Time Troopers Cropped

Today’s the day! ⌛ If you’re a fan of time travel stories both classic and new, Baen Books has an anthology for you – Time Troopers, edited by Hank Davis and Christopher Ruocchio.  My entry, “Doctor Quiet,” provides an action-packed first look at some new characters you’ll meet in the upcoming The Janus File, but it sits alongside stories from such […]

Tales of Arise – Video Game Review

February 13, 2022 by holojacob Leave a Comment

Tales of Arise Art

When I’m not writing, I’m usually playing video games, and my main game of the month has been Tales of Arise. This is actually my second play-through (and my first experience with the Tales franchise in general). Initially, I wasn’t the biggest fan of Tales‘ combat system, but the good news is each character has a distinct playstyle, so by […]

Adventures in Co-Authoring with a Sci-Fi Legend: Origins – Act III: Collaborations

February 6, 2022 by holojacob Leave a Comment

The Gordian Protocol Book Cover

Catch up on Act II here! Act III: Collaborations Naturally, being an author (a nobody indie author, but an author nonetheless), the concept of writing a novel with David Weber had crossed my mind. David is, after all, not only a prolific author, but a prolific collaborator as well. I had given David some of […]

Adventures in Co-Authoring with a Sci-Fi Legend: Origins – Act II: Monster Con

Jacob's Well-Loved Copy of In Death Ground

Catch up on Act I here! Act II: Monster Con We arrived early to David’s signing, hoping to not only get my copy of In Death Ground signed, but also to whisk H.P. back home to safety and comfort. This plan, as with many plans before it, did not survive contact with the enemy. David […]

Adventures in Co-Authoring with a Sci-Fi Legend: Origins – Act I: Cancer

February 6, 2022 by holojacob Leave a Comment

I’ve been writing with David Weber for six years—first on The Gordian Protocol, then The Valkyrie Protocol, and now on three more novels set within the same multiverse, the first of which will come out later this year. Even after this long, the notion of writing with David Weber maintains a certain … surrealness in […]

Adventures in Heart Health and Diets – The Sequel

May 24, 2020 by holojacob Leave a Comment

Well, readers, it’s been a little over a year since chest pains sent me to the doctor on my 40th birthday. 😐 You can read all about that fun adventure here, but given that a recent cardiologist visit gave me some good news, I figured it was time for an update. The good news? I […]

Adventures in Heart Health and Diets

May 16, 2019 by holojacob 2 Comments

Well, H.P. and I expected this spring to be an exciting one, what with the release of The Gordian Protocol. What we didn’t expect was excitement in the form of spending my 40th birthday at the doctor with chest pains. Heart disease runs in my family (as it does in so many)—it’s one of the […]

A Funny Story About Writing The Gordian Protocol

May 10, 2019 by holojacob Leave a Comment

*Originally posted 3/6/19 on the Weber Forums. PLEASE NOTE: This post will contain a few vague references to parts of The Gordian Protocol‘s plot and characters.

Holo Writing at HonorCon 2015!

December 10, 2015 by holojacob Leave a Comment

H.P. and I recently attended HonorCon 2015, and we had a blast! The convention itself was certainly lower key than DragonCon or AWA, but the halls were packed with readers passionate about military science fiction in general and David Weber’s Honorverse novels in particular. Not only did we have plenty of fun, but this also […]
