NaNoWriMo No or Yes?

Posted by Rampant Coyote on November 2, 2015

If you aren’t already involved in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), well, you’ve missed a day or two already, but you can still jump on board. This is not going to be the month I write a novel. No way, no how. With the work on short stories and the release of Beyond the Wail […]

Beyond the Wail Interview with Julie Barnson

Posted by Rampant Coyote on October 19, 2015

One of my gamedev friends stepped up to the plate and offered to host an interview for the Beyond the Wail anthology. With the luck of the draw, he was asked to post the interview with my wife, Julie. So DUH… of course I’m going to link to it! Invicticide’s Blog: Beyond the Wail Interview […]

My Interview for Beyond the Wail

Posted by Rampant Coyote on October 15, 2015

In conjunction with the launch of “Beyond the Wail: 12 Grave Stories of Love and Loss,” I also did a short interview for the blog hop. You probably know way more about me than you want to know as far as game development is concerned if you are a long-time reader. But I brought up […]

Beyond the Wail Blog Tour: L. K. McIntosh

Posted by Rampant Coyote on October 14, 2015

What is it about fear and the unknown that pulls so passionately at the human heart? Perhaps we are drawn not to the darkness itself, but to the resolution, the overcoming of what we most deeply dread. After all, the more terrible the struggle, the greater the victory when it comes at last. Presented in […]

Delusion Meets Paranormal, Sadness and Amusement Ensue

Posted by Rampant Coyote on October 13, 2015

I’ve had two relatives (on my wife’s side) with dementia or something akin to it which causes hallucinations. My grandfather had it in conjunction with Alzheimer’s. And my wife’s aunt suffered from delusional episodes. With her grandfather, he was pretty much off in his own world most of the time anyway, so while frustrating and […]

“Beyond the Wail” Paranormal Anthology Launches This Weekend!

Posted by Rampant Coyote on October 9, 2015

I’ll be spending some time next week talking about Beyond the Wail, which launches THIS WEEKEND! I’m doubly excited for this anthology, because my wife also has a story in it. Probably better than mine. What can I say? I married talent. I’m not kidding. Ghost stories are literally her thing. Professionally. And she’s seen […]

I’m going to be at Salt Lake Comic Con this weekend – from tomorrow (the 24th) through Saturday the 26th. It’ll be a good time. I will be found (much of the time) at the Xchyler Publishing author’s table at BK17. We’ll be next to Curiosity Quills and Space Balrogs. Which means fun. If you are […]

On Ego Trips and Publishing Pace

Posted by Rampant Coyote on September 17, 2015

Since I’m now doing double-duty as both a writer and a game developer (gee, anything else I should acquire as a major hobby / side occupation? Maybe get a law degree?), it’s been interesting having a foot in both camps and watching the parallels. Both have enjoyed an indie revolution, which has caused a good […]

Coming Soon: Beyond the Wail

I mentioned some time ago that I am in a new, upcoming anthology. This is it. Next month Xchyler Publishing releases a new anthology of paranormal tales called “Beyond the Wail.” Here’s a trailer video:     It includes twelve tales of “love, loss, and lamentation.” A lot of them deal with the loss of […]

Book Impressions: Dungeon Hacks

Posted by Rampant Coyote on August 31, 2015

Except for a fairly lame mail-order game from Aardvark Software, my first computer role-playing game was Telengard for the Commodore 64. We didn’t have the modern taxonomy of games like we do now… I don’t know if “role-playing game” had really caught on then. “Roguelike” certainly hadn’t. Both words would have applied, but at the […]

The Hugos: The Kindergarten Bestest Friend Award

Posted by Rampant Coyote on August 28, 2015

I was going to write a big article about the 2015, and the travesty that went down this year with the Hugos.  In fact, I did write not just one, but two articles about it. But I wasn’t happy with either one. In the end, I wasn’t really contributing much, in spite of both of […]

“Cold Spot” 777 Challenge

Posted by Rampant Coyote on August 13, 2015

I was tagged by Nicole Payne for the “777 Challenge.” The challenge is to share 7 lines from page 7 of one of your manuscripts and tag 7 other blogging authors to do the same. Okay, I’m game. Although next time, I should probably make sure that I have more action-packed scenes on page seven. […]
