About this author

edit data

Author. Dream Weaver. Visionary. Plus Actor. So long as you're cool with discovering just how dull I really am, I welcome adds here, on FB, LJ etc.

My novels The Sad Tale of the Brothers Grossbart and The Enterprise of Death are available in a variety of languages. I have it on admittedly shaky authority that they are charming. My third novel, The Folly of the World, will be released in December of 2012--no word yet on how charming it will be, but I'm sure I'll be the first to know. I have short fiction free for the reading at Beneath Ceaseless Skies and Brain Harvest, among sundry other places--a full (-ish, depending on how slack I've been about updating it) list of my published works can be found on this here website.

As for Good Reads, I'...more

Contest time! Two copies of the UK edition and one copy of the US edition of The Folly of the World are on the...

Riley Michael Parker's debut novel A Plague of Wolves and Women is a bit harder to nail down than Barron's, but like The Croning, it off-sets the graphic, disturbing elements with an impressively deft gallows humor. The chronicle of a doomed rural to...more

Finally got around to giving the Black Company a run--some laughs, some quibbles, some plain old awful bits, but also some grand, cheesy dark fantasy action. May check out the other two in the original trilogy at some point, but unless they raise the...more
