Hi all,      I’ve only got time for a quick report on happenings over the past couple of weeks, as I’m busy not only catching up from that but for getting ready for the Month O’ Conventions more commonly known as August.  But as usual, the happenings have been valuable ones: 1. Readercon was a […]

July has arrived, and as we head towards the middle of the summer I wanted to check in with a few quick updates.  First, I’ve finally managed to get some panels and readings from my past three conference/conventions posted over on my Media page–I had hoped to get them up a lot earlier, but work […]

I just got back from Columbus after a great Origins convention weekend, and as promised I wanted to post a couple of my thoughts before I head off again for a couple of days with the family (and in between writing projects on top of that)–and also update you on a cool new Kickstarter I’m […]

Just a quick post to note that I’m on my way to Columbus, Ohio for the Origins convention, which has now become the unofficial beginning of summer for me–kind of like a smaller, quieter GenCon, but with lots of the same great features (great writers, many of them good friends, interesting panel discussions and readings, […]

Hi all,      It’s been a busy time, but I wanted to take a moment between sessions of grading, submissions and of course writing to update everyone on what’s been going on with me recently–for the most part, all fun (and positive) stuff: 1.  Two weeks ago I took part in my first Norwescon, the […]

Hi all, I’m on my way to Canada for my fifth appearance at Ad Astra, the long running fantasy and science fiction convention in Toronto (well, Markham, but you get the idea).  I’ll be on a number of panels (including one with Ed Greenwood and Jim Butcher!), and as always you can see the details […]

Hi all,      I’m happy to report that thanks to the tremendous work of webmaster extraordinaire Kevin Grinberg, my website is fully back online after a database collapse, and we’ve taken the opportunity to make some overhauls to the look and feel of the site.  Those tweaks will continue over the next few weeks, but […]

Hi all,      Just a quick note to say that the website is going through a major restoration job after our original host had a massive outage; there’s a lot of work yet to be done, and until it is the website will look mostly, well, empty.  Database backups are on the way, and we […]

I’ve started to get some of my schedules for upcoming conferences, and it’s reminded me how much traveling I’m going to be doing over the next six months.  I’ll be at Norwescon in Seattle at the end of March, Ad Astra in Toronto a week later, Origins in Columbus in June, Readercon in Boston in […]

Just a quick note to let everyone know that the Triumph Over Tragedy anthology, edited by R.T. Kaelin, has just been released on Amazon (Barnes and Noble version to come).  I have a story (“The Caretaker of Mire”) in this antho, the proceeds of which are all going to the Red Cross to help victims […]
