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 [...]
I heard from the folks at Subterranean Press that The Great Bazaar and Other Stories is finally shipping! For those of you who were going by the January 31 pub date on Amazon and got e-mails saying there was a delay and whatnot… sorry about that. Amazon dates have never been reliable, because publishers are [...]
Aidan Moher asked me for an excerpt from The Desert Spear to post on his SF blog A Dribble of Ink sometime in March. I agreed and took my personal reference ARC to leaf through, looking for something cool to lift out that didn’t have any spoilers.
An hour later, I realize all I’ve done is [...]
The postal service has been good to me this week.
One of the things about being an author that I’m still coming to terms with is all the awesome books I get for free, often in advance of their on-sale dates. Some of these are my own work, and that’s to be expected, but my publishers [...]
So. Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last week, you’ve probably caught wind of the kerfluffle between Amazon.com and Macmillan books. I first discovered that Amazon had delisted all the Macmillan authors when I went online to buy Old Man’s War by John Scalzi and was baffled as to why this [...]
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 [...]
I feel like I haven’t been updating the old Peephole as much as I’d like these days, but it’s been hard of late. I feel like Rojer trying to juggle with his crippled hand sometimes, moving wildly to try not to drop any of the balls.
2010 has been very busy, and it’s just starting up. [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
Probably one of the most gratifying things about being a writer is seeing how one’s work inspires other people, either creatively or in their daily lives. There is no author I know that doesn’t love reading their fan mail, and who doesn’t have some prized letter or gift displayed in their office that came in [...]
