What's new:

5/9/08  The folks at Paizo Publishing have asked me to write some serial fiction for their Pathfinder campaign setting. The  story will be novella length--about 25,000 words--broken down into six short-story-sized episodes. More info coming soon.

4/24/08  Yesterday I turned in the revision for a graphic novel script, an adaptation of one of my Forgotten Realms short story. This was to be a collaboration with an experienced co-writer, but Life Happened to the co-writer and I ended up writing the script myself, with considerable feedback from editor Jim Lowder. I always enjoy trying a new kind of writing, and this was a particularly interesting experience.

4/10/08  I received a couple of Advanced Reader Copies for Beyond Magic, a paranormal romance anthology coming out in September.  My story, "Beyond Dreams,"  is a 33,000-word novella, a mystery that may appeal to folks who like the TV show "Medium."  The setting is small town Rhode Island, the paranormal element is restricted to various psi powers--no supernatural creatures--and the mystery plot is more heavily weighted than the romance elements. I think folks who've read my Changeling Detective books will like this story.

3/13/08  Some bad news for fans of the Changeling Detective series:  the folks at Tor Books have decided not to repackage the books as urban fantasy and move ahead with a third book. On the bright side, I've been asked to contribute a Gwen story to a paranormal detective anthology currently in development.

2/28/2008   Book Cellar is a newly added page, an inventory of books that are currently living in my basement and in need of a good home.  If you're interested in a signed copy for yourself or as a gift, stop by to see what's available. 

2/13/2008   Slight change of plan for Worlds of Their Own, an anthology of creator-owned tales by writers best known for their work in shared world settings.  I'd originally thought that "Knight of the Lake," a story about Lancelot's early life, would be included, but editor Jim Lowder decided to go with "Lorelei," a fantasy tale set in the forests of Gaul before the coming of the Romans. August 2008, from Planet Books (Paizo Publishing.)

2/4/2008    The section on my FAQ page dealing with future projects has been updated.

1/18/2008    The release date for Catopolis, a themed fantasy anthology from Daw (Martin H. Greenburg and Janet Deaver-Pack, editors) has been set for December 2008.  My story is "Burning Bright," a tale about a domesticated serval cat and the intricacies of human/feline communications.

1/11/2008   Devil's Due has announced The Worlds of Dungeons & Dragons, a new line of graphic novels. These will include the work of such writers as R.A. Salvatore, Weis & Hickman, and Ed Greenwood. One of my stories is currently being scripted.  More news to follow.

1/2/2008     New website page for Realms of War, release date 1/8/08. For an excerpt of "Redemption," click here.
