Guys. GUYS.

TERMINAL POINT IS IN THE WILD!!!

It's release day and I'm alternating between freaking out and being ridiculously excited. I really hope the story answers everyone's lingering questions and that no one wants to kill me over the ending.

I'm still kind of stunned that it's out there. It's surreal and crazy and holy shit guys, MY SECOND BOOK MADE IT OUT OF MY HEAD!!!

Please go out and support your crazy author by buying it! If you've already bought it, please think about doing a review o...

So the random number generator chose a winner! Darkcyril, the books are yours! Unfortunately, said books, along with everything else I own, are packed up in boxes and I will have to mail them next week after I move. Apologies!

Please send me your contact info to the following email: kmruizwriter [at] gmail

As for everyone else, thanks so much for participating! I'm going to dive into all the new music after I move.

Remember, TERMINAL POINT comes out June 19, but feel free to pre-order anywhere y...

So last year on May 10, 2011, MIND STORM was released. It was a very exciting time for me (with lots of congratulatory drinks and some liquid courage when applicable) and I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since it came out. Its sequel/conclusion, TERMINAL POINT, is due to be released next month on June 19 and I’m so excited to get it out there and share it with you guys.

To that end, I’m running a contest from now until May 10, 2012, MIND STORM’s release day anniversary. The prize is a s...

So it's that time of the year where reviews are going to start trickling in. TERMINAL POINT comes out on June 19, 2012 and I'm still as nervous for its release as I was for MIND STORM last year. At the moment, it helps that I'm so sick I really only care when my next box of tissues is gonna show up.

Publisher's Weekly has its review for TERMINAL POINT over here. Seems to be a positive review, so yay!

In case anyone missed it, I've got chapter one of TERMINAL POINT up on my website. Go and read ...

Hello dear world of craziness. I promise I live, despite the land of MSJ that wants to take me down.

It's been awhile and I have been distracted by working on writing and dealing with all kinds of things in the realm of real life.

But despite all the craziness, I wanted to share an awesome review for MIND STORM!!! It made my weekend. Check out SF Signal and their post.

I'm hoping to post the first chapter of TERMINAL POINT sometime in the next few weeks if I can get clearance. I've an idea for a...

That awkward moment when you realize, shit, I have to put my work out there and say yes, I can be considered for things. I'm really not good at this self-promotion stuff.

For anyone who might swing by this way, I'm eligible for the Hugo and Nebula in the novel category for:

1. My debut sci-fi novel Mind Storm, from Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin's Press.

2. And this is the first year I'm eligible for the John W. Campbell Award.

Bit late for a New Year's post, but what the hell. I spent the holiday a little ill but am mostly better now. Not one for a huge party or drinking to get drunk, so stayed home with a friend and watched movies with loud explosions. Drank one glass of wine because alcohol and a sore throat don't quite mix.

2011 was an awesome year, I have to say. Never going to be quite replicated. The one thing I wanted to do with my life happened when MIND STORM finally came out. I still love my day job and am...

Okay, so, the really cool thing that happened this month was that MIND STORM got picked for Barnes & Nobles SciFi and Fantasy Blog's Best of Science Fiction in 2011. STOKED! I may be number 12 of 13, but I ain't complaining! Finding out made my Monday, to be quite honest.

Check it out here.

Also, I have a release date for TERMINAL POINT! Mark your calendars for June 19, 2012. You'll have plenty of time to buy the second book of the Strykers Syndicate novels before the world ends in December. No...
