In which I launch my career as a Cheese Magneteer!

During the run-up to Bubonicon (which was swell, by the way – there, that’s my con report) Scott Phillips asked me to join him, Scott Denning, and John Jos. Miller on a panel late Friday night about the blog they all write for called Cheese Magnet.

Pictured: foreshadowing!

Created by a shadowy figure of mystery known [...]

Now comes the scary part

Contracts for my epic fantasy novel THE DINOSAUR LORDS have arrived from Tor. Now I have the read them!

Contests! Win stuff!

Be first to give me my new motto in public, win my latest novel!

Coffee table book ... of doom!

When Emma barked this morning, and I saw the UPS dude across the street, I reckoned the delivery wasn’t for me.

So imagine my surprise when I opened the door late this afternoon to get the mail, and discovered a big box awaiting me on the porch. A big box full of big books.

This book:

A [...]

Online interview

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 [...]

Computational errors

The main reason I’ve been generally incommunicado for a while is that I’ve been afflicted with major computer woes.

But first, since computer problems are so seldom visually exciting (unless they involve, say, actual flames shooting out, which fortunately mine have not,  so far) a somewhat dark but adorable picture of my cats:

Seekrit Projekt Update!

Yes! At last I’ve scored the final ingredient.

Now all that remains is to assemble the pieces I have painstakingly gathered together. Then launch The Process.

Next – World Domination!

No, wait – that’s when I finish The Dinosaur Lords.

Still, I’m really stoked about this Secret Project. Once it gets going I’ll see how my litte cellphone camera [...]

New books land on my porch

I’ve got a new Rogue Angel novel coming out soon.

One of our better covers, yes?

How do I know? The usual: yesterday I heard a truck pull up, Emma barked, and then thump! on my doorstep. Opened the door and there it was:  a little box o’ joy.

The joy’s somewhat mitigated by the [...]

Happy Busted Flush Day!

Okay, it was yesterday. Sorry. I was socked-in tight writing on my new Annja book – getting near done, here. Also, in the evening I went to a tree-trimming way the hell and gone up in the foothills with one of my Meetup groups. Which, by the way, was fun.

Anyway, it’s out, huzzah: [...]

New Wild Cards: BUSTED FLUSH impends!

Yes, the new one’s coming out, December 9. I may’ve been remiss (big surprise) mentioning it, inasmuch as last year I assiduously pimped a Wild Cards book in which I wasn’t, Inside Straight.

Well, I am in this one. Big time.

It’s called, you guessed it, Busted Flush.

It’ll be mega-cool. But don’t take [...]
