First off, a few bits of good Messenger news:
1) My US publisher, Del Rey Books, sent me an e-mail on Friday that they had received copies of The Desert Spear from the printer, and they look awesome. I am bouncing in my seat to see my samples on Monday.After three years of writing/editing and another [...]

Desert Spear Review at SFF Chat
It’s getting to be about that time!
No, not Lent. Better. It’s time for Desert Spear reviews to start popping up!
The first comes from the blog SFF Chat. You may recall that blog editor Simcha won a copy in the Desert Spear ARC Contest by risking life and limb walking a metal beam over a deep [...]
The Messenger Rode In…
And brought me a box of presents:
That’s right, The Warded Man is finally going to hit mass-market paperback in the US, just in time to whet appetites for The Desert Spear. If you’ve been on the fence about shelling out for the hardback, or just want the awesome new cover, the MMPB goes on sale [...]
Medieval Princesses with Dragon Tattoos Love TPM
Don’t believe me? Here’s proof from French Jess:
DSAC Round 2
I haven’t been blogging as much as I used to. Part of this is being super-busy, but another part of it is circumspection, out of a desire not to offer any spoilers about The Great Bazaar or The Desert Spear before people get a chance to read those stories for themselves. In the same vein, [...]
Thankful
I am very much aware of how incredibly fortunate I am, having my work published all over the world in many languages. This is an opportunity that was unheard of for all but the most blockbusting genre authors just a few short years ago, but the internet has made the world smaller. Thanks to advanced [...]
DSAC Winners

I’ve kind of been dragging my feet with this contest on purpose, hoping that my UK ARCs of The Desert Spear would arrive early in the month and I could add those to the pot, but I don’t know exactly when they are going on press, so [...]
Patrick Rothfuss Interview (and another way to win a Desert Spear ARC)
A few months ago, Patrick Rothfuss, author of the internationally bestselling epic fantasy novel The Name of the Wind and all-around nice guy, asked me if I would be interested in doing an interview on his blog.
Of course I said yes. To date, I have never turned down an interview request, but this one was [...]
More 2010 DSAC Entries
I haven’t been updating the website so frequently lately because I’ve been making really good progress on The Daylight War, the book that will follow The Desert Spear in the Demon Cycle. Still, the deadline for the next giveaway in the Desert Spear ARC Contest (DSAC), January 15, is soon to be upon us. I [...]
Desert Spear ARC Contest Update
Apologies for the silence for the last couple of weeks. I’d like to claim it was all the holidays, but the flu bug seems to like my house. This time it hit my wife, and left me on full-time baby duty. I think I did a decent job as Mr. Mom, but it left little [...]
