Blog post“The Library...” Something about her voice must have been odd, the way Brevity cut off mid-argument to turn to her. The quiet eddied around the table, but Claire didn’t care. The thought took shape, and then the thought grew teeth, and her voice was a frosted edge. “This was never a library. What do you think makes a library? A room full of books? A coincidental accumulation of shelves and paper? We were never a library...” — THE GOD OF LOST WORDS, A.J. Hackwith Today the cover o

Blog postIt’s a mere 16 hours until THE ARCHIVE OF THE FORGOTTEN is released upon the world! That means it’s past time for my content notes post. First, the serious bit:
Content Warnings for ARCHIVE Trauma: characters deal with the aftermath of traumatic incidents in first book
Body horror: in the form of a character getting physically (temporarily) altered, some characters disappearing/changing
Haunting/Voices: a character deals with hearing/seeing things others do not

Blog postHere’s the news: I’ve started a Patreon! And I’m running a special limited edition gift to celebrate (see below).
Here’s why: Writing is hard. Writing while trying to Do A Capitalism, in the year of our lord 2020, is incredibly hard. Maybe it’s been hard for you, too.
I’ve been struggling lately with the signal-to-noise balance; engaging with people and readers as I love to do, getting the word out so you can get your hands on more stories, while actually carving out the time to -

Blog postI will be hopping on a plane to Dublin in a few days for Worldcon! It’s my first Worldcon, even! I’ll be at the con and conducting a pilgrimage to the many famous Dublin libraries. (DEFINITELY including the Book of the Kells and the Long Room at Trinity College, pictured above.) If you’re also going to be in attendance, here’s where I’m at on programming:

Blog postA lot of writers are doing end of year publishing or awards eligibility round-ups this time of year. While I'm not quite to that point yet, what I am doing is gearing up for some really exciting writing projects and setting up my new year bullet journal to keep track of all the plotting.
I loved bullet journaling when I started puttering with it last year, but it took me a while to figure out the custom set-up that works for my freelance, writery needs. The bullet journal communit -
Blog postIt's a weird time, so I'm gonna do a weird thing. I’m going to talk about anxiety.
Yes, this election was tragic. There's a hundred articles today talking about things that people of color and the LGBTQ+ community has known all along and the rest of us are just learning hard lessons about. And many more filled with good, solid, practical advice on how to fight back. You should go, read all of those. I'll wait. Most acknowledge what many of us are feeling, but the assumption -
Blog postLast week I attended Viable Paradise, a workshop for writers of science fiction and fantasy held each year in Martha’s Vineyard. Part of the research before applying to Viable Paradise included the inevitable googling for alumni and reviews. Viable Paradise’s reputation was generally glowing, but one theme that popped up over and over again and dominated reviews was the sense of community and friendship. How welcome students felt, the friends they left with.

Blog postHappy book news. Untethered: A Magic iPhone anthology is available for pre-orders today [update: now available everywhere] and the very first story is ERROR: Kappa Not Found, my very first anthology sale. To celebrate, I got some backstory and a free sneak peek at ERROR: Kappa Not Found.

Blog postIf you’re a reader like me, your library of books can quickly grow unwieldly. Luckily, the Kindle comes equipped with user-defined “collections” which allows you to sort your library into manageable categories or tags.
Update: note that this process is for the old keyboard-style Kindle and not up to date with the modern Kindle Paperwhite UI interface.Creating a Kindle Book Collection Creating a collection on the Kindle is pretty easy:
