These guys are planning a June launch. With a dummy for a test, but eventually they’re hoping to ride a rocket like this. Claustrophobic anyone?
Unbundled Mondays: Short Story Smooth Talking
May 31st 2011 at 12:04 pm
This week’s Unbundled Short Story is ‘Smooth Talking.’ For Marcus, it was bad enough to find an old work buddy out in the forest talking to the trees.

7 days at sea: the beginning
May 25th 2011 at 2:23 pm
As some of you know I spent 7th grade through my senior year living on a boat in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas. The sea’s been something I call home, even though I currently live in Ohio. I love being a writer, but if I weren’t, I’d certainly be a sailor or working on or with [...]
Nascence update
May 25th 2011 at 10:59 am
I realized that while I did change the price on Nascence at Amazon.com and B&N, I forgot to do it on the page here on my website where you can buy the ePub direct from me. It’s now $2.99 everywhere. I also finally got around to creating the page for Nascence on the site here. [...]

But who is the most damaged by this symbiosis of races? The whiffets, [...]
I’ve been at sea for the last week
May 19th 2011 at 12:32 pm
So what was up with my all email and twitter silence for a whole week? I’ve been at sea for the last week. I flew down to St. Thomas where I met my sister, who works as cook and crew aboard a 90 foot yacht that needed an extra hand for an ocean trip. We [...]

May 16th 2011 at 9:59 am
I’m posting this from the past, so here’s hoping this works as a scheduled blog post. The Fish Merchant should be available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Since I don’t have the direct links, I’m setting up a search that should take you right to it. Good luck!
