Week 16 of 2022 Greetings all It’s always exciting when I finish a big editing pass on a novel. The Door Into Winter went off to the editor and will come out on the 10th of May. For those who thought I said the 9th, I did, but only because I apparently can’t read a […]

Rob’s Update: Rock Chalk
Week 15 of 2022 Greetings all Wow! Another great week highlighted by the release of Deadly Fortune, Aaron Rosenberg’s first Eldros Legacy novel. This is a swashbuckling tale of pirates, murder, hidden secrets, and mystery. It’s set in the Areyat Islands, a corner of Shijuren that Aaron claimed for his own. You can get it […]
Rob’s Update: A Huge Week
Week 14 of 2022 Greetings all So much to talk about this week! First, I had a great time at FantaSci. Here’s the full FantaSci AAR: robhowell.org/blog/?p=2653. While there, we released Keen Edge of Valor. Thanks to all who supported the release and participated in its creation. It’s a great anthology and I’m proud of […]
Rob’s Update: Happy St. Paddy’s
Week 12 of 2022 Greetings all Editor’s Note: Hey, look, I finally changed the year to 2022! Go me! And thanks to all of you who pointed that out last week. I do appreciate it. Clearly I need all the help I can get. I hope everyone is having fun wearing the green (or the […]
Rob’s Update: Coming Down the Mountainside
Week 10 of 2021 Greetings all This was a discombobulated week. In order to help the sweetie’s parents, I had to drive up to North Dakota and back essentially over the weekend. 13 hours each way plus hotel stays will take a bite out of a week, that’s for sure. Still, I was productive this […]
Rob’s Update: Blazing Like the Sun
Week 9 of 2021 Greetings all This has been my best writing week in ages. I have a short story due on Monday. I’d had it laid out in my mind, and that layout was so spot on, I started this past Monday with 1000 words and four days later have 12000. As I said, […]
Rob’s Update: The Days of High Adventure
Week 8 of 2021 Greetings all I’m back from an amazing Superstars Seminar. I posted a longer AAR here: robhowell.org/blog/?p=2571, but the TL:DR version is that I had a great time and leveled up. This has been a productive week following up with a variety of things after the seminar. Lots of emails and instant […]
Rob’s Update: Where’s All The Oxygen?
Week 7 of 2021 Greetings all I’m at Superstars this week and learning a ton. I mean, when I can breathe at 6000 feet of course. Yeeesh. And you know, a bit of humidity never killed anyone either. But I am learning a ton, as I said. I took a great class on pacing from […]
Rob’s Update: Becoming a Superstar
Week 6 of 2021 Greetings all Monday I head to Colorado Springs to go to my first Superstars Writing Seminar. Going to be a chance for me to level up, I think. The teachers include such names as Jim Butcher, Kevin J. Anderson, Jonathan Maberry, Jody Lynn Nye, and the one, the only, Chris Kennedy. […]
Rob’s Update: The Excalispork
Week 4 of 2021 Greetings all Sorry about not posting last week. I’ve been under the weather since ChattaCon. My turn in the Covid box, which I’ve long expected. To be frank, it wasn’t bad for me, just draining. I’m certainly on the mend now. I did manage to get the base manuscript for Keen […]
Rob’s Update: Auld Lang Syne
Week 52 of 2021 Greetings all Welcome to the final week of 2021. I hope you had a great year and I wish you an even better year in 2022. For me, it was a huge year, and I will do a separate blog post next week about it, followed by one discussing my goals […]
Rob’s Update: Happy Holidays
Week 50 of 2021 Greetings all It was a very productive week here. I finished the first pass through Embers & Ash, the third book of the Eldros Legacy. This one is by Marie Whittaker, who’s a fantastic writer. I also finished Fleece Navidad, which will be going out to my subscribers on Saturday. I […]
