I’ve started toying with the idea of beginning work on Book 3. The baby’s three weeks old now and will occasionally sleep more then 3hrs in a stretch at night. But only occasionally. We probably won’t have any kind of routine for a few more months, but my wife only Read more…
Today is Pi Day, one of the best Geek holidays of the year. Celebrated the world over by eating delicious, delicious pie (though probably not, because in Europe today is 14.3, which is not Pi). After I finish writing this post, I’m off to the grocery store to pick up Read more…
This weekend contained what use to be my most hated day; the start of Daylight Savings Time. Losing an hour of your weekend is always sad. However, this year, it was barely noticed. With a newborn, time has a way of distorting and losing all meaning. Since my wife is Read more…
Free Book Day The free book day went amazingly yesterday. In all, 450 copies of Aristeia: Revolutionary Right were downloaded. It reached as high as 570 overall in the free category and #17 in the sci-fi free category. Someday, maybe it will get that high in the paid category. While Read more…
You know how I wrote yesterday about wishing I had some time to write but couldn’t being busy with a new kid? Well today, despite that, I embarked on a home improvement project. It seems crazy, but its much easier to do than writing while you are tired. Writing requires Read more…

We should finally get to go home from the hospital tomorrow. This is both a blessing and a curse. Much of the hospital stay has been helpful: Check-ups for Mom and baby to make sure everything’s working right Knowledgable people to answer questions (nurses, lactation consultants) Food delivered straight to Read more…
I have some less than friendly things to say about part of our hospital experience, but instead of that rant, I’d like to throw some praise around. Overall, the nursing staff here was great. It reminded me how underappreciated that job is but how vital. It requires a special type Read more…
Our son was born early this morning after three long days. We went in on Sunday night for an induction and had to end with a C-section at 3am on Wednesday morning. It was a long experience. We’ve had very little sleep over the last three days, less than 10hrs Read more…
I know, it’s quite unexpected to learn that a sci-fi author who enjoys playing video games is overweight. I guess I defy the stereotype. I’ve always been overweight. As far back as I can remember, I was chubby. My nickname in elementary school was “bubble butt”. Kids are kind. For Read more…
