Author, Editor, Media Tie-In Writer

So much writing on Project Joe! Other than my computer setup exploding on me recently, requiring me to get a new keyboard and to vacuum the dust from the computer, my life is mostly about writing and editing. And petting demanding cats.

EVENT – READING: I will be reading at the University Bookstore in Seattle on Jan 26th. Please come! There will be cookies and book giveaways and I’ll be reading from NEVER LET ME which Publisher’s Weekly calls “a strong, entertaining tale.”

And now back to your irregularly scheduled Bubble & Squeek.

Article: MIND MELD: The Growth and Future of SF/F. An interesting question.

Article: Nightmare Magazine – The H Word: Shifting Away From the Common. I talk about what I enjoy about shapeshifters that aren’t werewolves.

Blog: I have a guest blog over at Jim Hines’s Blog site about revealing personal details in your writings. I didn’t manage to post about this more than once. So, here it is again.

Event: I am a workshop leader at Foolscap on Feb 5th. I’m teaching a class on writing series called “Combat in the Land of Forgotten Details.”

Review: Publisher’s Weekly reviewed NEVER LET ME. It’s a good review. I’m happy with it. I don’t even mind the quibble.

SALE: COLONIAL GOTHIC: LOST TALES. This is one of those “oops, I have a fiction collection” sales. Totally unexpected but very happy for it.

SALE: MAKEDA RED. I’m running the shadows again. This time in novel form. I’ve wanted to write a Shadowrun novel for ages. Now I get to. MAKEDA RED stars the protagonist from my Shadowrun short story, “Rune’s Avatar Cafe.”
