Author, Editor, Media Tie-In Writer

Sale: I just signed the contract for “A Nightmare for Anna” for a forthcoming anthology “By Faerie Light.” Sounds like it’s going to be a fabulous anthology.

Interview: Designer’s Diary: Savage Mojo – Shanghai Vampocalypse (Suzerain) – http://roleplayerschronicle.com/?p=35173

Publication: Happy new book to me! I’m very pleased with CHILDREN OF ANU, the second book in the Karen Wilson Chronicles. It was edited by the awesome John Helfers and the cover image is by Amber Clark of Stopped Motion Photography. The girl on the cover of the book is a representation of one of the villains in the book, 14 year old Victoria Mordecai.

Health: I started using Fitbit just over a month ago. Numerous authors talk about how a healthy mind contributes to a healthy body. I believe it. Thus, Fitbit. There’s something in the awareness of movement and steps taken that make me want to do more. To improve. It’s kind of like having a word count makes me want to write more. I’ve made a concerted effort to move more – number of steps taken and number of flights climbed. It feels good.

Freelance Gig: I’ve been working on a quiet freelance gig for a while. Now I can talk about it. Along with writing for the Shadowrun Returns kickstarter anthology with a story called “Lock and Key,” I’ve been writing and editing on the Shadowrun Returns videogame. I’m loving the work even though it’s hard and sometimes the hours are long. I really think those of you who like videogames will really enjoy it. I’m really happy to be working on it with such fabulous people at Harebrained Schemes.

Sale: Also in the Shadowrun universe, I’ve signed a contract to write a Shadowrun novella focused around a High Threat Response Team Doc Wagon team. Tentatively titled: A Day in the Life of a Lifesaver.

Convention: From June 12-16, I will be at Origins Game Fair as part of their Library. I will be appearing on panels and manning a table selling my books. Please come by and say hello. Get a book signed. There’s a no shyness zone around me. Here’s my list of panels:

Thursday, 12noon – Writing the Other
Friday, 11am – Women Writing Horror
Saturday, 10am – Good Guys Wear Black Hats

Tell Me – David Raiklen

Tell Me
May 28, 2013

I’ve backed this movie kickstarter because it looks like exactly the kind of thing I love. Toss in some of my favorite creators and how could I say no? They are very close to being funded. Here’s David to talk about the awesomeness of working with creatives. —Why Blood Kiss? First, thank you Jennifer for letting me guest blog, I feel honored to contribute here plus it’s great fun. There’s a sense of magic on this site. And that leads to Blood Kiss. There’s a sense of wonder and magic in the screenplay and the people involved. I want to help bring a unique story to life, and work with some of the most wonderful creative people in the world. Neil Gaiman, Amber Benson, Michael Reaves, Tom Mandrake and Daniela Di Mase are warm, funny, creative, and inspiring. Every day one of them says or does something that makes me...
