What's new:
6/22/09 Wizards of the Coast recently retired a large number of novels and game products. Here's a list of the books recently declared out of print. If you've been thinking about reading some of the older stories (mine included), you may want to pick them up sooner rather than later.
5/08/09 Pathfinder #22, part 4 of the "Legacy of Fire" adventure path, is now available.
4/30/09 "Jack and Jill," a very short (under 1000 words) murder mystery, went online today in the new edition of Flash Me Magazine, an e-zine devoted to flash fiction. I wrote this story a couple of years ago as part of the class materials for "Writing Across the Genres," a workshop I co-taught with Susan Onthank Mates. Each week we did an overview of a particular genre, and the participants wrote a one-page story in the genre-of-the-week using the nursery rhyme as a starting point. The variety and ingenuity in the participants' stories was amazing, and I'm fond of this little tale because it brings to mind a fun workshop and a great group of creative people. You can read "Jack and Jill" here, free of charge.
4/29/09 Pathfinder #20 is now available as a PDF download.
4/20/09 Today's post on the Paizo Blog, "Half-elf, all druid, no tree hugging," discusses Channa Ti, the protagonist of the "Dark Tapestry", the serial fiction in the Legacy of Fire adventure path.
4/15/09 Two more issues (Pathfinder #20 and Pathfinder #21) of the Legacy of Fire Pathfinder adventure path have shipped to subscribers. The books can be purchased at the Paizo website.
3/22/09 UPDATE: According to the latest news on the Paizo website, Pathfinder #19 is shipping now and the PDF will be available April 15.
With this issue, a new Pathfinder Adventure Path begins. "Legacy of Fire" is a campaign set in Osirion, a fantasy land based on ancient Egypt. It's also the beginning of "Dark Tapestry," a six-part serial novella that will run the length of this six-month campaign. I think readers who have enjoyed the adventures of Arilyn Moonblade, Liriel Baenre, and Gwen Gellman will find the half-elf druid Channa Ti to be a gal after their own hearts. For more information, including info about pre-ordering the print version, follow this link to the appropriate page on the Paizo Publishing website. There's an informal message board discussion thread here for questions and commentary about Channa Ti's story, as well as related (and sometimes, not particularly closely related) discussion.

mystery, and historical fiction
3/22/09
The Phantom Queen Awakes is a
collection of tales about the Morrigan, the Celtic goddess of battle, death, and
rebirth. The book is scheduled, appropriately enough, for a Halloween 2009
release. I'm very pleased with the cover and I'm honored to be in such
excellent company: Katherine Kerr, Anya Bast, C.E. Murphy, and T.A. Moore,
among many others. For more information about the anthology, including a Table
