It’s been a slow summer for my writing, but there are a few odds and ends worth reporting.
First, for those of you not already aware, Brimstone Turnpike is finally available. For the first time, my name graces the front page of Cemetery Dance’s website. Bask in the glory while you can. If you’ve ordered from [...]

My German-language publisher, Otherworld Verlag, sent me scans of my appearance in Virus magazine. It’s a PDF file you can check out right here. The first two pages are the interview itself (you’ll have to understand German to read it), followed by a page with an Otherworld ad featuring Das Tödliche Geschlecht (aka Deadliest of [...]

It was a good ego stroke to get home and find people talking about me. If people aren’t talking about your books, people aren’t buying them. Not that I have any to sell right now… Maybe I should revise that: if people aren’t talking about your books, publishers have no reason to print them.

The weekend weather teased us, hitting about sixty degrees yesterday afternoon [...]

I’ve just heard from the folks at Otherworld Verlag, and it would appear the German edition of Deadliest of the Species, Das todliche Geschlecht, will be appearing in June.
This is exciting stuff! I realize many of my English-speaking fans may not be able to get their hands on this book, but it will be fun [...]

If someone were to ask me how this year went, my first reaction would be to call it a write-off. Then I got to thinking about it, and it actually hasn’t been so bad after all. Let’s look back, shall we?
I started the year by selling the German rights to Deadliest of the Species to [...]
