It’s been a slow summer for my writing, but there are a few odds and ends worth reporting.
First, for those of you not already aware, Brimstone Turnpike is finally available. For the first time, my name graces the front page of Cemetery Dance’s website. Bask in the glory while you can. If you’ve ordered from [...]

It was a good ego stroke to get home and find people talking about me. If people aren’t talking about your books, people aren’t buying them. Not that I have any to sell right now… Maybe I should revise that: if people aren’t talking about your books, publishers have no reason to print them.
I almost [...]

You know it’s been a long week when you’re looking forward to going back to work and settling back in to a normal routine.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s been a good week. It’s always good to see Brian, Coop and Mikey and spend a few days with good food, good beer, and good cigars. I [...]

I don’t think I’ve done any kind of worldbuilding since my roleplaying days, or at least since I wrote that dark fantasy trunk novel 15 years(!!) ago. It’s just not something I’ve needed to do, as all of my work so far has been self-contained and fits easily into the real world. Even Muy Mal [...]

“How come you haven’t written any novels since Deadliest of the Species, Mike?”

They just suck.
Okay, I’ll rephrase that: they’re far from ready for publication, because with both I decided their execution was off. Way off. So far off that they need to be rewritten from the ground up, and I don’t have time [...]

I get asked once or twice a week how things are going with my writing, and given it’s been a while since I’ve talked about things here, I thought I’d save a few emails this week. These are the most active and/or most asked about projects.
POWERLESS
I’m proofreading the existing material, which is about eight chapters [...]

It’s been an interesting start to the year already, but there’s a lot on the horizon.
For starters, Muy Mal is officially back, complete with a rockin’ new look provided by Russ Dickerson. John and Weston have already posted their first contributions and mine won’t be far behind. I’ll be wrapping up Down Vendetta Road and [...]
