So a while back, the nice folks at my UK publisher, which also happens to be Jackson Pearce's UK publisher, asked if Jack and I would be interested in doing a video together.

And speaking of multimedia, I discovered today that the complete and unabridged audiobook of Knife as read by ( Read more... )

I have been waiting and waiting for the opportunity to share this good news, and today I finally got the go-ahead from my agent to tell the world about it --
