OLD News

Pyr recently released their hundredth fiction title: The Wolf Age, by James Enge. In celebration, they’ve made Traveller’s Rest, a novelette of Enge’s, available for free in epub and Kindle formats. Having read Enge’s previous two books–Blood of Ambrose and This Crooked Way–I can tell you that he’s one of the better S&S writers working today. If that’s your thing, you owe it to yourself to at least check out Traveller’s Rest. Like I said, free. Guaranteed to be worth more than it costs. 😉

Barring any last-minute surprises, tomorrow should mark the completion of the latest round of edits on Household Gods. After that–unless the editor has a problem with said edits–there’s nothing left but to wait for the final copy-editing pass down the road.

It’ll be interesting to see people’s reactions to this one. 🙂

Court of Stars: The Bramble Queen (in Dungeon #185) was published by Wizards of the Coast for Dungeons & Dragons 4E as electronic material in the D&D Insider.

Got a new Suvudu column up, in which I discuss my own particular peculiarities when it comes to the creative mind. (Or whatever it is I have that passes for a mind these days…)

This one is for the writers and RPG gamers out there.

What draws you to a character?

Not as far as reading, but creating. When you’re coming up with a new book, or preparing for a new campaign, what draws you? You need to create someone who’s both interesting and sympathetic enough for you to live with for a few hundred pages, or a few dozen game sessions, if not more. (Though obviously, the lines are drawn differently for everyone.) So what do you look for? What do you try to add? What must or must not be present for this to be a character you’re both comfortable and interested in writing/portraying?
