Wow, you can tell how I’m busy I am by how much time goes between updates here. On a personal level, I’m on a new medication (Humira) for the health issues that have plagued me since 2013, and it seems to be helping a lot. I’m taking sharp advantage of that renewed energy to get to work catching up on various …
Monster Academy Debut Day Roundup
Monster Academy: I Will Not Eat People had a monster of a debut day yesterday. Spurred by the premiere day sale price of only $2.99, it leaped to the top of the DriveThruFiction.com charts and reached as high as #17 on Amazon’s Children’s Sword & Sorcery Fantasy Books list. (That sale price ends tonight, by the way, so snag the …
Why I Love Monster Academy
Back when I ran the Kickstarter to fund the Monster Academy trilogy, Jennifer Brozek asked me to write a guest post for her site, letting people know what I love about the series.

Crossover Day!
As you may recall from last year, my pals at Zombie Orpheus ran a huge Kickstarter for their fantastic film The Gamers: Hands of Fate, which is mostly set at Gen Con, my favorite event of the year. As part of that, they asked me if I’d be interested setting up a crossover between the movie and my then-upcoming Gen Con thriller, Dangerous Games: …
It’s a Dangerous Games Fiasco
As part of the Kickstarter I ran for my Dangerous Games novels, I promised to create a playset for Fiasco based on the novels. For those who don’t know, Fiasco is a fantastic tabletop roleplaying game created by Jason Morningstar, which won the Diana Jones Award a few years back. It’s a fantastic game, although very different from your standard “kick down the door, …
