The Burning Throne, Episode 10: The Nakado

Continued from: http://larrycorreia.wordpress.com/2011/12/16/the-burning-throne-episode-9-traitors-rice-merchants/  Christmas is over, so back to posting updates of this serial.  Kuni Magatsu was a new addition to the group, played by novelist Paul Genesse. Paul is exceedingly hard core. Paul is an awesome guy, and when he games, he is one of those really intense personalities that really gets into it. [...]

Cover of the Monster Hunters omnibus edition

I just barely got this. This is the cover of the new hardcover omnibus called The Monster Hunters. It contains MHI, MHV, and MHA. 

Give the gift of tetsubo this Christmas

What do you get for the hard to shop for man in your life? Out of ideas? How about a samurai war club? Because nothing says Christmas like a 14 pound stick that could brain a walrus. This is what my kids got me. It is completely impractical. It is ridiculously huge. I have no idea [...]

My favorite short story of all time, FREE today. Tabloid Reporter to the Stars

I’ve read a lot of short fiction in my life. If you would ask me to pick my one absolute favorite, it would be Tabloid Reporter to the Stars by Nebula award winner Eric James Stone. I originally read it out of an Intergalactic Medicine Show anthology (if I recall correctly). I’d read it, thought [...]

One of my short stories reviewed

http://elitistbookreviews.blogspot.com/2011/12/crimson-pact-volume-2.html  This is kind of awesome. Poor Steve.    For the record, when I first met Steve Diamond he had already reviewed some of my books on his book review page, Elitist Book Reviews, and enjoyed them. I’d bookmarked EBR and found that I agreed with them more often than not. The first time we met was at a [...]

CHRISTMAS NOUN 4: OCCUPY CHRISTMAS NOUN

Tis the season for Noun.  I know the time has come to begin my careful preparation of the Monster Hunter Nation’s annual Christmas Noun Celebration when all the stores begin putting out Christmas decorations, so mid-September. By early November I know it is really time to get writing because all radio stations switch to playing [...]

My Geeky Hobbies: Skorne Army

Because I hit my writing quota for the week, I got to treat myself. So last night I painted minis while streaming Monster Quest on Netflix. It doesn’t take a whole lot to make me happy. I still need to do the bases. I think these guys need some severed heads or something.

Random updates and fun with internet critics

Monster Hunter Legion is coming along. My deadline to have the rough draft done is the end of January, which I will hit. I was hoping to be on the 2nd draft by January and have the rough done by Christmas, but it has been busy, and Mrs. Correia is due to deliver Correia 2.4 [...]

Speaking of Schlock Mercenary, I forgot the board game

Howard launched a kickstarter project to fund the creation of a Schlock boardgame. It went absolutely crazy. I am impressed by his fan base. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1253203485/schlock-mercenary-the-board-game  Kickstarter is a pretty neat idea. You put your artistic projects up there, and the people who pledge don’t get charged unless it actually gets done. I will probably end up [...]
