Randolph Carter* of Grinding to Valhalla interviews me on Wild Cards, gaming, and the craft of writing. Results are pretty good, think I. Please give it a look and, should you feel moved, pass it on.
And speaking of Wild Cards … over on his Not A Blog blog, That American Tolkien Guy reveals the Michael Komarck final cover for our next Wild Cards tome, Suicide Kings, due out in December from Tor. For a bigger look at the awesomeness, click here.
That American Tolkien Guy denounces fanfic.
In other news … I’m getting more and more done on my writing, both revising Dinosaur Lords and writing my next Deathlands yarn, Green Hell. There can’t be said to be a downside to that, yet I’m finding it hard to strike a balance between doing my actual profession and the necessity of updating this blog, here.
I’ll work it out. I hope my entries prove entertaining enough to keep my friends and fans clicking back here, sporadic as they are.
*Doesn’t Randolph Carter sound as if it should be the name of a pulp hero? Or a Lovecraft protagonist? Or is it just me?
Wait - he is.

Compared to me, you post new entries to your blog with the regularity of a Swiss watch. (Swiss? Hell, John Harrison himself could have used you to win the Longitude Prize.)
On the other hand, your reply to this post was immaculately fast. I put it up like 10 minutes ago.
It occurs to me (in part because I just saw your latest on the WC email list (and concur wholeheartedly) that I am remiss in not reminding my other loyal readers, plus anybody who accidentally wandered in here looking for porn (sorry!), that the character portrayed on that awesome cover is Rustbelt, the Man of (Rusty) Steel. Who’s created and written by none other than Ian himself.

Thanks, M! Huge favor.
Not that huge – only 67 people will see it. But maybe a few of them will pass it along.

It all helps. I appreciate.
