s Alternity SFRPG …
