So…. earlier this week Amazon decided to take a year of my life by yanking the trade/hardcover edition of RED WATERS RISING off their site, leaving only the ebook available. I discovered this, not via an alert from my publisher or agent, but by readers emailing and DMing me to say “um…WTF?” Cue a less-than-pleasant

Here’s a recipe: Take a bunch of writers. Throw them, some tents, a bunch of laptops, and a couple of coolers of food and booze into a campsite, and put them to work for the weekend. You get a lot of words written, a lot of stories told around the campfire, and, with a little

Off to the Rainforest Retreat tomorrow – I’ve been signed up the past two years, but other stuff caused me to cancel out. Knock wood and no phone calls come, I’ll be on the road in the AM, and come back from the five days with All The Words Written. Or at least, enough to

So I said a thing over on Tumblr this weekend, and I think it may become the basis of a longer post (someone remind me to write this, because my brain is currently a sieve), but I think it’s a good thing to think about and chew on, not only for its relevance to the

Highlight of this weekend was talking with a guest at the tasting room who, it turned out, is also a writer. I asked about the work she’s doing (mostly tech writing, but with an eye towards fiction). She asked in return what I write, and I allow as how I’m a novelist with a sideline
