So yesterday I accepted an offer from esteemed Portuguese publisher Edições Gailivro for Portuguese language rights to The Painted Man and two sequels. This makes the number of languages the work […]
Some nice updates to the News page today, a little appetizer before the major site overhaul that is coming… sometime in the next 1-365 days, depending on my social butterfly of a webmaster.
Exciting news just in from Poland. The Painted Man, which translates into Polish as Malowany Czlowiek, will be published there on November 28th, […]
So my once-a-day posting streak is over. It was inevitable, of course. Even the most devoted blogger will fall off eventually. When you first start a blog, you write a few posts and it seems so easy that you can’t see any reason why you couldn’t do it every day. After all, you have SO […]
I think I need an intervention.
I was told that a lot of new authors get addicted to checking their rating on Amazon, which you can find under “Product Details” on the book page, but I didn’t think it would happen to me.

Flew in to London overnight on Thursday, leavin NYC at 6:10pm, and arriving at Heathrow airport in London at 6:30am Friday. I REALLY should have slept on the plane, but it was British Airways, and the attendant kept plying me with mini bottles of delicious red wine, and there was an individual TV screen at every seat […]
Okay, this time I wasn’t really stalking myself. Some other people sent me this stuff, but it’s every bit as good as whatever nonsense I could find about myself on google at 3am.
Chuck McKenzie, who wrote that stellar review on Horrorscope, e-mailed me today to let me know that Dymocks, one of the biggest book […]
