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
Okay, enough dithering. It’s time to pick some 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 [...]
Toronto Update
Check out Matt’s Blog about our Toronto trip. It is WAY better than mine was.
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 [...]
World Fantasy 2009, Part 1
So I went to WFC this year in San Jose, and had an awesome time. I kept meaning to blog about it, but I came back to a mountain of work, and then I got the swine, and then my computer broke, etc. Due to the comedy of errors the last few weeks of my [...]
Merci Beaucoup
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 [...]
Je ne parle pas Francais tres bien…
Je parle… un peu. Un petite peu.
I know just enough French to tell people my name, and that I don’t speak French very well.
There was a time when I was a little better at it. I got an A- on my French NYS Regents exam, and then took another year of it in college, scoring [...]
Não temas a escuridão!
O Homem Pintado, the Portuguese translation of The Painted Man, went on sale yesterday! I am very excited about that. Portugal’s marketing campaign has been stellar. The publisher, Gailivro, created a TV and web trailer for the book that was fantastic, and meshed perfectly with the powerful cover art. They made awesome reversible demon t-shirts, [...]
