Hey Space Cadets, I wanted to share some amazing news with you! One of the authors, Richard Fox, in the military science fiction anthology I published, Backblast Area Clear: A Military Science Fiction Anthology, has made the official nomination list for the 2019 Nebula Award! That’s right, Bayonet Books, also known as the name of my press, has hit the big time. Sorta? I mean, sure I’m riding his coattails and stealing his thunder, but Continue reading “Nebula Award – Say What?”
Hey Space Cadets, just wanted to check in with you! I’m halfway through my re-write of The Reservist, I really think you’re going to love it. My publisher over at Galaxy’s Edge Press and Jason Anspach, my point of contact, are pushing me to do better. I’m liking the change, it really pops. Until then, I wanted to make you aware of another great source for Science Fiction books. Continue reading “The SciFi Collective”
Hey Space Cadets, how are you all doing? I’m doing great, especially since I can tell you about a new release! I’ve co-written a comedic space opera with Chris Winder, a project that was a lot of fun to write.
Vacuums Suck Hard! Adventures of the USS Big Stick
Gunnery Sergeant John Doe is frustrated. He didn’t join the Space Corps to be shuttled around in a ship. He joined to fight. The only real action he’s seen so far have been a few small skirmishes. Bad guys died. The good guys won. Just a typical day.
For years he’s been itching for a big fight. Something he can use to impress his junior Space Marines. Something that’ll help him pick-up chicks. Something that might put him in some real danger. He gets excited just thinking about the possibilities. He’s hoping this tour aboard his ship, The Big Stick, will be different.
After defeating a long-time enemy, the Space Federation decided another war was just what the people needed. One was intentional. Two were not. Either way, Gunny was excited.
Yet there he was, stuck on a ship performing patrols in a quiet area of space, and bored almost to tears. Until that is, the area became anything but quiet.
Now Gunny and the rest of the ship’s crew have to fight for their lives against an enemy none of them expected to see.
Until next time, stay frosty and don’t forget to keep your powder dry.

Hey Space Cadets, I hope you’re having an awesome day! I’m doing great, I should have some new releases coming in the not-too-distant future. In the meantime, I thought I would start the new year off with a week of posts highlighting various books that are on sale for the low – low price of $0.99 USD. Some of these books were already $0.99, but I liked them and decided to share. Others, however, are books whose sales I coordinated with the author to get these sales for you! I hope you like these books but check them out now if you’re interested because these low prices won’t last forever! Continue reading “Title: Tales of Sales, Day 4”

Hey Space Cadets, I hope all of you had an outstanding Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate at this time of year! As the new year approaches, I figured we could collectively wave goodbye to 2018 and look forward to a better 2019!
Hey Space Cadets, I just wanted to share another blog recommending some good stories with you! All of these are listed at $0.99 USD, so get them now while they’re still on sale.

Hey Space Cadets, how’re you doing? I’m sorry for the delay in posting the second half of this review – our house has been hit with that nasty cold virus going around our area. I’ve still managed to get some writing done. Here is the second half of my last book review. This review was also a discussion on the Sci-Fi Shenanigans Podcast, which has already dropped. I’ve reviewed a few short stories here that didn’t make it onto the podcast. If my co-host also writes a blog with his thoughts on this collection, I will share here as well. It should be fun to see two different reactions to the same stories.
But enough dallying, on to the review! Continue reading “Book Review: The Expanding Universe, Volume 4 Part 2”
