In the last couple days, I’ve been running around like a nut getting the word out for Reclaiming Your Mind: An Autodidact’s Bible, and in that time we blew through the initial funding goal.

Learning and potatoes have two things in common: They’re nutritious, and they come in many forms.

I’ve been reading and writing since I was four years old—not just “writing my name” and “reading road signs,” but reading and writing stories.

At long last, I am proud to present you with the ninth Clarke Lantham Mystery, the twistiest, darkest, funniest, and most terrifying Lantham yet!

A lot of you reading this are writers, or want to be.

Tales of Horror and Delight Between the timeless night that bounds our opening and closing curtains there stretches an all-too-brief parade of adventures, loves, ambitions, mistakes, triumphs, capers, madnesses, and failures.

Time moves fast.

We were heading over the highest, most treacherous mountain pass in the state.

Over the last month, I’ve been running a Kickstarter campaign to fund publication of my new nonfiction book The Secrets of the Heinlein Juvenile, the world’s first in-depth study of what are arguably (depending on how you define your terms) the twelve most

Terry Mixon, host of the Dead Robot’s Society and bestselling author of the Empire of Bones Saga, gives his take on The Secrets of the Heinlein Juvenile When Dan asked me to review The Secrets of the Heinlein Juvenile, I leaped at the chance.

I’ve been silent here for far too long, because I’ve been working my ass off elsewhere, but some of you kindly souls actually come by my blog and subscribe to alerts, and since the blog series I’ve got planned for later this year won’t start until…well, l…

This is the latest post in my New Year’s Series.

Those of you who follow my series The Unfolding World (often these are New Year’s Posts) will know that I’ve been talking in big terms about What Comes Next for the US and the world.

Hullo everyone!

Every year, I mark the New Year The post The Abyss Stares Back appeared first on .

This post is also on the podcast feed as an audio file.

I have to confess, I’m in love.

Down From Ten has been on my mind a lot, lately.

My apologies to regular readers who come around here for the creativity and not the politics.

Spring is here!

Today marked one of the great transitions.

Note: This is my annual New Year’s post where I think out loud about the trendlines of history and what the future might hold.

This morning, I woke up to snow and everything that comes with it: Icy roads, changing plans, deep-bone aches from the cold… and wonder.

Twenty-seventeen is almost gone.

I originally wrote this review in 2013 for the UK release of the book in question.

During this year’s sputtering and hectic and terrifyingly heat-soaked summer (which, thankfully, was relatively devoid of hurricanes), I managed to do some work, in fits and starts, on what is now Book 2 of The Big Series.

In today’s edition of Dan’s Nutty Life Story, we bring you an educational resource, a book review, a cute puppy picture, and a cover reveal (not necessarily in that order).

Hi Everyone!

Every month, you will find a new free short story here for your reading pleasure–after which, it will diminish to a sample.

Yesterday, I promised you an update on the other book I read cover-to-cover this week.

Hello and greetings and updates from the road!

The first of many new audio releases for me this year, last month’s Lombard Alchemist story Pick A Card is now available as an audiobook.

During the first week every month, you will find a new free short story here for your reading pleasure–after which, it will diminish to a sample.

For the last few years (with the exception of one I missed, IIRC), I’ve been writing New Years posts that have explicitly pushed back against the grouchy gloom and pessimism that seems to obtain everywhere, left right and center.

Well, here we are, at the end of the year, and all things, good and bad, do close out at the end.

2016 isn’t the only thing winding up this week.

More action-packed days here in the back of beyond!

The long silence is long–and over!

Quick update today, as it’s late and I’m utterly knackered.

A Lombard Alchemist Tale J.

Back when I was writing Silent Victor, book 4 in my Clarke Lantham Mystery series (the stories all stand alone–feel free to pick up any one that looks interesting in order to sample them!)

Well, I’ve been off the writing wagon for almost three weeks–the first with a cold that just won’t quit, the second due to a really bitchin’ conference in between where I spoke on audio production and podcasting, and then a third week where I either relap…
