I’m excited to present to my newest middle-grade story, They Call Me…Wyatt Lee. This one is by far the longest of my Adventure Kids series, reaching true novella length. Nevertheless, it’s as long as it needed to be, with all the jokes, action, and weird aliens I could cram into it. I call it The Last Starfighter meets Galaxy Quest and Super Mario Kart. The Adventure Kids books are perfect for kids 9-12, and each paperback includes some pages for kids to personalize their book with drawings, perhaps inspired by the story. And the ebooks are only $1.99. Just two bucks! Vrooom-a-zoom-zoom~! Get yours now!

Several years ago, I had the idea that wanted to do a kind of neo-pulp character, like the Shadow, or Doc Savage, or Conan, somebody larger than life. I wanted to tell pulpy stories, but with a more modern sensibility. What came out of that brainstorming was a phrase that I couldn’t get out of my head, and I don’t know where it came from, Black Rose in the Garden of Eden. From that phrase came the character Black Rose, a nineteenth century sorceress who wears a tricorne hat and carries a bullwhip. One of the hallmarks of larger-than-life characters isContinue readingWhere the Devil Resides – Now in Trade Paperback!

I’m super-excited to show you the new cover for my steampunk horror novella, Where the Devil Resides.

The artist here is Vincent Sammy, an illustrator from South Africa. I hired him when I discovered that he was the artist who the cover for the issue of Apex Magazine where my story “Screaming Without a Mouth” appeared in March 2016. He calls this one, however, his “favorite cover ever.” He really knocked it out of the park. CheckContinue readingCover Reveal!

I attended my first ever Nebula Awards Conference this weekend, virtually, of course. What should have been a joyous occasion, sharing a weekend of camaraderie with science-fiction- and fantasy-writing colleagues, celebrating the nominees and winners of the best speculative fiction of the past year, was overshadowed by the ongoing horrors and injustices taking place all across U.S. soil. It cast a pall over every panel discussion, every conversation. We all felt it. We all talked about it. So, I feel like I would be remiss with you if I didn’t at least address the fact that we are living through anContinue readingThe World Burns
