Still More Books from DAW
This is a Worldbuilders blog.
So while I was away at my extended family Christmas, we managed to hit $100,000.
We did more than hit it, in fact. We knocked it down and then kicked it rudely while it was on the ground.
I'll be getting the 100K bonus blog up early next week. I didn't expect to need [...]

ARCs from DAW
This is a Worldbuilders blog.
Today we've got some more prized donated by DAW, my publisher.
All of these books are ARCs. ARC stands for Advance Reader Copy. They're the books that publishers print *before* they print the book. They send them to reviewers, bookstores, and other Very Important People in the publishing world in order to [...]

The Obligatory Holiday Post
There were a lot of things I wanted to do here on the blog before Christmas.
I was planning on posting up a video of me reading a picture book, but I couldn't manage to get it done in time.
I thought about posting up a Christmas Card type thinger to mitigate the guilt of not having [...]

Books From DAW
This is a Worldbuilders blog.
DAW is my publisher, and understandibly close to my heart. They're the ones that took a risk on me back in the day, and decided to print The Name of the Wind. That also means, in a roundabout way, that if not for DAW, Worldbuilders wouldn't exist, either.
As if that weren't [...]

Signed Books From Ireland
This is a Worldbuilders blog.
As you know, most of the books donated to Worldbuilders come from publishers, authors, and the occasional cool bookstore.
Last year that changed a bit when I mentioned that Worldbuilders would be happy to accept cool books from just about anyone.
When I did that, a lot of folks contacted us, pitching in [...]

NaNoWriMo – Epilogue
So last month I got all riled up and decided to try NaNoWriMo.
I walked into the experience full of hubris. Despite the fact that I was starting a week late, I was sure I'd be able to stride in, thunder forth 50,000 words, then still have time to make a delicious sandwich, invent a perpetual [...]
