Why does it take a case of insomnia to get me to blog?

I have no idea.

First, let me apologize for not blogging since sometime the first of summer.

I meant to…I really did.

It wasn’t that I didn’t have anything to say, but rather I had so much to say that I’ve been writing my fanny off and leaving no time or stamina to actual contribute here.

So, you may be wondering when my next fantastic novel or story will be available. After all, I’ve been working on a number of creative projects since February. And the truth of the matter is, well, hmmm, I don’t know.

You see the issue is that I’m still shopping around my latest novel, which isn’t exactly science fiction, but more horror based. I haven’t found a publisher and I spent the bulk of the winter writing and revising this story—which doesn’t have a home yet.

So while you can’t readily see the fruits of my labor and absence, I assure you I have been very busy with writing.

I’ve just come from Coppercon down in Tempe, Arizona, and I must say I had a pleasant time, sold a few books and even had a people show up to hear me read from Zephyr Unfolding—Thanks, Amy and David!

My next appearance will be at Milehicon in Denver, the latter part of October. Stop in and say hi! To me if you’re in the Denver area.

Hopefully, now that I’ve had some down time and well, a bout of insomnia, I’ll be contributing to this blog again.

Oh, I almost forgot. You have approximately 22 days to purchase print copies of Browne Candidate and The Soul Cages. After September 30th, they will be out of print!
So, if you still haven’t secured a copy, I recommend you don’t delay any longer. Use the links on my website to get the goods before they’re g-o-n-e!
