I’ve been so busy at work that I completely forgot to mention that I had stories in two different anthologies come out this week, as well as had two more accepted into upcoming anthologies.

The first, of course, is the Monster Hunter Files Vol. 2 anthology, edited by myself and Larry Correia. This one has been in the works since 2023 and we finally got to see it published at Baen. With 13 monster h

“a sucking chest wound is Mother Nature’s way of telling you, you were moving too slow.”
Jason Cordova, Gunboat Diplomacy

“Never interrupt your enemy in the middle of making a mistake,” Drake replied. “That’s another one of Meekos’ tidbits of Human wisdom. Right up there with ‘Close air support covers a multitude of sins,’ and ‘Overkill is not a thing.’” “The one I’m concerned with right now is, ‘If the attack is going well, you’re about to be ambushed,”
Jason Cordova, Gunboat Diplomacy

“Cuanto mas fuerte es el gallo, mas lo ignoramos,”
Jason Córdova, Darkling

“Oh hells, I’d forgotten about the Griffin Corps naming tradition. If it got out that Feli—Atticus called me Harpy, I’d never escape it. It was a miracle he hadn’t told the other griffins already.

“Waiting,” he purred into my mind. Apprehension shivered down my spine at the sly mischief in his tone.

“Waiting for what?”

“The perfect moment.”

My brow furrowed before understanding hit. “You’re waiting for the perfect moment to tell everyone you call me Harpy?”

“Yes.” He trilled a laugh. “Live in fear.”

My griffin was evil.”
Melissa Olthoff, Rise from Ruin

“what most people call “good luck” really isn’t. It’s about having your eyes open, being smart enough to spot an opportunity when it comes knocking, and possessing the courage to seize that opportunity when it does appear.”
Edie Skye, Titan Mage
