Author, Editor, Media Tie-In Writer

Event – Monday, 18 March, from 6-9pm, I (Battletech, Shadowrun) will be joining James Sutter (Pathfinder) and Jak Koke (Shadowrun) for Games & Gizmos first ever book signing in Redmond, WA. Come join us to buy books, get your books signed, and kick it with three RPG authors. We’ll be hanging out, playing boardgames, and answering all of your questions that we can. There will be mini-cupcakes and sandwiches to snack on. I suspect, since Paizo is local, there will be more Paizo people joining the fun in an unofficial capacity.

Review – Roleplayers Chronicle gave Colonial Gothic: Locations a very nice review.

Announcement – Cat Labs announced the Shadowrun Returns Anthology Reward For Kickstarter Backers and I’m one of the authors for it.

Announcement – I’ve been sitting on this for a while but now I can announce that I am co-editing an anthology with Jean Rabe for Mad Norwegian Press. It’s called Chicks Dig Gaming and it is part of the “Chicks Dig” line of non-fiction essays by women in SFF. I absolutely adore this anthology we’re creating. I’ll get ya’ll a link to stuff as soon as I have it. Chicks Dig Gaming is due out in November 2013

Cover art. While I was out at the Rainforest Village Writer Retreat, the cover for Writing Fantasy Heroes popped up. It has a fab line up of people.

Origins Quotes

conventions, Writer Advice
June 18, 2014

Some really awesome things said to me at Origins. I want to remember them. It’s quotes like these that make going to conventions and working my butt off worth the sweat and toil. “I want to be you when I grow up. You are just awesome.” “Last year, you told me that I should consider writing short stories because they do have a faster turnaround than novels. I did that and I just recently made my first sale.

I mean, I’m not that old nor that little, but I am falling into some of the tropes—I like my British murder mysteries, I like to watch my backyard birdfeeder, I prefer lemon or vanilla as a sweet flavor, and I really like my physical, analog puzzles. In specific, these days I like Ravensburger puzzles—500 or 750 pieces. I discovered my love of analog puzzles because I needed something to occupy me…away from the computer…that I could spend some time working on but also get the dopamine hit for finishing the project. It’s one of the reasons I used to crochet. Unfortunately, I discovered that crocheting, along with typing, made my wrists hurt and that just wouldn’t do as a relaxing fill-the-well type of...
