I’ve been thinking a lot about Leonard Nimoy since hearing about his passing yesterday. It was so good to see the outpouring of love and affection from the geek community for this icon of a man—Mr. Spock’s passing should be, and was, sort of a worldwide day of nerd...

This week has been a lot of fun (notwithstanding some creeping crud’s mostly unsuccessful attempt to get hold of me the last few days). I don’t think there’s been another week when I’ve had so many different things going on to make me feel like...

Just a week or so ago, I found out that my Shadowrun novel’s publication date got pushed up from August to April. Wow, that was a happy (but somewhat terrifying!) surprise! Suddenly, instead of having 8 months to prepare, I’ve only got about three. I guess...

This isn’t going to be one of those “here’s everything I did in 2014” updates. Partly because my brain is full of squirrels, who like to carry off relevant bits of information, hide it, and forget where they put it. I could probably reconstruct...

I think I’ve successfully connected this blog to Facebook, so when I post here, it will mirror it there (yeah, I know, don’t laugh.) If it works, then I’ll start updating my blog more often because there’s a chance somebody might read it. This...

Back from Gen Con. I’d say it was a big success, both fun-wise and writer-wise. Attended a whole bunch of seminars in the Gen Con Writers’ Symposium (who really put on a great event)– lots of well-known authors, including special guest Jim Butcher,...

Back from Comic Con and mostly settled in. Had a great time as always–attended some good panels (one on marketing for writers, one on agents and what they’re looking for, and one on urban fantasy with Jim Butcher on it), got to be on the panel for the...

I’m always on the lookout for new stuff to read, especially new urban fantasy stuff. I don’t have as much time to read as I used to (too many other things going on) so I tend to be a very picky reader. If something doesn’t grab my attention in the...

Wow, I wrote this 13 years ago. I entered it in a contest on Shapcano’s website, and it was a winner. Sadly, Shapcano passed away last year and his website is gone now. I hunted this down using the Wayback Machine and discovered I’m still pretty happy with...

I just found out that I get to be on the panel at SDCC for the Scribe Awards, which is the award for the International Association of Media Tie-In Writers. I have no illusions: I’m sure I made it because there aren’t very many members going to Comic Con....
