Patreon
A number of author friends are doing Patreon, and I wanted to find out if it was a good idea for me to. How it works is this: Patreon subscribers pledge a small amount per month, as little as $1, to subscribe to my Patreon website. They have exclusive access to new stories, sketches and chapters from works in progress each month -- it's kind of ( Read more... ) -
Fire of the Gods
Stealing Fire is the story of how Ptolemy became Pharaoh of Egypt and freed Alexander's spirit to go into the West, bound as it was to his body by the ancient rites of Egypt. Lord of the Two Lands, by Judith Tarr, is the story of how Alexander took up that responsibility in the first place. It's one of my favorite books about Alexander, and I ( Read more... ) -
Put on the Armor of Light
In talking about the Historical Fantasy Storybundle that I'm currently in, one of the things that delights me is sharing space with several novels that I love. One of them is The Armor of Light by Melissa Scott and Lisa A. Barnett. Two decades before I even dreamed of writing a book with Melissa Scott, I read and enjoyed The Armor of Light.

An Ascending Path
I was just reading a new reader review over on Amazon, and basically what they said is that they liked my work because it made them feel good and hopeful. I'm extremely glad of that, because that's one of my purposes! Most of my books, original, co-authored and Stargate, follow the pattern of an ascending path. That's a form rarely used in ( Read more... ) -
The Mysteries of Emege
I'm currently working on a Stargate Atlantis novella to come out late spring/early summer, and I thought I'd share a little taste of it. One thing I discovered I really enjoyed when I was writing Secrets is the friendship between Teyla and Rodney. It was wonderful to develop that relationship in Legacy, and I'm enjoying continuing it in this ( Read more... )
