Quick post this morning as I need to be out the door shortly. I’m putting Dani and the baby in the car and taking them to my parents’ house, then my partner in crime/evil twin Jay Franco and I are heading up to Albany, NY for Albacon. I will be on a handful of panels […]
I set a writing quota for myself every day: One thousand words. It may sound like a lot, but really, it’s a very modest goal, about three and a half double-spaced pages. Some weeks I don’t even come close, and other weeks I greatly exceed it. I consider >10,000 words a “good” week, and <5,000 […]
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 […]
If you’ve been reading regularly, you may recall a few days ago that I linked to a review of The Painted Man from an Australian SF site called A Boy Goes On A Journey, which has articles, book reviews, forums and community building for new and budding writers, and a lot more. Check it out.

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.
