Bubble & Squeek
February 23, 2016

I’ve been writing a lot on Project Joe. I also just taught at Foolscap and was the writer GoH at RadCon. So, there’s not much to report except that I’m working lots. In lieu of new content, here’s the great big awesome Melissa Allen trilogy round up Bubble & Squeek.

For NEVER LET ME SLEEP, I wrote for SFSignal and Chuck Wendig.

SFSignal: Melissa Allen and Mental Illness.
Five Things I Learned While Writing Never Let Me Sleep.
Bonus 1: The pre-order for the NEVER LET ME SLEEP audiobook is up.
Bonus 2: NEVER LET ME SLEEP has been nominated for the Bram Stoker award for Superior Achievement in Young Adult Novel!

For NEVER LET ME LEAVE, I wrote for Wag the Fox and Damien G. Walter and had an interview with Spotlight Radio.

When It Comes to Fighting Monsters: Why a Bat?
SF Spotlight Radio interview.

For NEVER LET ME DIE, I wrote for Jim Hines.

For NEVER LET ME, the omnibus, I wrote for John Scalzi and Mary Robinette Kowal.

My Favorite Bit: Where Melissa realizes something about herself.

Not a bad list of links, if I do say so myself.

April 1, 2014

I’m honored to have my novelette The House on Concordia Drive offered as an all-backers reward for Lucy A. Snyder’s Kickstarter! Lucy is in collaboration with Alliteration Ink to release Devil’s Field, a new novel in her Jessie Shimmer series. The Kickstarter runs through April 13th, and Lucy’s book is due out in late 2014. All backers receive several great rewards, one of which is an ebook copy of Concordia Drive. This novelette is a prequel to my forthcoming urban fantasy début novel, The Red Eye, which is also being released by Alliteration Ink this spring. The House on Concordia Drive is part mystery, part horror, and part character study.

Audiobooks: Trendane and Liisa are working on my BattleTech Rogue Academy trilogy. Coming soon-ish. More details when I have it but I’m stupidly happy to have Tren and Liisa working on this series. Book Club Pick: I love it when one of my books is selected at a book club (The Reinvented Heart anthology). It happened to Last Days of Salton Academy, too. For Consideration: Hugo award nominations are happening. I would be pleased if you would consider me and @Catrambo for short form editor. “Jennifer Brozek and Cat Rambo, The Reinvented Heart anthology, Publisher: CAEZIK SF & Fantasy, http://arcmanorbooks.com/caeziksf” End of an Era: Ralan.com has closed after 26 years. So much sadness. It was the one...
