So yes, this has pretty much become the Nightmare Garden/Iron Codex 24-Hour Fun Channel, and for those of you who don’t come here for the book stuff, I apologize. But my release date is only four short days away, and it’s pretty crazy up in here, so I’m going to post a whole slew of Nightmare Garden stuff and hopefully there will be something for ( Read more... )

I’m going to be at New York ComicCon this weekend, like the sidebar says, and here’s my panel information:

Now, part of me is going “Whee Tamora Pierce yay OMG how will I find anything to say??” and part ( Read more... )

Actually, what I’m out of are media appearances.  I’m working on a guest blog right now, and after that, my folder is empty!

If you’d like to interview me or have me guest blog, I’m available, and since I have a book coming out at the end of August, I’m in promotion mode right now.  So if you’ve ever wanted to ask me questions about life, the ( Read more... )

The blog, that is.  Me, I’m not so sure about.

I finished the edits to Iron Codex II yesterday, as well as typing up a hugely expanded outline for Book 3, and sent them to my editor.  I calculated I added something like 35,000 words to this draft of the novel.  I don’t even know. My brain is leaking out my ears and I’m in that dazed stage where I ( Read more... )

I can stand to watch exactly two films about Writers Writing: The Shining and Throw Momma From the Train.  I find the rest of them (yes, even Misery, which, aside from Cathy Bates,  is a pale imitation of the novel), to generally be trite, boring, pretentious or inaccurate to varying degrees.  (You don’t want to know how hard I hurled objects at ( Read more... )

Yeah, so...I seem to have wiped out my old theme and all my settings during a recent update ( Read more... )

How long did it take you to write this particular novel and how long between novels does it usually take to write a new one? How many pages/hours do you write a day?

They were referring to Street Magic. I'd say it took me about five months to write, if you ( Read more... )

I got a packet of edits for Shades of Gray that I'd really like to have off my desk by Monday, so blogius interruptus will commence (re-commence, really) until then. As always, I am on Twitter far more frequently than I pull together an actual post ( Read more... )

After a nice time at Baltimore ComicCon (where I hung out with Stacia and some lovely folks from the Marvel offices, said hey to my Twitter bud Matt Fraction, bought a print from lovely fellow Venture Bros. fangirl Annie Wu and got a sketch of Wolverine for donating money to the Humane Society)(which is the best way to obtain a sketch of Wolverine ( Read more... )
