Second Life…

So I’m looking to host an event in Second Life. I’m new to SL, and very new to hosting an event there (read: I haven’t organized one before), but I understand that you need to have a location to do so. I’ve been poking around to see if there’s a public place that I can [...]

Woo hoo!

My story, “How Peacefully the Desert Sleeps”, is now up at IGMS. Your assignment? Go read. Now. Go on… And report back here once you have…

Cow and Boy…

Just came across this Cow and Boy comic, sent to me from the Growlery. Ok, I have to admit that I fall into the Blidootch camp of fantasy writing, but hey, there’s people that like that stuff, right? I mean, I like it. Doesn’t just about everyone else? What about you? Are you a Blidootcher?

News on the RoF story

I spoke with the Realms of Fantasy folks and it looks like my story, “Lest Our Passage Be Forgotten”, will appear in the April 2008 issue, which hits the newsstands early February. I’ll be sure to post a tickler once it actually comes out. Plus I’m sure I’ll plaster any artwork Realms will allow me [...]

Aloft and furl!

Aye, me hardies, it be true. I be joinin’ in on me first ever talk like a pirate day. So, easy on the lubber’s tongue, if ye please, and make sure to be hidin’ the rum from the cap’n. No sense lettin’m know ye’re gunnels under, now is there?

GenCon Report

Well, it’s been a few weeks now since I was at GenCon, so I know I’m late with a report, but I’ve been busy! I traveled from Indy up to Milwaukee and flew straight away to Sacramento for a work gig (I work for IBM). GenCon was a lot of fun. I was invited to [...]

RoF, baby!

I just got the word, I guess unofficially at this point, that my story, “Lest Our Passage Be Forgotten”, has been picked up by Realms of Fantasy. I’m completely psyched, because I’ve been trying to break into RoF for quite a few years now. I subscribe and I really like the content of the magazine. [...]

I’m so proud…

So yesterday I was wearing a tee-shirt given to me by the gifted and generous Sam Butler, and my daughter, 21-months old, points to it and says “orc.” ::sniffs:: Could a poppa be any prouder?

The Kite Runner

I heard an interview with Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner, on NPR yesterday. It got me interested in the book, but before I take the plunge, anyone ever read it?

My Simpson’s Avatar

Simpsons Avatar

Here’s mine. You can create your own here. I thought the three-eyed fish was appropriate because, like Homer, I used to work at a nuke plant. Come to think of it, I’d better check Relaneve for a third eye…

My first post…

On my new blog, anyway… This is exciting stuff. I just switched to a new website provider (BlueHost, in case you’re wondering), complete with a built-in blogging tool, WordPress. I’m excited to move off of my old FrontPage interface and into the 21st Century! The site make look a bit raw for a week or [...]

Winds progress…

Winds progress…

Moving right along… I’m stopping for a little bit because I reached the end of 3 chapters, the point at which I said I would stop and revise and send out for comment. Well, I’m going through the revising process, and I promptly found a new scene I needed to add. I’m about halfway through [...]

Come on, now…

Come on, now…

I mean, really, how can my blog be rated: while 's is rated NC-17? What's up with that? In other news … it's been 1 year since my Clarion experience began. I saw that same bit of information posted on 's site, and I was like, is he high? I know it's getting into summer, [...]

The Sopranos

Well, if you're a Sopranos fan, you've got to know by now. I'm not sure which camp you're in, but I loved the ending. I'm not a member of the Whack-a-Week club. Never was. I knew the series was about the entire family. That's what I liked about it, so I never really minded when [...]

Dimensions Next Door…

Remember that story I wrote about a few months ago, the one about the woman who was trying to save her daughter from the people in the mirrors? Well, that was accepted this past week to the Dimensions Next Door anthology, a DAW antho that will be coming out in the fall of 2008. A [...]

My first reprint…

And it's a doozy. Orson Scott Card recently contracted with TOR to publish a selection of stories that have appeared in the first four issues of OSC's Intergalactic Medicine Show. My story, “In the Eyes of the Empress's Cat,” was selected as one of those that will appear in the anthology. Woo hoo! I've never [...]

Dinner with a fellow Clarionite…

I had dinner with tonight. We went BBQing, Famous Dave's to be exact. The food was good, but it was much more fun catching up on the writing biz and what we've both been doing since Clarion. I saw Steve at WisCon, but it was just too busy there to really catch up. Thanks for [...]

Winds update…

Winds update…

I'm just about to write the kick-ass ending of Chapter 2. This is the scene that sets up the entire rest of the book, and I've been thinking about it for a long time so I know it's going to be a breeze to write. And a lot of fun. I just hope the actual [...]

I'm in shock…

I just found out that my story, “In the Eyes of the Empress's Cat”, was voted a Notable Stories of 2006 by the Million Writers Award, conducted by storySouth. How cool is that? I literally gasped when I saw my name, because I quickly scanned the writers and didn't catch it at first. I'm very [...]
