Immortal at Sea for free is ending
Permafree end date Starting this weekend, I’ll be moving Immortal at Sea out of permafree and back to its original $2.99 price. It’s been a fun three weeks with a large number of free downloads. I’m not telling you how many, only because I haven’t gone to every site and added them up. A lot, though.…

Read MoreSFWA and me
Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America Back in 2012, I was enjoying the first big success of my career. Immortal had taken off–not in the mega-best-seller sense, but in the “oh shit, I’m making real money” sort of way. That might not sound like a huge deal to you unless you happen to also be…

Read MoreNew HuffPo article: Quitting?
Wait, I could just quit? I have a new article up at the Huffington Post this afternoon. I didn’t know quitting was an option. I imagine that sounds a little like a derivation of one of those motivational-slash-inspirational mantras that someone with a title like “life coach” shouts at an unreasonable volume, or possibly the…
