As I hinted a few days ago, I had gotten a call from my agent, saying that he head heard from his Spanish affiliate about offers to buy The Painted Man and its sequels in Spain.
This morning I am proud to announce that my work will now be translated and distributed in Spain by publisher […]

Australian writer/bookseller Chuck McKenzie e-mailed me yesterday, telling me that he read an advance read copy of The Painted Man, and that he loved it. He even took the time to write it up in a stellar book review for the Australian dark fantasy blog HorrorScope. Not only that, but he said he’d be […]

Ah, Google Alerts, what gems you find me! Like this one, from Graeme’s Fantasy Book Review.
Priceless.

Do you live in Spain, not understand English, but still want to read my books?

Having kind of a bizarre week. Within the close A-list of friends and family in my life, there was a wedding, a birth, and a funeral. It’s been a roller-coaster that has left me utterly drained, both physically and emotionally.
All three major life stages were represented in the span of just a few days, the […]

Googling again. I know, I know…
Anyway, I found something fun! My first review by someone I’ve never met and who has no vested business relationship with me.
Booktagger is this website that apparently lets one organize their personal book collection and log their thoughts about things in their collections for mass consumption. They were given some […]

I spend a lot of time talking about writing, so for a change, let’s talk about NOT writing, something I excel at.
Last week was my best writing week in over six months. I cranked out over 10,000 words. This despite buying a car, visiting friends, building a crib for baby, and a number of other […]
