Fair Warning: I’m about to get a mite sappy. Last week, I turned in the final edits on The Adversary, the third book of the Sundering (and the third book of the Brimstone Angels/Farideh series). There’s something about turning in a book that feels like giving birth, only somehow backwards. You’re completely consumed by this project, this […]
It’s just a little more than two weeks before Gen Con–did you know that? I didn’t, until I went to their website today and then started panicking and I had to go lay down for a bit. Then I decided I needed to post my schedule, because surely someone wants to see me at Gen Con. Otherwise…well, […]
As promised, here is the cover for Brimstone Angels: Lesser Evils. From the cover copy: First there were three. Mere weeks after escaping Neverwinter, Farideh’s dreams are still haunted by Lorcan, the cambion devil whose power fuels her own. One of only four known descendants of the original Brimstone Angel, Farideh has no regrets about the […]
I don’t like having pictures of my characters. Okay, that’s not exactly true. If someone turned up with fanart of one of my characters, I would be absolutely tickled. But not because I want to see representations of these people—because it was real enough and clear enough to make someone want to recreate it. I loved hearing someone […]
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 […]
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 […]
Brimstone Angels is now available for pre-order from Amazon. If you look for Brimstone Angels on B&N’s website at this point you get this. Rrow. Which reminds me of this blog post I read on Jezebel the other day about nudity on magazine covers. (possibly NSFW depending on how conservative your company is). I don’t […]
Start with a working title: The Tiefling Book. This is just to put on the editor’s schedule and to discuss in meetings. Once you are definitely writing the book, it will have a second name for contract purposes which will either be your last name or the name of the series (in this case “Planetouched […]
