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.
Oh, who am I kidding? Of course I did. But even so, I didn’t [...]
As part of their early promotion for The Painted Man, Voyager had sets of temporary tattoos made, using the wards I had designed for the website, which are also being used on all the international editions of the book, as well as in other places. These were sent out, along with the promotional Advance Read Copies (ARCs) [...]
The big day had finally arrived! My first scheduled signings. I was both excited and a little nervous. What if no one came? Ugh. Pressure.
We started the day by heading back to the flagship Waterstones in Piccadilly Circus, and they had finally received their late shipment of twenty copies. My publicity agent at Harper had [...]

Chuck McKenzie, who wrote that stellar review on Horrorscope, e-mailed me today to let me know that Dymocks, one of the biggest book [...]
Big news from Prague, the geographical heart of Europe, capital of the Czech Republic, and a city my friend Neil tells me is filled with beauty. (He says the buildings are nice, too.)
Triton publishing has beaten the competition with their offer to purchase translation and distribution rights of the Painted Man and two sequels. This [...]
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 [...]
Welcome to another installment of Self-Stalking, where I point out all the links to stuff about me that I find while wasting time on google that I should be spending writing.
