Some links that are long overdue: The Tome Show reads The God Catcher and interviews me. Erik Scott de Bie (author of Shadowbane) and I talk about Brimstone Angels and Neverwinter. BrutalGamer loves Brimstone Angels Read Between the Lines does too! Suvudu sums it up nicely (interview to come) And if now you really want […]
November has brought two very exciting releases to my life. (One of these makes sure the other gets fed.*) That’s my son, Idris, and my second novel, Brimstone Angels. So far both are getting excellent reviews, although honestly most of Idris’s reviewers are slightly biased. We really cannot say for certain if he is the […]
Often when I tell people what I write, they want to know how it works with regards to the game. The default assumption is that someone hands me an outlined story and says “Write this.” (That’s not what happens). The follow-up assumption is that they give me a transcript of the game to novelize. (That’s not […]
Next week, I’ll be in Indianapolis for GenCon 2011. My schedule is still forming in some ways, but the thing the wide, wild internet should potentially care the most about is the signing I’ll be doing. Friday from 12:30-1:30 PM, I’ll be signing with Ed Greenwood. Bring God Catchers and Realms of the Deads* and […]
Stuck in traffic. Chat on social pressures geeky boys vs. geeky girls face winds down with surely obnoxious proto-parental musings on how OUR boy do better. Lull. “By the way, I put that conversation we had about Sean Bean up on my blog, and–” “WHO?” “The Fellowship of the Ring guy!” “WHICH ONE?” “Boromir, damn […]
Let me make something perfectly clear: the man I married is fantastic. I’m pretty bad at writing down all the reasons I think that—mostly they’re too big and broad and messy. Example: How do you sum up the fact that you appreciate the fact that he does half the housework (including vacuuming because, holy gods, […]
It’s been a year now since I was laid off from my job as a novels editor at Wizards of the Coast. Looking back, it’s pretty clear this wasn’t my best year. Also I’m slightly worried about my novels coming true in real life to some extent . . . Write a book about a […]
There is a character in Brimstone Angels, who tested my patience, readers: he steadfastly refused all of my attempts at naming him. In my initial notes, this character was called Mallok. He was the clear and obvious human villain of what would become Brimstone Angels. Mallok sounds like a good, cackly evil name, wouldn’t you […]
Today, I am thirty. This is less dramatic than I ever expected. I suspect it’s partly because I’ve watched the husband be a thirty something for around three years. His crystal has yet to change colors. And partly because I worked in book publishing long enough to stretch my sense of the calendar. I’ve been […]
Over the next few days you may notice changes in the site. I have a designer working on a new (very cool) look. She needs to test a few things, so you may get a sneak peek if you show up at the right moment, and possibly you may find some things momentarily unavailable. Hopefully, […]
