We Write!
As I write this, I'm sitting out front of the hotel, listening to conversations on either side of me. At LibertyCon, this is hardly unusual. Now, that I'm doing this at half-past seven on Saturday morning... this con doesn't sleep. Seems like when we came back to the room at midnight, there were still a... Continue Reading →

After doing the usual minuet to get An Annoyance of Grackles live on Kindle and almost-there on Createspace, I’ve taken a couple of days off to be shamelessly frivolous. I indulged in Dorothy Grant’s new book, Shattered after Midnight – there's a review here – and watched a DVD I’ve been hoarding of the operetta Countess Maritza... Continue Reading →
When someone is dying, they will often have a last burst of rather feverish energy before the end: a short time when they feel a bit better and do a bit more than perhaps they should before succumbing to the inevitable. I've wondered sometimes if this not-quite-death-throes is the last attempt to fight for life... Continue Reading →
So, I finished a short story last week and put it up on Amazon yesterday. Should be a cause for celebration, right? Well, yes, but not the way you might think. You see, this short is one of four completed-but-not-edited manuscripts that I’ve been sitting on for an unconscionably long time. In my defense, two... Continue Reading →
Tomorrow morning we leave for Liberty Con at dark O'six, and I'm going through my usual oscillation: happy to go and see my friends, looking forward to meeting my fans again, dreading the travel and terrified of having to be with that many people for days -- DAYS I tell you! -- and away from...

I have a confession to make: I don’t know what’s going on in the world. Not just the world of publishing (not many actually do, to be honest), but the wider world. Mrs. Dave returned to us this past weekend, so life has been jumbled. She’ll be home for a (measly) couple weeks, and then... Continue Reading →
When I sat down in the much too early hours of the morning to write this post, I found myself at a loss. My brain is fried and the ability to come up with something new seemed beyond me. So, as I will often do when I'm unsure what to blog about, I started checking... Continue Reading →
The answer ‘whatever someone will pay for it’ is as true for liberty or access to a toilet or price of books. The former many people have paid everything they had for. It was that priceless to them. It’s the latter I’m writing about however, and the answer is ‘not much’ a lot of the... Continue Reading →
So, I dragged my tired and relaxed self home recently from an extended road and air trip. This is a bit of a ramble, so please bear with me. I'm still brain tired from functioning in multiple languages and time periods for three weeks or so. How did having four books launch within four weeks... Continue Reading →
