COSine 2022

January 14, 2022 by John Wilker Leave a Comment

My first in-person thing of 2022 is this weekend! I’m equal parts excited and nervous, but mostly excited.

I’ve got a table in the dealers room all weekend so if you’re nearby come say hi, sit in on some awesome panels, meet cool folks.

Speaking of panels. I’m moderating my first panel this weekend. That’s the root of most of the nervousness. I’m looking at this entire weekend as a great opportunity to practice my stoicism.

Come again?

:) While I’m 100% certain I’ll never attain a mastery of stoicism, I like the calmness it can help impart. One of the tenets is that you accept what is in your absolute control, and let what isn’t in your direct control not bother you.

So what is in my direct control?

I’m going to try to be the best moderator I can
I’m going to try to be the best panelist I can
I’m going to try to be the best salesperson I can

That’s it. Everything else is beyond my control.

Will people buy my books? I can’t say.

Will people enjoy my moderation of the panel? No idea

Will people like my answers on the panels? Shrug.

All I can do is my best at those and accept that the rest is out of my control and not worth worrying about.

Audiobook Update!

December 2, 2021 by John Wilker

Audio is a big deal. Or so I’m told.

I admit I’ve never been an audiobook reader.

I’ll also admit, I’m not one of those snobs that look down on audiobook readers. If you’re consuming books, you’re fuckin’ awesome. Keep doing it.

So, that said. If you didn’t know, you’ve been able to get ‘The Adventures of Wil Calder‘ for a while now anywhere you can get audio, including direct from me. Same with ‘Big Ship, Lots of Guns‘.

And now… ‘The Behemoth Job‘ is available as well!

AND!

‘Stay Warm, Don’t Die‘ should be out before year’s end.

The Behemoth Job is working its way through the myriad pipes and mazes of the audio storefronts. The audio link on the book detail pages will update as more stores come online.

If you’re an audiobook reader, I’d love your help in spreading the word. I’ve let audio languish a bit, mostly as a result of lack of backlist. Now that that is changing, I want to promote my audiobooks. Help a brother out, check ’em out, tell your Scifi loving friends, etc.

Lift Off! ‘Here, There Be Monsters’ is Live

April 28, 2021 by John Wilker

Today’s the day! If you pre-ordered, your copy magically appeared on your device around midnight!

If you haven’t pre-ordered, well, now you can regular order! And You should.

I’m really happy with how this one came together.

As the Beastie Boys say, “No Sleep, til Brooklyn!”

I’m almost done with my loose outline for the 3rd book of the Grand Human Empire series. I’ll be starting the first draft in a few days! If you haven’t taken a look at that series you should, I think you’ll like it :)

Goodreads giveaways have been around a while, I’ve never tried them, so this is a bit of an experiment. I hope if you’re a Goodreads user you’ll play along :)

The upside of entering is that you’ll also get a handy little email letting you know that ‘Any Job Will Do’ has been released. I know you’ll want to grab it (Assuming you haven’t pre-ordered it already, which you should do!) as soon as it’s available. :)
