In preparation for Tuesday's reading at Borderlands Books, Night Shade was kind enough to do an interview for their website, wherein I ramble on about all things LIGHTBREAKER, including giving a brief overview of what is to come in later books.

Additionally, Rick Kleffel at the Agony Column has posted some commentary on LIGHTBREAKER, where he ( Read more... )

Celebrating the release of Lightbreaker, there will be a reading on June 16th at Borderlands Books, in San Francisco ( Read more... )

Blue Tyson does his mini review of Lightbreaker at his Not Free SF Reader site. "An urban fantasy novel that is a lot more Hellblazer, Mage and Highlander than it is high heels, hot pants and horizontal vampire mambo." This makes me laugh, and I'm glad he's offered such a concise distinction.

You really need to read the rest of his reviewthough ( Read more... )

Twenty-four pages left. 2 - 4. Mostly minor line edits with one or two holes to fill, and HEARTLAND will be wrapped. Man, talk about close.

I picked up April's Locus and discovered that Night Shade Books has given Lightbreaker the half page spread of their ad. Half. Page. Ad. In Locus. For my little book.

That makes my day.

Norwescon this weekend for local peeps. My schedule is a few entries back, for those who'd like to stop by and say hello. Other than those times and ( Read more... )

She's not yet three.

I am doomed.

Where The Wild Things Are

If there was ever a man who would do this right, it is Spike Jonze. The trailer alone has reduced this house to tears.

barthanderson pointed me toward one of the more fascinating uses for Twitter the other day. Weiser Books is pulling a tarot card twice a day (#1card and #nightcard). Tarot devotees are responding with interpretations (tagged with the corresponding tag, of course). I wasn't going to get sucked in, until this morning's card. The Moon.
