Find out what happens when a superhero's sidekick, who happens to be a man-panda, decides to prepare a Dickensian feast for his friends. It's all going quite well, except for a small trip to the nuclear reactor to defrost the fowl in my latest story "A Very Panda Christmas, Everyone!"
My tale is one of several set in the "Cape-and-Cowl" universe of Nathan Crowder's Cobalt City. For Christmas, Mr. Crowder kindly invited several of Seattle's more fantastical writers to play in his sandbox. The r...

Sometime last summer, Nathan Crowder and I began a conversation about the "night witches," the Soviet women who flew combat missions during World War II.

I was inclined to the more fantastical, something that weaved Russian mythology and folklore into this piece of aviation history.
So last summer we both pledge...

This new anthology from Apex will include stories from fellow Forgotten Realms authors Erik Scott de Bie and Richard Lee Byers, among others!
Close Encounters of the Urban Kind is due out in June 2010.

Big, big thanks to the organizers of the Emerald City Writer Conference Book Fair. Got to the table to find stacks of City of the Dead AND Crypt of the Moaning Diamond. Although City is my newer book, it was Crypt's female fighter cover that attracted the most attention.Everyone loved it (I do too!) and copies of both books went out the door.
I signed what was left and those books will be available at the Bellevue branch of the University Book Store. Give them a call at 888-335-7323 -- they s...

Some nice readers have e-mailed me that they enjoyed City of the Dead so much that they are now looking for a copy of Crypt of the Moaning Diamond (my first Forgotten Realms novel). Please believe no author ever gets tired of e-mails like that!
Crypt is still in print. If your local bookstore doesn't have a copy, they can probably order it for you. If you'd like a signed copy of the book, one of my favorite Seattle bookstores still has a few copies left on their shelves. Call University...
