SOLOMON’S GRAVE is now in print! Congrats to author Daniel Keohane, with whom it was a pleasure to work. You can purchase the book from Amazon.com via the link above, or by clicking on the book cover in my sidebar.

The fantastic podiobook NINA KIMBERLY THE MERCILESS will be arriving in print on May 15th. To celebrate the print edition, author Christiana Ellis is offering a new and improved version of the podcast. Listen to the first installment!

Also scheduled for release in May is THE NECROMANCER’S BONES by Deby Fredericks. This is the sequel to the excellent novel THE MAGISTER’S MASK. While the second book can stand alone, the first is an intriguing fantasy/mystery and well worth a read! Order MAGISTER’S MASK now, so that you can be ready for the release of NECROMANCER’S BONES.

For those curious, or in the area, here’s my current panel schedule (subject to change) for Ad Astra:

Sat 10:00 AM — Ballr. East — What’s In a Name (MODERATING)
What are the challenges and trends in naming characters, locations, races, etc? Where can you find names? Is there a push for more realistic-sounding names? Do more fantastical names turn some readers off?

Sat 12:00 PM — Ballr. East — How Not to Submit Your Work
Panelists present all the things you should never do when submitting your creations. There’s a right way and a wrong way to present the fruit of your labours, whether it’s a novel, comic, short story, art portfolio, or other creative work.

Sat 1:00 PM — Ballr. East — How to Edit Yourself
Authors and editors share tips on how to spot the problems that are so easy to miss in your own work, how to add a bit more polish to your writing, when and why you need to find a second reader, and how to prepare your draft so that editing goes as smoothly as possible.

Don’t be afraid to drop me a line via my contact page if you’re going to be at the conference and want to say hello.

Also, a reminder, I do have openings in my schedule and I accept queries for editing projects through my contact page, as well!

Lots of things are in the works!

I’ve got several books forthcoming from Dragon Moon Press, and I’m excited about all of them. Nina Kimberly the Merciless by Christiana Ellis, Silver and Gold by David Sakmyster, Solomon’s Grave by Dan Keohane and The Necromancer’s Bones by Deby Fredericks, are ready for final proofs, and there are still more that I’m in the process of working on, or have on deck!

I’ve also got some internet and real-live appearances coming up:

You can catch me over at NaNoEdMo — National Novel Editing Month kicks off on March first. Keep an eye out for an article of mine to be appearing on the site. I might also be popping up in the forums here and there.

March 27-29, I’ll be at Ad Astra in Toronto. This will be my first time speaking on panels at a convention, and the staff so far has been great at making me feel welcomed and at ease.

Looking ahead, you’ll also be able to catch me at Dragon*Con, September 4-7.
