A Quick Question on Discord

Hey folks,

I have mostly set up a Discord server for discussions that I'm intending to connect to the Patreon soon (ish, probably late November if I'm honest. There's a lot going on)

That said, I've seen the chaos that happens when Patreon gets connected to Discord. People can find themselves added to servers they don't want.

My intention is, if Patreon will allow it, to have two tiers at the same price, one that has access to the Discord and one that doesn't, so people can ...

Void Spheres out now!

Void Spheres has been released to the general public!

This version lacks the internal illustrations provided to our Kickstarter backers and, of course, isn't in hardcover.

That said, if you would like to leave a review of the book based on your KS copy, it would be appreciated.

Thank you all and happy reading!

State of the Author October 2025

(Image if of the author, grinning because he's more than a bit lost, looking down from a balcony at the Excelsior Cafe in Shibuya, Tokyo)

State of the author for this month: I am in Japan on the Ship-Shape trip as discussed in the last two posts! We have already seen some cool things, visited some cool places - though I also had some very not-cool flight cancellations and have a very not-cool head cold!

Shadow of Mars is done, currently with the proofreader. I am about a third of ...

State of the Author September 2025

Image is of Freya, a large torbie, trying to prove that she somehow fits in a shoebox. It’s almost working.

Things continue apace on the writing front. I have made a couple of decisions on what the next few books are going to be that I may yet come to regret (we’ll see!)

Unsurprisingly to most, I imagine, I have inserted a sequel to Seekers in the Void into my schedule. None of the titles I have in my head are acceptable, but the plan is for it to come out September o...

I am posting something approaching on time and with announcements! (What a horrible way to die! Sorry, I knew Scout leaders during formative public speaking years)

First and foremost, I will be travelling at the end of September for a research trip. I will be joining 2025-08-05 16:58:53 +0000 UTC View Post

An Easy Mistake - Starship's Mage short story

In The Lies Arcana, there is a passing reference to Barry Carpentier getting into trouble on Earth.

An Easy Mistake tells that story. It's a very short piece, written to act as a newsletter magnet for readers who haven't signed up yet.

And you here on Patreon get to see it first.

See the files attached, or check out the Bookfunnel download here if you're having issues.

State of the Author, July 2025

At least this month I know why I’m posting late!

Time certainly seems to fly, but I spent the last two weeks in the United Kingdom visiting friends and family and taking a desperately needed vacation. It was a bit of a hectic trip, with us visiting Edinburgh, C...

The Lies Arcana (Starship's Mage 17)

The might of Mars has failed
A world is lost to the enemy
To oppose the coming night
Mars cannot stand alone

Hi all,

I'm afraid this is coming out a bit later than I'd prefer, but I only got home about fifteen hours ago from a two-week trip to see family in the UK XD

State of the Author, June 2025

(Image is of my cat Freya, curled up in the space between my keyboard and my monitor)

Hey Patreons.

I, uh, somehow missed the start of June. How is it June already anyway? Let alone June sixth?

May was a bit hectic, as most months still are around here. Seekers in the Void launched, missed its day one sales goal to much panicking, then made its week one sales goal to some celebration, accompanied by some spectacular reviews.

It's not absolutely certain ...

Seekers in the Void out now!

Seekers in the Void is now live on Amazon! This means the download link for your ARCs has now expired.

Because Seekers in the Void is a new book I'm hoping to have lead into a series, I'd appreciate you leaving reviews on Amazon even more than usual.

Thank you for all of your support!

Happy reading everyone,

State of the Author May 2025

(Image is of Lion El'Johnson, Primarch of the Dark Angels Space marines in Warhammer 40,000. As the saying goes, there are many like this, but this one is mine and I'm rather proud of the paint job.)

Hey folks,

One-word state of the Author? Wiped.

Canadian politics have calmed down to being roughly where we started before the election, but with a different Prime Minister and the idiot houseless (which is just too freaking funny to not mention.)

COVER REVEAL - Seekers in the Void

As my Patreons, you're getting eyeballs on this a few days earlier than everyone else. My current plan is to post this more widely on Friday!

Seekers in the Void

Captain Cirilo Webster is what his universe calls a "Saint" - a senior officer of the Santiago Corporation, the people with a complete monopoly on interstellar travel.

He's spent a decade doing the Company's dirty work in their CorpSec branch, a service that cost him an arm but gained him enough trust and...

Looking for audio proofers

Hey folks,

I just received the raw audio files for Seekers in the Void, the new standalone space adventure novel coming out in May.

I am not an audiobook listener, so proofing these is quite difficult for me. Is anyone willing to help me out (and get an early preview of the book) by doing a proof listen of this for me?

I'd need notes back by April 23.

Message me on here if you're able and willing to help, including your email address.

Thank you and happy reading ...

State of the Author, April 2025

(Image is of Skadi, doing her best to help keep her author as the secondary part of the selfie)

Hey all.

So the last month has been a lot in the world, especially in Canada. My stance of "no politics on social media" has kinda... disintegrated in the face of my home country being under a degree of implicit and explicit threat.

There are no precedented times. The 2020s have been rather spectacular in their unprecedentedness though.

Still, the cats need their vet-...

February saw the last of the Starship’s Mage Anniversary Editions launch, but was otherwise quiet on the release front.

Six Red Rounds

Sometimes, as an author, something slams into your brain with enough force that you absolutely have to write it down or it won't leave you alone.

This was one of those. Seven hundred words of weird western that I have almost no context for and no intention of building upon.

Sharing it here so there's something for you all to enjoy.

State of the Author, February 2025

Hey everyone,

I hope you all enjoyed Chimera’s Fall!

Since Patreon has forced me into charging monthly, I feel obliged to come up with something to put up here on a monthly basis.

So, going forward, I’m going to try to put up an update on where things are at in terms of what I’m working on and what’s coming up.

What am I working on?

I have just finished Seekers in the Void, a tentatively standal...

Chimera's Fall is out today!

I hope everyone enjoyed the ARC.

If you want to leave a review, I'd really appreciate it (unfortunately, I forgot to put the book in Kindle Unlimited in advance and someone has already left a one-star review over that. The extra boost would be appreciated)

Thank you all and happy reading!

2024 in retrospect, 2025 ahead

(Image is of our two cats, Freya and Skadi, looking out the front door above a "Beware of Cat" welcome mat", with Halloween "Caution-Danger" tape above their furry heads)

A bit late on retrospective, but I’m looking as much forward as backward today.
