  1. Lotta work done on new story rough draft -- "The Ballad." Coming along much easier than the last story -- "The Thief" -- which is a little disappointing considering how much I love both. #samuraipunk #biopunk #Heianpunk

  2. "The Dog" is DONE. A 7000-word far-future #samuraipunk #shortstory that is a bit like #Kurosawa samurai in a Vampire Hunter D (monsters, mutants, etc.) world. I need to find a home for it now.

  3. Oh wow, I just realized that I'm free to republish "Dark Hour." #samuraipunk
    My greatst thanks to Matt and Cameron for publishing it. The FUTURES THAT NEVER WERE is a fun (and super THICC) anthoogy. If you like #pulp #swordandplanet, check it out!

  4. Back in the saddle. Working on Daimyo's Decoy. I'm thinking I want to change the title though. Just haven't come up with anything I like better yet.

  5. I'll be serializing my novella, Daimyo's Decoy, starting the new year. A #samuraipunk adventure. Kurosawa meets Miller (Mad Max), #mutants, #monsters and other strange entities. A young woman is called upon to use her "phantomechanism" to manipulate the dead daimyo's flesh to save castle and clan! #fiction #japan #samurai #scifi #farfuture

  6. I'm expanding the first chapter of "The Daimyo's Decoy" and chapters 2 - 6 have been roughed out. The ending is planned and the whole story is outlined.

  7. Did some great editing/writing on chapter 3 of Daimyo's Decoy today. #scifi #WIP #samuraipunk

    You can read the first chapter here for free. famichiki.jp/@DNA/109791760182

  8. #WIP #samuraipunk #samuraifiction
    Editing chapter two of The Daimyo's Double. Hoping to have this at about 30 - 40K by summer. Release when ready.

  9. Working on getting chapters of #scifi #samuraipunk novella ready for serial publication. So excited. Follow samuraipunk.substack.com for updates and launch info. (And other fun too.)

  10. Can't believe I just wrote a tender scene for this novella. Never even contemplated it. That's what happens when you let the characters tell their own stories. #wip #scifi #samuraipunk

  11. Would you pay for the LAST chapter (like $1) of a novella (not a short story, at least 30K words) you could read for free UP TO that last chapter as long as that "pay chapter" was fully disclosed FROM THE FIRST CHAPTER, there was ABSOLUTELY NO OBLIGATION until that chapter, and that a full ebook version would be available for download WITH payment? #reading #books #fiction #onlinefiction #scifi #fantasy #samurai #samuraipunk

  12. While I hate typing work I've already set down on one medium into the PC, I added several hundred words of new material to the page and a half from yesterday. I still have today's 2.5 pages to type in. Probably expand that too. #samuraipunk #wip #scifi

  13. Scribbled in my notebook today. Probably only a few hundred words, but they all add up. #wip #novella #samuraiSFF #samuraipunk #scifi

  14. @skiffyandfanty Wow. Love to talk to you folks! I'm working on #samuraipunk -- Kurosawa meets Mad Max.

  15. Latest issue of Samuraipunk Newsletter is out! I apologize for last week's weak attempt. Moving FORWARD! Announcement drop of my latest #samuraipunk #samurai #scifi short story in the FUTURES THAT NEVER WERE anthology by @mxgomez78 and Cameron Mount!

  16. Kagemusha written as a #samuraipunk novella in which the "double" is a woman who can manipulate flesh, living or dead, and is forced to wear the dead flesh of a daimyo warlord to stop an invasion by monsters and mutants.

  17. LIVE! My newest #Samuraipunk short story "Dark Hour" is now street-ready with 19 other slick stories of retro future action and adventure. #scifi #fantasy #samurai #conan #barsoom #bookstodon
    This paperback (and a hardcover is planned) is CHONKERS! 564 pages THICCCCCCCCC!

  18. Next issue of #Samuraipunk newsletter covers some #biohorror #bodyhorror #biopunk #scifi in the form the darker shows/films of the Kamen Rider series. This is good fun, but I'm watching a lot of TV for this.

  19. Three short stories.

    "Now I Lay Me..." (vocal.media/fiction/now-i-lay-) -- An old school #cyberpunk piece circa 1997 dredged up from a scratched CD-ROM. Most definitely Gibson/Stephenson inspired.

    "Drifting Woman" (vocal.media/fiction/drifting-w) -- A tale of creeping #horror set in modern-day #Japan. #Adult in nature.

    "The RuiNin" (vocal.media/fiction/the-rui-ni) -- Far-future post-apocalypse #samuraipunk about a wandering nameless man and his mutant "dog".

  20. "The RuiNin"
    The ruined state of both his cybernetics and his life marked him as more than just "masterless" – he was ruiNin – an Augmented samurai wandering the wastelands, unable to end his existence lest the dead haunt him even in the afterlife.
