I will be at RavenCon in Richmond, VA once again. I’m conducting one of my workshops on Friday night, plus I’ll be on Programming. Additionally, I’ll be selling (and signing) books in the Dealer’s Room at the Tannhauser Press table. Come by and see me…and enjoy the convention, too. Their event campus is awesome!
I had a great time as the Chief Organizer of the Hourlings 3rd Annual Writing Workshop Day at the the Rust Library in Leesburg, VA on March 22, 2025. More importantly, we had an awesome and enthusiastic audience of local writers who had a great time as well.
Join the Hourlings Writing Group for a day of workshops, ideation exercises, and panel discussions. From creating memorable characters to assembling the quintessential action scene, learn how to take your writing to the next level and ignite your creativity.
It’s the 1840’s in a steampunk fantasy world where magic exists alongside science. Europe has been ruled by a triumphant Empire of France…at least until the Elvish Dominion decides to “do something” about humanity. The Dominion goes to war with the major nations of the world, helped by their Fey allies and the magically bred soldiers, the Orakai, they’ve created and enslaved to fight for them. Magically powered airship fleets clash in the sky as battle rages across the world.
My friend, fellow author, and editing collaborator passed away on December 24th after a more than four year struggle with cancer. We met through the Hourlings, the writing group that we’d both been part of for the last twelve or more years. Over the years, she’s copyedited, and sometimes edited, just about every story I’ve published, and that’s after critiquing them in our writing group.
My Author Chow entries are dedicated to the premise that authors, like armies, require sustenance or they don’t do what they’re supposed to be doing (hint: writing). This time, I’m featuring the non-traditional Thanksgiving dinner that my wife and I jointly prepared this year.
My latest book, “Dustbowl Detective,” launches today. My story is a futuristic crime story set in a world ravaged by climate change, set in my Inflection Point universe.
Come join me for Worldcon 2024, the World Science Fiction Convention, in Glasgow, Scotland from August 8 – 12! For various reasons, including, um, the Pandemic, I haven’t been to a Worldcon since Dublin in 2019, so I am BEYOND excited to be going. Come see me at the con!!!
