LAUNCH DAY! The Heron Kings Rampant is out today. Physical copies are only from scAmazon unfortunately. You can get Hardcover and Paperback both. I wouldn’t really recommend the hardcover, it’s case laminate only, meaning no dust jacket. But that’s the best you can hope for with KDP. The Kindle Ebook is 99 cents right now,…
It doesn’t seem that long ago I was putting titles and phrases from my fiction into that Wombo Dream AI app and getting out some very abstract, very hot pink AI-generated images. Now in the blink of an eye you can get more or less realistic portraits. I tried Midjourney, which is incredible but I…
Last year I began the process of commissioning new cover art for my fantasy trilogy The Heron Kings. I had always hated the generic covers my former publisher had stuck me with, and I partially blame them for the books’ failure to sell. I was hoping I could, at some point, get them to change…
The First Rule is the first entry in Steven William Hannah’s new series The Blind Age. This story blends conventional fantasy elements with new twists on familiar tropes with a laser-focused story that lets readers know exactly what they’re in for. In this foundational volume, readers are introduced to main character Venalia, a brand-spankin’-new…
Iron Curtain is the latest in the Sherman Iron detective thriller series by Bowen Greenwood. The books follow the eponymous small town Montana reporter as he fights to publish the truth while dodging bullets from the vicious drug cartel that has taken up residence. In this fifth installment, the story stands alone and can be…
Once in awhile, it’s a good idea to look back and see how far you’ve come. Or fallen, depending on your perspective. Recently I was going through an old external hard drive with years of nested folders named “Stuff”, “Old Desktop” and other unhelpful descriptors. I found some samples of things I’d written long ago,…
No, that’s not the title of my next book, though it would be a good one. The year of betrayal is how I’ll remember 2022. A bit dramatic, yeah, but what else do you expect from me? This year was when the last flickers of my authorship goals were unceremoniously snuffed out. Oh, I’m not…
I’ve been dropped by my publisher. After branding these books as a series (not my idea), saddling me with shit covers and doing no promotion, they’ve decided not to publish The Heron Kings Rampant, the final volume of the trilogy cause of no sales. Class move guys, thanks for wrecking my dream. I’ll add more…
A Dishonored Themed Book Nook I’ve been seeing these ‘book nook’ things pop up lately. They go in between books on shelves, and they look like a little miniature world, sometimes with clever tricks to make them look like they lead off into another space larger than they are. For some reason most of them…
Recently my “publisher” tried to coerce me into making some inane videos of myself on…shudder…Tiktok. Christ. Of course I refused. If you look at any other section of this site you’ll know I’m not too interested in plastering my ugly face all over, well, anyfuckinwhere. It won’t sell any books and it’ll just mortify me.…
