Presented for your enjoyment, the cover to my upcoming novel The Goblin Corps. Illustrated by the esteemed and amazing Lucas Graciano.
The book isn’t due out until third quarter next year, but it’s available for preorder now from several online vendors. (And of course, if you don’t care to wait that long, remember that The Conqueror’s Shadow is available in hardcover now, and due out in paperback next month.)

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.
Happy Halloween to everyone out there.
No major news to report–this is mostly an "I haven’t updated in a while" post–but I hope to have some shortly. If nothing else, several of the D&D books coming out in the next month or two are partly mine, and I’ll link to those as they’re released.
My agent and I have a new novel making the rounds of publishers. Wish us luck.
So, another Gencon has come and gone, another month (and change) has come and gone.
First, as was announced at GenCon, there’s a 4E mega-adventure named after the original Tomb of Horrors coming out next year, on which I did most of the plotting/design and a good chunk of the writing. More on that as it gets nearer.
Similarly, by now you’ve probably all heard that next year’s D&D setting is Dark Sun. Well, what you probably haven’t heard is that I’m doing some work on that as well. Again, details when I can.
The cover for The Conqueror’s Shadow is now up on various sites. Again, that’s due out in February of next year from Bantam.
Finally, if you’re in Austin, or are planning to fly in for the con, I’m going to be at the Magic: the Gathering Pro Tour. I’ll be doing book signings for Agents of Artifice. Laura Resnick, author of The Purifying Fire, will be there as well. Not yet sure what my schedule looks like; more on that soon.
And that, I think, is everything I can discuss for the moment. Lots of things in the hopper that may pan out; wish me luck, and I’ll tell you as soon as anything solid happens.
Due to some last-minute finagling, I’ll be attending GenCon this year after all. Not only that, but it appears I’ve got a signing.
On Saturday, from 11:30 to 12:30, Laura Resnick (author of the Magic: the Gathering novel The Purifying Fire) has a signing scheduled in the TCG Hall. Although my name’s not on the schedule–that whole "last minute" thing–it looks I’ll likely be joining her there to make it a joint signing. While the focus is obviously on the Magic novels–her own, as well as Agents of Artifice–I can’t imagine they’d stop you if you wanted me to sign one of the other books I’ve worked on. (And if you wanted to pick up Agents of Artifice while you were there, just because, I wouldn’t exactly be offended.)
I’m also hoping to attend the 4E Extravaganza seminar on Friday at noon, though I’ll just be there as a guest, not part of the panel.
Hope to be seeing at least some of you there!
