Since I can’t find a credit, I can but attribute it to [...] Tonight, August 5th 2011, I’ll be telling the Albuquerque Science Fiction Society all about my epic fantasy novel THE DINOSAUR LORDS, coming from Tor in early 2013, and the ensuing trilogy. I don’t want to overload you with Emma Dog. (I know – too late.) But since she’s also like the biggest single draw for the blog, I’m going to anyway.
