Remember when I did the Prohibition Orcs Kickstarter campaign? My hope was to raise enough to pay for Eddie Sharam’s painted covers. Instead, it broke $12,000. I was stunned. I was also unwise. When I created the campaign, I said that at $10,000 I would write a Prohibition Orcs baseball tale and send it to […]
My newest collection, Apocalypse Moi, is assembled. It contains a bunch of chapbooks that are about to go out-of-print, plus some stuff that was only published in anthologies, plus an original time travel story and a brand-new Prohibition Orcs tale. I’m waiting for the printer to approve the PDFs to get the print, but I […]
What if some daft bugger got an invitation to submit to an exclusive Valentine’s Day anthology, and wrote the story, but wrote it with orcs? It would get rejected, that’s what. But the editor would remember it. And the other folks who read it would remember. And eventually, a sufficient number of them would say […]
Me in 2015: “You write apocalyptic SF, high adventure SF, modern crime thrillers, and cozy mystery, plus the odd bit of fantasy. You write too many fiction genres. Don’t start writing urban fantasy.” Me in 2016: “Don’t write urban fantasy.” Me in 2017: “Don’t write urban fantasy.” Me in 2018: “Don’t write urban fantasy.” Me […]
This won’t be in stores for a few weeks yet, but the Kickstarter backers have a copy so you get one too. If you create an account on https://my.bookfunnel.com before you click on the link, BookFunnel will keep a copy for you to re-download later. They can also help you get the book onto your […]
I have quite the backlog of short stories that I need to throw into the world. One of my goals for this year is to get the dang things out in the world. The Rats’ Man’s Lackey and the Half Gallon of Christmas Miracle is the first of those. A Private Eye in Supernatural Witness […]
The ebook of “OpenBSD Mastery: Filesystems” is now available for Patronizers with the Digital Reader benefit. The print file is going to the printer today. We’ll spend the next few days doing the Approval Dance. Then I’ll rush-order proofs, make sure they’re okay, and order your books for delivery. I should get your print books […]
Hi, If you back me at Digital Reader or above, I have books for you! No, not the OpenBSD book. That one’s out for tech review. If you want a preview, drop me a note and I’ll be happy to send the unedited, unreviewed draft. (Feel free to review it and tell me exactly how […]
Hi folks, This book took far longer than I hoped. I blame the Moon. Download your book before the end of March. I need to add some more words here to avoid the preview, so: This is the first tech book I’m distributing directly from BookFunnel. Bookfunnel keeps copies of all the books you’ve downloaded […]
For those who hadn’t heard: I finally wrote a book on writing. It was partly to make people stop asking me for writing advice, and partly because I finally found an empty space in a glutted market. Most of you back me for tech books, but for good or ill Patronizers get copies of everything. […]
