If you missed out on the mayhem, I just participated in a Live Chat RPG on Suvudu with authors Ari Marmell, Diana Rowland, Jason Thompson, along with some fans. It was, as you might expect, utterly bizarre. You can click the link and scroll through the chat in its entirety, though it ran in real [...]
Live Chat RPG on Suvudu
Kaitlin Heller, one of the editors at Del Rey books, is a nerd.
I know, I know. That’s hardly a surprise, and Creator knows I live in a glass house in that regard. I’m just saying.
Kaitlin has been trying to get a Del Rey D&D game between authors and editorial going for quite some time, but [...]
Facebook Frenemies
They say you should never friend your boss on facebook. Or give them your blog URL. Apparently the same rule applies for authors and their editors. If you can get past Blake Charlton’s ranting about his swine flu-contaminated roommate, NYT Bestselling Author Brent Weeks and his editor Devi will illustrate this clearly:
Alternate title for [...]
Fun with Brent, Blake and Gail
You may recall that I took a ton of funny videos at the World Fantasy Convention this past October, and never posted them. My bad. In part it is because I came down with a flu son after, and then came my trip to Toronto, and then the holidays, and then Dani had the flu, [...]
Added Incentive
Two entries in the Desert Spear Arc Contest so far. The first was Elijah from here in NYC, who sent me his entry within hours of my announcing the contest:
The next day this beautiful and eerie submission came from Emily:
Emily didn’t specify where she was from, but since she has the TPB edition, I am [...]
Der große Basar
German readers, may I announce Der große Basar, my expanded collection of short stories set in the demon world! It will publish May 1, 2010, just a month after Das Flustern der Nacht. It will include the two Arlen novellettes, The Great Bazaar and Brayan’s Gold, as well as deleted scenes from Das Lied der [...]
Toronto Afterlife
Just got back last night from my visit to Toronto and the set of Resident Evil: Afterlife (in 3D). It was a fantastic trip, both from a business standpoint and for the gleeful SF fanboy inside me.
My buddy Matt and I flew in Thursday and thanks to the negotiating power of Hollywood, got to stay [...]
Taking Off
Please excuse any awkward formatting on this post. I’m doing it from my phone.
At the airport now, heading off with Maxim-stylish wingman Matt Bergin to Toronto to the set of Resident Evil 4 (in 3D), which is being directed by the eminent Paul WS Anderson and produced by the awesomely last-named Jeremy Bolt, the duo [...]
World Fantasy 2009, Part 2
As I mentioned in the first WFC post, one of the best things about the convention is meeting virtual friends and coworkers in person, often for the first time. Sometimes when you don’t even expect it.
Back in 2004, I started a small blog on a site called Journalscape. It started mostly a platform for me [...]
SFWA Mill & Swill 2009
Went to the Science Fiction Writers of America annual NY publishing reception on Monday night at Planet Hollywood in Times Square. Like World Fantasy, this is an event I never miss, since as someone who works from home, it is a rare chance to see all my peers and coworkers in person.
I had a really [...]
