Odd Men Out Launch
I had so much fun at the official launch party for ODD MEN OUT this past weekend. We had authors, editors, readers and steampunk enthusiasts out for a great celebration at the Thurber Center in Columbus, Ohio.
Thanks to everyone who came out!

Wonderful Reading at Java Central
I got to read an excerpt from my novel and talk a little about steampunk and my writing process at Westerville's "Rock the 'Ville" on Saturday, August 10th. I had quite a bit of fun.
While I read, I basically sat at a table at Java Central, which was the same table I used to sit at while writing the book. I used to come there for my lunch break and write a few hundred words a day whenever I could.

Underwater Fistfight Launch
My speculative poetry collection, Underwater Fistfight, launched this week. It's based on old horror movies, comic books, 80s cartoons, and pulp scifi novels. I'm really thrilled that it's out there in the world for people to read. I had so much fun writing it!
Red Gear 9 is Out Now!
My latest book, RED GEAR 9, is available now! It's the sequel to my first book ODD MEN OUT.
A daring prison break at Alcatraz Island sets Reeves, a former Confederate spy, on a path that can either lead him to freedom or back into war. As he and his fellow escapees struggle to make their way in a frightening new world full of airships, truces, and hordes of living dead, he finds the Office of Military Operations doggedly pursuing them. Reeves manages to stay just ahead of his pursuers thanks to his training, determination, and blind luck.
Red Gear 9 picks up mere months after the events of the first book, Odd Men Out. The airship Polk is still flying and the OMO is still determined to keep the peace along the West Coast of the United States. Three of their best officers, Cyrus, Bethy, and Lucinda race to stop the convicts before the criminals either disappear into the vast reaches of the two Americas, or they decide to burn everything down.
