Mur — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 21:01:15 +0000

The silence has been lifted – I’m super thrilled/jazzed/chuffed to announce that Orbit Books will be publishing my book, The Shambling Guide to New York City (plus one more book TBA)!

Short Story Alert- Gimme Shelter

Mur — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:51:48 +0000

I wrote a zombie short story for JR Blackwell’s anthology, Gimme Shelter (to go along with her RPG, Shelter In Place.) My story is called “Third Date Questions” and, well, it’s all there in the title.

It features stories from other amazing authors such as Filamena Young, Jared Axelrod, PJ Schnyder, Christiana more »

Last year I wrote two scripts for Leviathan Chronicles, the epic audio drama from Christof Laputka, and those are finally available for purchase! You can get Season 1 for free, and if you enjoy it, the special editions are $2.99 each.

I got a chance to write the origin story of one of my favorite more »

Writing news

Mur — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 14:01:50 +0000

Nothing as exciting as a sale or anything, but I do have some news:

I will be writing The Afterlife Series Book 6 (as yet unnamed). I figured people knew this, but then I remember news about my life is not front page material, and when I casually mentioned this on Twitter many people showed more »

Lost files – Stories of the Third Wave

mightymur — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 20:00:23 +0000

During some hacking last year, we lost a lot of Playing For Keeps content. I posted a bunch of content created by other people during the launch, and they were quite popular. I’m going to slowly be re-adding them here for your downloading pleasure. For now, two of the most popular episodes from Stories of more »

Cabinet of Curiosities, Earth, and More!

mightymur — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 20:43:41 +0000

I’ve been crazy busy this month with writing, and forgot to announce stuff I wrote a while ago!

My first pro sale to the anthology Cabinet of Curiosities came out this week!

After the death of Dr. Thackery T. Lambshead at his house in Wimpering-on-the-Brook, England, a remarkable discovery was unearthed: the remains of more »

How loud should the megaphone be?

mightymur — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 21:52:52 +0000

I’ve got two money-making schemes plans right now. First, I am selling ebooks, specifically pushing The Afterlife Series, and second, I have launched the Murverse Store to offer signed limited editions of my stuff (and some extra swag I have around.) I mention these maybe once a week on twitter and facebook. All more »

mightymur — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 17:59:05 +0000

Baby steps

mightymur — Mon, 09 May 2011 14:09:04 +0000

I hate it when I focus on one thing to the detriment of all others. I’ve been so focused on getting the Heaven ebooks and limited editions done, I’ve slacked off on both podcasting and writing. That plus phlebotomy had me slacking off of exercise (but that’s been happening for a while, admittedly.)

So last more »

mightymur — Sun, 08 May 2011 18:17:02 +0000

Or whatever….

Anyway, I’ve appeared in several anthologies of late, and one very exciting one forthcoming, so I wanted to list them here.

My friend Lee Harris invited me to contribute to this charity short fiction collection that contains work by Alastair Reynolds, Jasper Fforde, Mary Robinette Kowal, Paul Cornell, and Kaaron Warren, among more »

Yeah, it launched last week, but I had to fuss over the website first. Anyway, after the immense success of my Kickstarter campaign, my ebook designer and artists have been working hard to get the books ready, and Heaven is finally ready! Hell will launch June 1, and then the rest in monthly increments.

Kickstarter funding update

mightymur — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 18:51:53 +0000

Here are some stats:

8:51am- launched Kickstarter campaign. Asking for $2000 in order to cover book design and cover costs, Kickstarter fees, and prices for any extras – namely the thumb drives and the books. Honestly a little worried that early Saturday morning was crap timing considering that most people would be in bed, not more »
