Blog postIt's February, Black History Month.
Science Fiction is on the rise and with it Black authors spreading the words of the universe. What better way to celebrate and reflect on Black achievement. Last November Book Riot compiled a list of 11 Black SciFi authors to read right now. I was featured in the article for the Core trilogy Omnibus, Threads of Conceit. I encourage you to check out the review along with the other amazing authors. Just click this link and have at it.

Blog postWe're coming back around to another Worldcon, this time taking place in San Jose, CA. And, of course I am running all over trying to get last minute graphics printed and waiting on boxes of books to arrive for inspection. Preparing for big conventions is a lesson in chaos. There is so much to to consider logistics wise. How big is the space? What are you bringing? What equipment or accessories do you need? Pricing, placement, staging, etc. It's like having fun in a whirlwind of hell. You know y

Blog postIt’s that most wonderful time of the year again. Moments of good cheer, curling up in front of the fireplace with a hot cup of sweet liquid and a good book are in season. Especially for those of you who like a bit of nightmare and despair. That’s right, I’m not talking about Thanksgiving or Christmas. Halloween is upon us! Prepare yourself.
This is a great time to revisit two titles that bring the shivers and gore
Tired of the usual scary tales with happy endings? Are Creepsh -

Blog postYes. So you've noticed. I have been absent for quite some time. There's a perfectly legitimate reason for it. You see, as much I would love to write full time and not work for the man, I still have to pay bills. Thus, I am now wholly employed by a big corporation working 12 hour shifts. An excuse? Not really. I like to think of it as a temporary set back.
That being said, I have three more books to kick out before the dreaded December which marks the end of 2016. My five year plan is to ge -
Blog postWorldcon was held in Spokane Washington this year which is somewhat close to home. Or so I thought. Nine hours watching the most boring scenery go by and then tumbled into the Convention Center for booth set up. My plan right out of the gate was to shmooze with the elite, pick their brains, maybe learn a new trick or two. Over the next five days after arriving, I did just that and also attended some really awesome panels.
Book sales were minimal but I had a inkling of that going in. -
Blog post"Editing is fun!" -- No one, EVAR!" Sean Hoade www.seanhoade.com
Book three, Bonds of Contrition is done and now in the editing process and I am amazed by my progress. It was daunting at first, going one word at a time, line by line, becoming more painful by the hour. Core of Confliction was one story. As I went through, I found that some of the elements were so far ahead of the main story that I decided to split it. Yes, it had turned into a two book thing. In the mid -

Blog postSo I went to CthulhuCon PDX over the weekend and was, to say the least, mind blown.
While waiting in the lobby for registration, I encountered Sean Hoade, Leeman Kessler, David Heath and Michael Carlyle. We take an awesome pic together. Great start I would say. But wait...there's more. It gets even better.
Day One
Panels: The first panel was Neo-Paganism and Lovecraft. Had no idea there was some correlation so I got educated on the subjects. Next up I sat in on Dracula vs -
Blog postThis weekend marks the kick off of CthulhuCon in Portland, Oregon and I am gearing myself up for the extreme weirdness. Any one who grew up on B rated horror and science fiction is aware of the twisted world created by H.P. Lovecraft. The sheer mind fuckery of it is what drew me to his work and may have influenced my affection for psycho thrillers and gore.
I have been to many fantasy, comic and science fiction conventions but never one solely dedicated to one creator's work. The nam -

Blog postIn the process of reinventing myself and giving my work an upgrade, I have found that one thing all authors get all manic about: Cover Art. You see, we can write stories til the cows come home but if there is no cover for the book...well.
Now, we could just slap one on and call it a day but that benefits no one. Who's going to pick up a book with a crappy cover and hope the contents is better than the outside? We DO judge a book by its cover, let's not be dishonest with ourselves here. -
Blog postI posted this on my wordpress but felt it should be here as well.
So far 2015 has produced two flops in the science fiction film category; Jupiter Ascending and Chappie. The one thing they both have in common, as fervent scifi reviewers bluntly pointed out, is their lack of a good plot. The sad part…we all really wanted to love these movies. Under developed plot seems to be the case for many films in that genre as of late. I remember back in the day (yes I’m talking late 70’s into the
