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 One-Eared Cats

February 1, 2022 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Welp, it’s been a bit since Nova’s initial cancer diagnosis. That and her initial surgery fell in the midst of the Monster Punk Horizon series’ launch, so there wasn’t too much time for blogging. 😮‍💨 But now that there is, I’m delighted to let you know that Nova’s surgery went well! 😄 Her vet reports […]

Nova Sitting on a Chair

Here’s your occasional reminder to GET YA WEIRD SKIN SPOTS CHECKED, courtesy of Nova. (BTW, if you follow me on Instagram, you’ll see these reminders more often, in addition to other stuff like more pics of Nova, plants, book updates, and whatever I’m eating/drinking that day, so if that’s your jam, DO IT.) Anyway, earlier […]

Adventures in Card Collecting, Part 2 – Digimon

August 1, 2021 by hpholo Leave a Comment

In the course of rediscovering Pokémon cards last month, I made one other fascinating discovery: There’s a new Digimon card game, which came stateside as recently as this January. 😮 Y’ALL. Y’ALL. Preteen me might have liked Pokémon, but when it came to Digimon, she was a straight-up obsessed nerd (like, even more so than […]

Adventures in Card Collecting, Part 1 – Pokémon

July 23, 2021 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Several weeks ago, Jacob made the fateful choice to show me a random article about the insane state of today’s Pokemon card scene. Little did he know what monsters he was about to awaken. 😁 (Yes, plural.) I’ve been a Pokémon fan since age 12, when the series and associated games first started coming to […]

Adventures in Dirt

March 23, 2021 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Recently I was at my local Chick-fil-A, on my way to grab some sweet, holy writing protein, when I saw a dirt pile from the drive-thru line. This was not just any dirt pile. This was a grand 30-foot-tall mountain of sedimentary glory, and as I stared at it, an absolutely Pavlovian burst of happiness […]

Adventures in Mystery Pikachus

November 9, 2020 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Y’ALL. There’s been a mystery brewing in our yard today. When I went to see Jacob off to work at The Real World Job, we spotted a weird item in our neighbor’s yard. We thought it was just a leaf bag, but checked it out anyway to find that it was a random Pikachu beanbag. […]

Adventures in Yard Life

July 26, 2020 by hpholo Leave a Comment

There’s so much happening in my yard to distract me from writing today, y’all. FIRST, a Nova story. Nova gets to sit outside with me when I write because she’s generally well-behaved, doesn’t leave the porch, and doesn’t hunt. Outside cats can be a bane to songbird populations in particular, so I’ve always been glad […]

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 […]
