A writing team married to their work…and each other.
So, I want to take a moment to talk about Vinland Saga, because as a fan of the manga I believe it’s one of the greatest exercises in storytelling that I’m aware of. The anime just started it’s second season, and it’s getting some beef in the comments section. You see, the piece of the…
The Gift of Grace series has always been good. This young adult series was rated as a hidden gem by reviewers as soon as it was released. It’s had some problems, though. Not in terms of the quality of the books–we still believe it’s some of the best urban fantasy out there. But in terms…
It’s Sunday and I’m writing this as I sit at my dealer’s table at LosCon. This, by the way, is a terrible idea; never type a blog post while you’re trying to run a table. It takes your focus away from potential customers and lowers your sales. Oops. Anyways, something has come up a number…
As an urban fantasy action-adventure author, I’m always trying to draw from my real life experience to fuel my fiction. I’m not sure if Esther and I’s voyage to LosCon is making that list–but it may end up in a horror story at some point. So it’s Wednesday, November 24, and the two of us…
So, Esther and I sat down to watch the big mid-November geek releases from Amazon Prime and Netflix. We’re geeks of many flavors, not just urban fantasy action-adventure.

It’s where I come to re-invigorate myself. To work with other authors, and find authors to work with me. To interact with my fans directly,…
For the last seven years, Esther and I have watched our writing career lift off the ground. We’re under solicited submission to Baen, we’ve got a well-loved urban fantasy series, we’ve got stories in anthologies from a whole host of different publishers. We’ve appeared as pros and dealers at WorldCon, World Fantasy, and Westercon in…
The two of us have opened our own publishing house. This is an interesting step, and it has been fraught with, well, fraughtiness. Anyways, it exists, and it has its own website, which can be viewed here. Enjoy!
The first Digital Glamour Story, Awakening, is available for pre-order on a number of different digital delivery systems. The 11th century, AD, was a bad time for fairies. In the West, William the Conqueror is victorious over the fey-assisted Saxons at the Battle of Hastings. The Kievan Rus complete their rise to power despite Baba…
We love Miscon. Alright, alright. Those of you who haven’t been are sitting there thinking “What’s Miscon? Where’s that?” Well, let’s start with this: it’s in Missoula. And it’s one of the best small cons there is. Yes, Missoula. Deal with it. I have a theory of why this convention is so awesome. You see,…
