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 [...]

Aces & Jokers Find New Home Online!

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

Tor Books’ official Wild Cards page has launched. It looks farkin’ great, and navigates well, which is all-important (too often “good” web design involves gloss interfering with usability, if not making navigation utterly impossible.)

I admit I’m less than enamored with use of Javascript pop-ups for images. [...]

Now they tell me

By sheerest happenstance I just found out the sort of tattoo Annja sports on the cover of Secret of the Slaves is commonly called a “tramp stamp.” That can’t be what the Gold Eagle marketing people had in mind…

How did we get by before the advent of Urban Dictionary?

Boy howdy, they sure do hit on [...]

Busted Flush: it’s a wrap

Yep, the senses-shattering next volume of the illustrious Wild Cards saga has wrapped and is about to be delivered to Tor. It’s called Busted Flush. And unlike the soon-to-be-released Inside Straight, I most definitely am in this one.

Busted Flush is by way of being another mosaic novel – all the stories are intertwined. It’s a [...]

Dreams I’ll ever see?

Of course the original Allman Bros. quote is, “Dreams I’ll never see.”

And these, frankly, have a bit of ambivalence for me. Some parts I’d like to see. Others less.

I didn’t sleep too well last night, for no reason I can perceive; I kept waking up and staying awake, but not long enough to [...]

Wally Conger: Man of Taste!

I follow Wally Conger’s blog, which deals with freedom matters as well as SF – in books, movies, and TV – comics, and other things of interest to geeks. Not that I know anybody like that.

Recently I commented on one of his posts about this John Scalzi fellow all the kids like these days [...]

90 … and counting

You may’ve noticed it’s been a while since I’ve posted here (well, I can hope, can’t I?)

I’ve been deluged by reason of having cleverly gotten behind on two writing projects simultaneously. Clearly, this requires skill. It also helps when you get a low-grade infection that saps your energy and dulls your wits for [...]

Annja’s got a new tat …

… courtesy of the Gold Eagle art department – at the hest of their marketing department, I’m guessing.

 

My author’s copies of my newest Rogue Angel yarn, Secret of the Slaves, hit my front porch while I was off at Archon. If I’d known it was coming I could’ve asked [...]
