I had a ton of emails from everyone, who wanted to know *exactly* who from the previous series, Imperial Hammer, got to hang around for the new series, Iron Hammer. Apparently, I was a bit too vague about who got the chop. 🙂 I’m currently watching the thrust and parry between the producers of Star […]

I’ve been waiting a while to tell you about my new series and the first book in it. There was a lot of other stuff to get out of the way first, though. But finally…! I’m launching a new spin-off series to the Imperial Hammer series which finished last month. This series is called Iron

The last book in a series is always difficult to write, in one respect, because there is a lot of wrapping up to do. Plus the story has to be, well, worth the effort of reading all the books that led up to it. And the same time, the last book in a series is

I really like short SF. It’s where I got my start in SF, reading the golden age stories by Asimov, Heinlein, etc., etc. I couldn’t acquire the new era SF that was being published right then because I was still in Australia at the time, and only a limited amount of international fiction made its
Today is the release of the final episode of Season 3 of Star Trek: Discovery. We held off watching it until we could binge. We started last week and squeezed in three episodes before work bore down on us and we had to give up our evenings to getting stuff done. I’m looking forward to

The video went viral in our corner of the world. The premier of my province has been far more conservative, talking about

Boundary Shock Quarterly is a SF anthology that <gasp> publishes every season. They have a core roster of authors and occasionally reach out and invite guest authors. I was invited to write for their “Lawmen and Crime Fighters” issue, which was released today. My story introduces a brand new character: Ptolemy Jovan Lane, a unique

Home Alone’ish In the last week, my provincial government shut down the province. The borders are closed, as are all public facilities except for hospitals, pharmacies and grocery stores and a handful of other essential services. My household is also considering self-isolating for a month, just to help flatten the curve of demand upon the

Because I always release books on Wednesday, and the Indigo Reports series was released three weeks apart, the release of the very last book landed on Christmas Day. Which made me reflect that Christmas rarely shows up in science fiction. I can’t think of a single SF novel that even mentions Christmas, let alone has
