On The Sportcat Show Tonight
Glen “Sportcat” Jackson will have me on his program tonight (January 21, 2026) at 9PM Eastern. You can find it here. Glen bills himself as a Boss Jock, firefighter, and paramedic. Any one of those would be reason enough to tune in. He also runs a show on a station dedicated to first responders called…Read More
House of Mystery Radio Show on NBC with Alan R. Warren
Shortly after Spark was published, Al Warren invited me to be on his radio program. It was a great experience – he’s very easy to talk to and his co-host that day, David Marino, helped keep things moving. Now that Embers is out, he invited me back. It was another great experience with a bestselling…Read More
Now I’m back
I’ve been a little quiet since the Book Launch party we had in October. I needed to recharge my batteries and enjoy the holidays with my family. Now I’m back. My publicity team – Mickey Mikkelson (@MikkelsonMickey) of Creative Edge and @AimeeRavichandran of Abundantly Social – have started cracking the whip. They have lined up…Read More
Embers Book Launch
I’m still recovering. Many thanks to all those who helped organize and execute the official Embers Book Launch. The turnout was exceptional, with some people standing in the back of the venue. People came from all over. For a book launch. I was humbled. We did all the standard things: First, I read from the…Read More
Book Review – The Land Beyond The Waste
Here’s my book review of Peterson’s The Land Beyond the Waste. It’s her debut novel – high fantasy full of political intrigue, magic, human-elf conflict, and, of course, dragons. These aren’t your ordinary flying, fire-breathing dragons that do as they’re told. These dragons are telepathic magic users with wills of their own who only pitch…Read More
When Ducks Attack
It was a muggy morning; the buzz of cicadas filled the air. I’d taken care of the dogs and was heading out for some exercise of my own. As I turned the first corner, I saw motion ahead. One of our local waterfowl had achieved target lock and was waddling toward me on an intercept…Read More
Ash is Live!
I mentioned a while back that I was going to give Kindle Vella a shot with the final novel in the Spark Chronicles. Episode 1 of Ash is now live and can be found here. I asked the cover artist for a few changes and she came through. I wanted the Morrigan figure to be…Read More
Back to the Future of ComicPalooza
Aside from hurricanes and tornadoes, one of the things that can generate 1.21 gigawatts of enthusiasm in Texas is ComicPalooza. This year there are more celebrities than ever, a bigger cosplay crowd, and a pretty cool NASA/STEM tie-in. With the tornado in the past and most of the lights being back on, I can finally…Read More
Rethinking Survival
We live in Houston and last Thursday got hit with a Spielberg-class storm. 100 mph winds, heavy rain, memorable lightning. We’re well away from the nearest pond/lake and a turtle ended up in our yard. Power was out for 3 days and is back on now. Three cheers for AC! Since we live in a…Read More
ComicPalooza is coming
ComicPalooza is almost here! As most of you know, CP is the one BIG event I do every year. It’s been that way since Pfitz invited me to go with him for undisclosed reasons. (Ask Christy). Sir Pat was there and the whole event was pretty cool. This year, we’re going bigger than ever. Last…Read More
