the nerdy resemblance is uncanny... I'm going to be gone for a little while. I am using the term AWOL a bit ironically here, since I am, in fact, heading off for some military training. For the first couple weeks, my internet/computer situation will be poor at best. As such, I won't be able to … Continue reading Going AWOL for a Bit

Indefinite Hiatus
I have not been very good at keeping up with this blog as of late. It's not something I feel the need to apologize for--sometimes life just happens. For the past year, year and a half, I have been on and off of active duty military orders. The pay was good, at least better than … Continue reading Indefinite Hiatus
Radio Silence
No, I'm not dead. Not in body, at least. I've got a lot going on these days, and I've had to prioritize my writing time. That mean's the blog has not been getting much love. Instead, I have a much more significant project I am working on right now with all my Of Metal and Magic authors. … Continue reading Radio Silence
Introducing D.W.T. Smith
Let me introduce to you all the newest member of the Of Metal and Magic team, D.W.T. Smith. He is penning a new series for OMAM that follows shortly after the upcoming Call of the Guardian Season 2 in the historical timeline of Soria. Here is a quick summary of Smith's story concept so far: "My second WIP … Continue reading Introducing D.W.T. Smith
A Signed Copy
I started following Syd Logsdon over a year ago. At the time, I had no idea who he was, other than a fellow writer, and one who had many helpful things to say about the craft. Did you know Syd Logsdon was published by Del Rey in 1979? And Pocket Books/Timescape in 1981? I sure … Continue reading A Signed Copy
Shout Out to Annlyel
Despite having a relatively small blogger community, I somehow end up with lots of "blogger award" nominations. I'm not going to dive into the nitty gritty this time, but I do want to thank Annlyel James for the nomination. If you don't know, she is a Star Wars and pop culture super-fan, and her blog … Continue reading Shout Out to Annlyel
Tag, I’m it!
I’ve been nominated by the great M.L. Davis for Writers Tag, which was originally set up by Lorraine Ambers and Ari Meghlen. Like other "blog awards" this one is meant to get bloggers talking about themselves (and also as a means to get ping backs). As such, the rules are very similar: Post the Tag and Image on … Continue reading Tag, I’m it!
Mystery Blogger Award
Fellow fantasy author Roderick T. Macdonald nominated me to this award recently. Probably because he knows how uncomfortable I get talking about myself. I can talk your ear off about my books, or fantasy in general, but I don't find myself to be as interesting a character as the ones I create. I also am … Continue reading Mystery Blogger Award
Updates, and Going AWOL (Again!)
Hello Everyone, I might be AWOL for a long while. I will be heading off for about six weeks of legal and leadership training tomorrow. At this point, I am not sure what sort of internet connection I will have at my destination, nor how much free time I will have. As such, it could … Continue reading Updates, and Going AWOL (Again!)
Buy me a drink, beautiful?
I've added a new widget to my website. It looks like this: What this thing does is link to my Ko-Fi page. If you haven't yet heard of Ko-Fi, it's a donation platform for small businesses and artists where each donation is roughly equal to the price of a coffee. Thus most buttons say "Buy … Continue reading Buy me a drink, beautiful?
