November 19, 2012: Triumph Over Tragedy

So, a little while ago, I heard about a project being put together by fellow author R. T. Kaelin. Called Triumph Over Tragedy, it’s an anthology intended to benefit the areas and people hit by Hurricane Sandy, and all proceeds go toward the Red Cross relief efforts. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to contribute a story of my own, and to see how many other authors responded as well. We need your help, though. If you’re willing to contribute, please visit the project’s page over at IndieGoGo, and maybe chip in a few bucks to help us help others.

Even if you can’t, just spreading the link around would be of great help.

Thanks, everyone.

PS: The Civilian Reader blog has an entry about the project, in which several participating authors discuss their own contributions. You can find that here. I, of course, being the chatterbox that I am, wrote a much longer response than they expected, so it’s up as a separate post. That’s here. But if you’re just going to click on one link, please choose the project page, above.

November 1, 2012: Diving Deep

Happy November. (How is it that this year has dragged on forever, and yet I can’t believe it’s November already?!) I know I haven’t updated in a while. Got more than a few things looming, but I’m not allowed to talk about any of them yet.

What I can say is that issue #5 of Shock Totem is, after some unfortunate delays, available for purchase. A magazine of the horrific and the weird, Shock Totem worth getting in and of itself. In this case, however, I do also have a short story appearing in those pages. "In Deepest Silence" is, at the same time, both a bit of a departure for me, and yet entirely my style. You’ll know what I mean when you read it. I’m quite proud of how it came out; I hope you enjoy it.

September 13, 2012: SF Signal Podcast

Hey, guys. The folks at SF Signal were desperatekind enough to invite me on their program. We talk about Darksiders, the Widdershins series, lots of other stuff–and, just maybe, offer a few tiny hints of what’s coming. 😎

You can check out the podcast here.

And now for our semi-regular tease: A few really big announcements coming in the not too distant future. I suggest checking back here obsessively, at least every day if not more, until it happens. 😉

January 30, 2012: New books availalbe now

Hey, folks. Hope you’ve been having a good new year thus far.

Although it’s a bit early, Thief’s Covenant is now available from some online vendors. If you’ve been waiting to get this one, wait no more. Links to the major online sellers can be found on the book’s own page.

Second, Tales of the Far West, a short story anthology to which I contributed–along with quite a few other amazing authors, including Scott Lynch!!–is also available. Click on over to that page for details.

Finally, keep on eye on this site. I have a couple of major announcements coming in the next few days. 🙂

August 26, 2012: CopperCon!

So, CopperCon’s coming up next week. (So is DragonCon, and WorldCon, and a couple of others. But due to an appalling lack of either cloning or transporter technology, I can’t attend all of them. Stupid future.) I’m the Guest of Honor at this year’s CopperCon–and it is, indeed, an honor, as it’s my first GoH invite–so I’m hoping to meet at least a few of you there.

My tentative schedule, if you’ll be attending (or just in the area), looks like this:

Opening Ceremonies, Friday, August 31st, 7:00 PM

Meet the Guest, Saturday, September 1st, 12:00 PM

Panel: Magic Creatures and Imaginary Lands, Saturday, September 1st, 2:00 PM, with Rick Cook and Veronica Baxter

Panel: Sending the Wrong Message, Saturday, September 1st, 9:00 PM, with Janeen O’Kerry and Jordan Summers

Signing, Sunday, September 2nd, 12:00 PM

Panel: How Publishing Will Change, Sunday, September 2nd, 6:00 PM, with Jeffrey Mariotte and Jordan Summers

Panel: Urban Fantasy, Sunday, September 2nd, 8:00 PM, with Jordan Summers

Panel: Writing in a Tabletop Universe, Monday, September 3rd, 12:00 PM, with Jeffrey Mariotte and Ken St Andre

———————

Again, that’s a tentative schedule, subject to a bit of tweaking here and there. (I’m hoping to drop in on a few of the other panels, and if not officially participate, then at least make a nuisance of myself from the peanut gallery.) 😉

I believe that some of my novels should be available from dealers in the vendors’ room at the con, but I can’t swear to which ones. I’m also happy to sign anything you bring with you. Well, assuming I worked on it.

Or it’s cool.

See you there!
