2018 Review and Mighty 2019 Preview

On January 1, 2019

In Anthology, Chess Team, Coming Soon, Writing

New Year’s Eve. Second blog post of the entire year of 2018. That should suggest something about what this year was like for me.

When I wrote my 2017 year-end wrap up, I finished by noting I was sick. That was a year ago, December. I had no idea how long that would last. I was happy and in love (and still am) but I was ill. No biggie, I had thought. Just a cold. Or the flu. But it was far more than that. I was down until early May. Five and a half months of runny nose, congestion, coughing my brains out, and what turned out to be actual pneumonia. Four batches of antibiotics. All as a result of what was either one super-crazy infection, or multiple overlapping infections. Either way, after the year that was 2017, spending the first half of 2018 practically (and on many days actually) bedridden meant my productivity for the year was going to be crap. And that’s exactly what happened. There were precisely two publications in 2018 that had contributions from me. I’ll get to those in a bit.

New Books and New Looks

By Kane

On March 20, 2015

In Chess Team, Endgame, Frozen

So Endgame is out now. The book is a strange hybrid of a novella, a guidebook, and a short story. It’s a comprehensive look at the 18 books out so far in Jeremy Robinson’s Jack Sigler/Chess Team thriller series, for which I’ve co-authored a few books. This one, for the foreseeable future, will be my last.

Written as if you were taking a peek into Deep
Blue’s personal files, the book is filled with character bios, book summaries, and art. It also has a nice little framing-sequence short story around it, that tells you what happened to Deep Blue after the end of Cannibal (Book 7), which was also recently released.

Here’s the description for Endgame.

2014 In Review

By Kane

On December 21, 2014

In Anthology, Chess Team, Coming Soon, Endgame, Frozen, Refuge, THE CRYPT OF DRACULA

Yep. My first and probably only blog post in 2014. Obviously I plan to do better in 2015.

So where have I been? I started the year off with severe hallucination-giving flu. At the time, I was writing the fifth and final installment of ‘Season 1’ of Jeremy Bishop’s REFUGE series, which we released first as a serial, in five parts, and later as a collected novel. My part, BONFIRES BURNING BRIGHT, was full of hallucinatory madness and crazy action. I should have blogged at the time to announce it but…yeah. Sick. Hoping there will be a ‘Season 2.’ You can help by buying the collected novel or the individual parts, and by spreading the word about it.
