Writing lessons and the writing life
Well, I’m back.
Apollocon was fun and I had a great time hanging out with old friends and new. The con was small-ish but lively, what with gamers and costumed fans mingling with the usual writerly crowd.
The book cover panel was highlighted by John Picacio and Lou Anders discussing what makes a good cover, what makes [...]
Just a reminder, I will be in Houston this weekend for Apollocon. I will be sharing a reading time with Martha Wells, whose novels include The Wizard Hunters, a very fun fantasy adventure, and I will also be signing autographs.
My schedule is as follows. Please stop by and say hi.
Fri 8:00PM – 9:00PM What Makes [...]
Adventures in Sci-Fi Publishing, which publishes podcast interviews with writers, has posted my interview for their Out of the Slush segment. Please go have a listen.

But as the captain of the guard of Red Gold Bridge, the stronghold that holds back the eerie forest from the rest of Aeritan, he has no choice but to ride its borders and its winding trails every day. Unlike Joe, he knows exactly [...]
Joe’s never been much on sticking around, and he can’t understand what keeps him at Hunters Chase. It’s not the scenery, that’s for sure:
He had never grown used to the woods. Nothing like them in Texas, and sometimes he felt like they were watching him. He’d be at work in the fields or even behind [...]
