Still reeling from the sudden death of Max Powers. It’s funny how you make all sorts of subtle changes in your life to accommodate your pets without even noticing you’re doing it until they’re gone. Suddenly I don’t have to check under the bed every time I leave the house to be sure I’m not [...]

Okay, I know I am supposed to be blogging about my awesome London/Paris book tour, and all about The Painted Man and blah, blah, blah, but at the moment, I’m really not in the mood. You see, I just learned that Max Powers, beloved friend and kitten, has passed away. He wasn’t even three, and [...]

Sunday night was interesting. Went to a Thai pub in Belsize Park with my friend the Brad, but it closed early because people of breeding and sense go to bed Sunday nights, that they might join the civilized world at a decent hour the next day.

I found this online today; it’s the interview I gave to Del Rey books, which they included in their advance read edition of The Warded Man. I didn’t want to post it myself in case they wanted it exclusively in the ARE, but apparently they didn’t, because I know this site didn’t get the text [...]

Officially, I am taking a month off from writing while we care for the little bundle of joy. I am [...]

Other chapters… do not. I [...]
