Signing at Uncle Hugo’s starting at 1:00 today

I’m signing at Uncle Hugos today from 1-3.  That is from signing the mail orders last night. That’s probably half of what I signed because they kept reloading the table as we went. As for Minneapolis, what do you people have against letting somebody merge on the freeway? It is like survival of the fittest [...]

My audio books are doing really well!

MHI http://www.audible.com/pd/ref=sr_1_1?asin=B004RGQ6UQ&qid=1303940994&sr=1-1  and MHV http://www.audible.com/pd/ref=pd_rsp_1?asin=B004RGOQM6  Turns out that I’m kicking butt on Audible.com.  The reviews are great as well. I think it is because Oliver Wyman did such an excellent job on the narration. I’m telling you, the guy is a great. Very professional to work with, too.

Hard Magic releases in a couple of days!

This is really exciting for me. The Grimnoir Chronicles are something new and different, and Hard Magic is the first non-Monster Hunter book I’ve released. So fingers crossed that this one does well. I’m flying to Minnesota this weekend to sign at Uncle Hugos. Quick reminder, if you guys want an autographed copy, order it [...]

An interview with Editor Jim Minz, and he says nice stuff about me

http://fantasyhandbook.wordpress.com/2011/04/26/the-fantasy-author%e2%80%99s-handbook-interviews-xiv-jim-minz/  I like Jim Minz. He’s a good guy and a solid editor. I was able to work with him for the first time this year, and it was a pleasure.  Check it out, good read, and he had some nice things to say about me in that interview as well.

Happy Easter from the Monster Hunter Nation

My kids painted eggs tonight. They obviously know what pays the bills around here. Also, sort of funny. I looked out the window about ten minutes ago and there was the biggest jack rabbit I’ve ever seen sitting on the lawn. I’ve seen a lot of jack rabbits in my day, but this thing was [...]

My favorite book review site

I was talking to somebody the other night about book reviews, about how I don’t really pay attention to the big well-known establishment reviewers, and so where to go to get good book reviews. That reminded me I needed to link to these guys. Elitist Book Reviews is by far my favorite place to go [...]

Attention Kindle & Nook users, you can get my next book NOW!

http://www.webscription.net/p-1327-hard-magic-book-i-of-the-grimnoir-chronicles.aspx  Yep, $6. Go download the eBook for Hard Magic, book 1 of the Grimnoir Chronicles. It is pretty darn awesome, if I do say so myself… In all honesty, I do believe that this is the best thing I’ve ever written. Think of it as a pulp-noir, action, hard-boiled, alternative-history, fantasy set in an [...]
