Are your mid-30s too late to try and live a dream? I certainly hope not, because that's what I'm doing. For as long as I can remember I've wanted to be a writer.

It wasn't until I met my wife that I got serious about publication. She gave me the push I needed to try and make my dream a reality.

I'm a genre writer. My stories typically involve normal people dropped into a bad situation. That may be a monster story or a crime story or a sci-fi story. But the one thing that will be in nearly all of them is the normal guy. Someone who's a little down on his luck, just trying to get through today. He'll worry about tomorrow tomorrow. I suppose that means you could classify me as a noir writer. Not a traditional one, I don't suppose. And I'm defin ...more

Power Down pre-order is off

I'm sitting here with a finished book. It's done. It's edited. And last night I was supposed to load the final file up to complete the pre-order process. Except that didn't happen. I screwed up, and now the pre-order for Power Down is off.

An explanation.

I'd been watching my deadline. I'd been editing toward that date. Or, I was editing to what I thought was that date. Turns out I was off by a Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Jarrett Rush (?)

“Soldier,” he said. “A lousy one, but I was a soldier in the Army.” He studied the menu then laid it to his side. “When the government fell and they let us all go I started working the docks over at south bay. Did that for a while and hated it. Started delivering goods for a guy I met working there and that’s how I met Raul.”
― Jarrett Rush, Chasing Filthy Lucre
