Freaked out

Today’s signing of the latest Wild Cards epic,Fort Freak, was a big success! Got a fine turnout, sold a pretty fair number of books. We had fun, and it seemed as if the audience did too. And, yes, our Esteemed Editor, the very George R.R. Martin himself, turned out (despite the fact he hops on [...]

Get your Freak on!

Fort Freak, that is!

As I mentioned last time, this Saturday, July 9th, 2011, I’ll be signing the latest Wild Cards “mosaic novel” at Page One Bookstore, 11018 Montgomery Blvd NE, 87111 here in Albuquerque, commencing at 2:30 PM.

ACE up my sleeve!

So commencing Friday, June 23rd (that’s tomorrow, for those as calendrically challenged as I tend to be) I shall be manifesting at the Albuquerque Comic Expo.

It's gotta be great! Look at how thrilled this little guy is!

Some days it just ain't worth [...]

Any year you can walk away from is a good year

Fortunately, my odds look good of leaving 2010 on my own two feet, with quiet smile and head held high.

Signing KINGS, plus Kitty

Another year, another Wild Cards signing!

This time out Melinda Snodgrass, Daniel Abraham, John J. Miller, Caroline Spector, Ian Tregillis, and of course, Victor Milán (dot’s I’m!) will be signing the concluding volume of our current Committee triad, Suicide Kings. Also. Wild Carder Carrie Vaughn will be there; she doesn’t have a piece in Suicide Kings, [...]

Up all night

Gee, I hope not. And I can’t literally be. I was sound asleep and Emma Dog roused me crying to go outside; that’s the only reason I’m up and around at this Godless hour. When Emma wants out, I let her out. I’m just going to say she’s a big dog, and let it go [...]

Wild Cards in Lit and Life

I need to be better about updating my blog. So here’re some quick and semi-random notes.

First, I’m hustling to polish off my story for the new standalone Wild Cards anthology, Fort Freak. It’s kind of a Sidney Lumet yarn: lots of conversation and conspiracy, then somebody gets shot. But light-hearted.

No, really. Mostly. It does get [...]

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 [...]

Stuff happens

Now there’s a snappy blog post title. I am the King of SEO!

Okay. Maybe not. Under the circumstances, it’s as close an approximation to a snappy title as I can muster. Deal.

First, though: enjoy the swell cartoon above, courtesy of Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal. Thanks to haikubica for turning me onto SMBC when [...]
