Sometimes, you sort of muddle along and figure out a character as you go.  And sometimes, it hits you like a clue-by-four, right between the eyes. Working on [project name redacted] yesterday, I took a Tumblr break to rest my brain, and was handed the visual* that will be [character name redacted] for my entire damned life.
The email fairy brought two bits of Good News this week! 1. Â The contracts from Audible for all four PSI novels (HARD MAGIC, PACK OF LIES, Â TRICKS OF THE TRADE and DRAGON JUSTICE) arrived! So now the entire Cosa Nostradamus catalog will be available in audiobook, and I just have to convince them to
So, a long while back (two years, more or less) I had a story out on submission. And an editor said “I like this, I want to buy it. But… we haven’t signed the contract for the anthology I want to buy it for yet so can I hold onto it for a while?” And

Yesterday, I put the final touches on the revisions for SOUL OF FIRE, and sent it off to madame editrix. The next time I see the book, we’ll be in copyedits, and then page proofs, and then a finished book. So it’s not dusted, but yeah… it’s done. And that means my ten year, twelve-book

We sent the file off to backers last week, and I’ve…well, been a little on edge, ever since.  I got one “I loved it!” from
This is a post that has nothing to do with writing, books, or, well, me, really, although it’s told from my POV and speaks to my actions. As some of you know, I’m a football fan. Â Specifically a NY Giants fan, but I love the game of football, the design of the plays, the execution,

Post-convention introvert crash: when even picking up the phone to order food delivery is too much interaction with other people. Due to various programming-related SNAFUs, this Lunacon was…slightly disorganized (programming was only finalized the Thursay before, and many of us didn’t even get our schedule until Friday night or Saturday morning). Plus, attendance was clearly
