Have you subscribed? Nothing better than a new short story every week, right in your inbox…. Just sayin.

Oh wow. I didn't even know this would be a think, ever. Time for a re-read! (I bought my son The Talisman for Xmas after he devoured The Stand.)

Without naming your (day) job, tell me something you say over and over again at work: “Is the release going out today or not?”

Also, super-excited to have ebook versions of my novels coming soon to Bookshop.org along with my trade paperbacks. Bookshop.org is good people. bookshop.org/beta-search?...

The nice thing about blizzard conditions outside is that I have no guilt about being inside all day working on my novel and other busy work on the laptop. In front of the fire... #cuphalffullbutfrozen

This was a quirky, sneak, clever story that had a great ending. Sign up and read it!

Got a nifty lil chapbook in the mail from Appalachia Book Company. It’s tiny! But looks like a good read.

Greetings from the tundra of western North Carolina (5 degrees, windchill of -20 this morning!). The horses were not pleased…

Highly recommended! Grab a copy!

Great tip! Just set it up for my account, so I don't forget...

Over at my Patreon page I have a new story to share! This story's a fun one, because it features Burt from the Family Pack series, and this guy is always fun to write. Burt's a twentysomething slacker who thinks he's a ladies man and who also likes the sound of his own voice...

Please, never be shy telling an author you loved their books. It’s seriously what gets us through.

Okay, now I get it re: "K-Pop Demon Hunters". That was a ton of fun. And man, the music's great!

This is a fascinating article. Keep it up, ICE Watch. And everyone else standing up.

Wow. I love these process posts, by one of the best fantasy artists out there.

Barn cats, doing what barn cats do best (might have to zoom in a bit…). #farmlife

So nice living in a college town!

Take that, chapter 7! For some reason I got stuck on this one for a few days, even though it's a fun chapter with three of my favorite characters on a road trip. Sometimes you just have to go back to the start of the chapter and make yourself go at it, even if you're not feeling it...

Whenever I discover a new writer, I like to go right to their website to check them out. First, I like to compare their website to mine (and see if there are any tips or tricks I could borrow), and second, I try to figure out which book of theirs I should start reading. So...

Speaking of bookshop.org!!

Some nice news this morning -- I just learned that my new novel is finally available on the (awesome) bookshop.org site as a lovely trade paperback! #books #booksky #mahbook bookshop.org/p/books/augi...

69% (heh heh heh) Dang, it's been a productive year -- revised and rewrote the last 1/2 of a novel (Lost & Finders), finished a novel-in-stories that I started last year, and got about 1/4 of the way, maybe, on a new novel in my Finder Team series (The Finder Pack). More next year!!

Y’all might not appreciate it, but it took him 87 moves and 14 hours to get here

This was a great article, made me smile, and reminded me not to self-edit: sfalexandria.com/posts/rileys... (hat tip to Tim Ferriss’s Friday newsletter)

Rolled over the 100k mark for new words written this year! It's been a long time since I wrote this much (I had a 5+ year hiatus from about mid-2018 to early 2024). So excuse me while I brag on myself! :)

It's about to be sequel time! "As I Still Lay Dying"... Or maybe not... lol

Finally finished writing that dang chapter that I’d been stuck on (in) forever. And now it has an ending I didn’t see coming. Sweet….

If you haven’t been reading, you’ve been missing out.

Today is the go-live day for my historical and (hopefully) humorous (with a hint of the fantastic) novel Augie and Ozzy Take Back the Mountain!!

Aww, that nice person in my email wants to give my novel “the visibility it deserves.” I guess the first step would be getting the title right in the email… they weren’t even close! lol

This is the story I've been waiting almost a year to share with the world.

Nice one, Onion!!

Snow day!!

Hey, folks, please consider grabbing a copy of this anthology. I hope to keep it going.

Oh snap, time to take a road trip to the Osher Map Library!!!

It's kind of great when you find the right images and put them together and it's... magic:

Get thee to a great big monitor for this!

“Barf machine operator”…. Wonder what that pays?

I can highly recommend this!

I need to buy an RLP T-shirt for myself for Xmas…

For the month of December, the good folks at UnWrecked Press are including two of my novels in a new fantasy and paranormal series sale at https://books.bookfunnel.com/fantasy-paranormal-series-sale/8pvnre1d2l!!

My 18-y.o. picked up @stephenking.bsky.social's THE STAND a month ago (at an actual BOOK store), and he's tearing through it as fast as he can. It's been a blast reliving the end of the world with him. Bonus: we get to watch the still-pretty-awesome 1994 adaption as soon as he finishes a section!

I am furiously trying to get all my website updates (covers! so many covers...) and various marketing stuff (trying out some BookFunnel stuff) and all that other necessary stuff that just EATS up my time by the end of the day today. So I can focus all December on the New Novel. Ha. Wish me luck.

It's been a loooong time since I've been able to announce this, but... I have an all-new novel coming out! This new novel is called Augie and Ozzy Take Back the Mountain, and it's a book I've been wanting to write for years.
