I just want to reiterate this. Because it’s absolutely happening.
The AI dystopia won't be gun toting drones or algorithmically selected bombing runs. It'll be when the pyramid scheme of investment and funding that's propping up AI collapses, and the economy along with it.

Thirty-three (and a half!) years ago, this fountain witnessed the first moments of our relationship. We had to come by one last time before we moved to wish it well!

I'm pleased to announce that Baen has formally reverted the rights to Wraithbound. This means I'm free to start producing books two and three (once I write them, ahem). There are good things in the works, my friends. Good things indeed!

Given the thematic similarity between my next project and Isles of Emberdark, I'm curious to see how it does. Will the Sander Sons and Dottirs follow him into that kind of setting?

We're renting a place this week, and it happens to have Netflix. So the wife and I finally watched the first few episodes of The Witcher last night.
That's a pretty good show.

Had a great interview with David from the Garagehammer podcast. We talked gaming, writing, books, and story. Give it a listen!

I'm disappointed we weren't able to get one last Dragon for Howard Jones. People rise, people fade away, and all we're left with are memories. Even those go, eventually.

Being in publishing has inured me to the rejection inherent in selling our house. But it has also trained me to keep checking the zillow entry to see how many people have saved the listing.
