I’ve finished MAKEDA RED. I’ve edited 3 novels and I’m on a novella. I’m starting to prep for WorldCon and Tracon—both of my schedules require research. Life is slowing down. It is. But this is the calm before the storm.

Article: On the Semiotic Standard: The Collective: Bringing Books to Film. I didn’t cheat and say Melissa Allen. I talked about my true love… THE DARK TOWER.

Awesome: The daughter of a friend has just cosplayed one of my characters: Melissa Allen. Achievement unlocked!

Review: Nice review for the World of Shadows anthology from Forgotten Tomes.

In the SFWA section…

SFWA Chat Hour about game writers… wherein we talk about the background behind the decision to admit gamer writers.

Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America to Admit Game Writers. The actual guidelines.

Follow-up SFWA Admits Gamewriters, All Heck Breaks Loose, Film at 11.

No, the guidelines aren’t perfect. Yes, we are looking at specific cases. Yes, it will take time. We will not be making a knee-jerk reaction to everything.
