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…

The Direction Money Should Flow
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…
The Nightmare Before Thanksgiving
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…
A Tale of Two Adaptations
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. We started with Amazon’s Wheel of Time adaptation. Now, let me start by saying two things. First off, I love me some Robert Jordan. I was always…
What’s up, Orycon?
Life’s been rough for us fantasy authors these last couple of years. A convention – a live, in-person, science fiction convention – is, for me, the equivalent of Geek Church. 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,…
On Going Home to Spocon

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…
Impulsive Walrus Books exists!
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!

Miscon Report: The Greatest Little Convention in the World
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,…
Westboro Wannabes Picket Norwescon
So, I’m in my hotel room at Norwescon. I don’t have a dealer table, and my panel appearances are kinda limited, so I’m making the best of it by getting as much done on Black Powder Goddess as I can. I’m deep into revisionland when all of a sudden a load, distorted voice from a…
