Welcome to 2012

And good riddance to 2011. Okay, it wasn’t that bad. My first novel, Impaler, was published electronically and dead tree, and my second novel, ConVent, was published electronically.

I’m more or less back after needing to rebuild my machine. Being a certified (or certifiable) geek, this meant a clean install of Ubuntu using the latest release (eye candy pretty, but it’s going to take a LONG to get used to close buttons on the left.

Progress – a little writing happened this week. I’m skittering from one thing to another without really settling to anything, which would be worrying if I didn’t know exactly why it’s happening – hello work stress. Unfortunately, this doesn’t get me much in the way of progress on new books. Scheduling stuff – booked LunaCon. Read More…
