If you’ve been reading this blog for any time at all, you know about my intense admiration for Kristine Kathryn Rusch. I consider her the single best teacher I’ve ever had. The workshops run by her and Dean Wesley Smith have changed my life. She’s also one of my favorite writers. (And also a heckuva person, […]
Cracking the Ice cover
Here’s the cover for Cracking the Ice. I don’t know about you, but I love it! I’ll post a higher resolution version as soon as I can overcome some uploading problems with my website provider. (Don’t get me started…) Isn’t the cover great?
Cracking the Ice galleys are in
I received the galleys for Cracking the Ice last week, made the appropriate corrections, and sent them back to WestSide Books today. (The galleys represent the final layout of the book, barring last-minute changes.) It won’t be long now before the Advance Review Copies become available followed by the real thing.

Here’s how you can tell someone else (in my case, my wife) has always been getting to the movie theatre first and buying the tickets: it’s finally you in line and you hand the guy a twenty for two tickets and can’t understand why he’s looking at you for more.
New Half-Year’s Resolutions
Most normal people wait for the end of December to roll around before deciding on New Year’s Resolutions. I, however, have never been called normal and don’t feel like waiting the six months. So here are my Half-Year’s Resolutions. Write 150,000 words of new fiction. This averages to a little under 6000 words each week. […]
Surviving the Kris Rusch Death March
I’m writing this from gate D9 at the Portland, Oregon airport, waiting for my flight back to Boston after spending over a week on the Oregon Coast.
