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:

Brother and Sister: [...]

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 [...]

Hottest Annja Ever?

At least, the one that looks most as I envision her:

Annja Creed: Lookin’ good!

For a peep at a bigger pic, click here.

And to preorder, not to mention to support this site (and this writer, plus his really popular and appealing dog Emma), click here.

Anyway, as for the book … well, I think it’s a [...]

Who Will Be the Next American Hero?

I can’t tell … and if you want some clues, go here.

Click there now and check it out. Seriously. I’ll still be here when you get back.

Y’all know, probably (and if you don’t, hang around a spell and it’ll all become abundantly clear) that I’m more than somewhat slightly skeptical and cynical about [...]

A New Annja Arrives on My Doorstep

Yesterday (technically, day before now; but I only count it as a new day if I’ve been to sleep) I was awakened by a whump from the front porch, followed by Emma barking furiously.

By the time I found my robe and struggled into it and reeled to the front door I’d figured out, of [...]
