I’ll put up an offical voting post tomorrow here and on the Facebook page.  I don’t get to vote. The winning patch becomes an offical part of the MHI universe, and will be mentioned in Monster Hunter Vendetta.  The timing is good, since I’m currently [...]

Deadlines

I’ve got a deadline to reach. I have one month to do my final revision of MHV and submit it.  If everything goes okay, then MHV will release in Fall 2010.
Now I’m off to edit. I love writing. Hate editing. Writing is fun. Editing is work!

I did a podcast interview with Sci-Fi Guys Book Review

I haven’t listened to this yet.  It seemed like it went really well, and the hosts are great guys.  Keep in mind that I’ve got a terrible cold, so I don’t always sound that goofy.

Check out their page while you’re there. I think they’ve got a great thing going.

Good news from the Book Deal Front!

I can’t elaborate too much yet, but let’s just say that there will be more of my books coming out from Baen, and probably not just ones set in the MHI universe.
MHI:2 is called Monster Hunter Vendetta. I’m revising the 2nd draft now.  MHV picks up several months after the events of MHI.
In related news, if you [...]

Take a Vet to Lunch

I saw this via Says Uncle. I think it is a great idea.

If you’re against health care “reform” it must be because you are illogical.

Priceless.  I love articles like this. When you disagree, it must be because there is something wrong with you, not their idea.  The article was written with a thin illusion of impartiality, where the whole thing is all about how one side is inflamed by their emotions, illogical, or being cooerced by peer pressure. Oh, and there’s one [...]

Quick ITRC report

I know many of you wanted a quicker update, but I got back from Wyoming at 3:00 AM Monday morning, and then got up at 6:00 AM to go to work. (very busy day, thank you, Air Force!)  I’m still fighting a cold, so went home, went to bed at 6:00 PM, and got up [...]

Come by and say hi.

Autographed copies and patches update

Okay, I didn’t make it to the post office this week.  I got sick and it totally wiped me out. I’m still sick, but I’m leaving for the ITRC tomorrow. 
I got 99% of the orders filled, autographed, addressed, and bagged. My wife will be taking them to the post office while I’m in Wyoming.
I’ve got [...]

Movie review: Order of the Black Eagle

As many of you know I am a connoisseur of bad movies.  Usually I stick with horror/monster movies and if the monster is a dude in a rubber suit, and the whole thing was filmed over one weekend by a bunch of college students, so much the better. Sometimes these movies are actually good, and [...]
