January 17, 2010: Spill.com

Some of you are already familiar with Spill. For those who aren’t, it’s a cool entertainment news site, with lots of funny and/or interesting animated reviews and podcasts.

They’re also running a contest/giveaway of several copies of The Conqueror’s Shadow, and one of The Warlord’s Legacy.  😀 Click here for details.

And in the meantime, don’t forget that my own "Say What" contest is still running through the end of the month. Yet more opportunities for free stuff, so get cracking!

January 6, 2010

Hello, folks, and welcome to a new year and–depending on how you interpret your calendar–a new decade. I hope you all had a great holiday season.

As we enter 2010, I’ve got a new D&D book available: The Plane Below. This book, which presents the Elemental Chaos to DMs, is my first time serving as lead designer on a WotC book. Here’s hoping everyone finds it enjoyable.

I’ve got a large article coming up in Dungeon Online as well, as part of the Domains of Dread series. Link to that forthcoming as soon as it goes live.

I’ve also finally hopped aboard Twitter. You can follow me there, as well as on my LJ and Facebook. I don’t expect to be tweeting all that often–mostly professional announcements and the like–but still, if you’re on Twitter, I’d love to have you aboard.

Last but not least, we’re at T -7 weeks until the release of The Conqueror’s Shadow. I am, as you may well imagine, getting rather frantically psyched.

I’ve just sold another novel. 

Pyr–the sci-fi/fantasy imprint of Prometheus books–will be publishing my novel The Goblin Corps. Too early yet in the process to discuss release dates or anything, but as soon as I know, you’ll know.

This makes Pyr the second publisher, after Bantam, to which I’ve sold an original (non-shared-world) novel. The official announcement can be found here.

This, as I’m sure you can well imagine, makes Ari a happy boy.

Welcome, everyone, to the new and improved mouseferatu.com. The change and upgrade are long overdue, and I’m thrilled that they’re finally in place. (Many thanks to Eugie Foster for contributing her expertise.) Feel free to click around, see how things look, discover some new upcoming books. And if you find anything that doesn’t seem to be working properly, by all means, let me know.

So, what news? I’ve got two new articles–Power Play: Martial and Class Acts: Invokers–up on WotC’s Digitial Initiative. In larger news, Draconomicon: Metallic Dragons is out and available. I love how this book turned out, and I think it’s even better than the first Draconomicon. And in even bigger news… Well, more on that shortly.

Hope everyone who celebrates it had a great Thanksgiving.
