Guest appearance with monster master Scott Sigler
In other fun news, I have a short podcast hosted by the evil yet mega-talented Scott Sigler this week on his blog.
If you haven’t read his triangles books or the awesome, freaky, science thriller Ancestor, you are missing out!!!
Nocturnal is nearing the top of my “to read” stack. It ridiculous how far I am behind on my reading. But this is a book I’ve been anticipating because I believe Scott is more deranged than I… 
Great News In 2013!!!
First: I’m alive. I know it’s been quiet for a few weeks. With the holidays and a killer deadline, I’ve been a busy little duck. Back now!
Second: How’s this for an awesome new endorsement of The Frozen Sky!?!?!
“The Frozen Sky combines Golden Age roots with modern-day sensibilities to create a story that is gripping, intelligent, and entirely new. Highly recommended.”
–Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author of Midnight Blue-Light Special
Wow. THANK YOU!!
Third, the Plague Year trilogy...

Vonnie comes alive!!!
New excitement from Europa this week. The Frozen Sky is now an eleven-hour audiobook as narrated by the sly and evocative Amy H. Sturgis.

If you’re an audiophile, check it out!
Her audiobookshould also be available on iTunes and Amazon this week.

The Next Big Thing
I was invited to join the “Next Big Thing” author round robin by Steve Byrne, a horrific genius who recently released his first novel. Last week he answered the same Q&A, which you can find here.
My Q&A is right below ya…
1) What is the working title of your next book?
It’s so far down the pipeline (July 2013), let’s talk about my latest novel instead, which is The Frozen Sky.
2) Where did the idea come from for the book?
My honeymoon! I’m a sick puppy!
My wife grew up in Germany. We flew to Euro...

Peeking inside the “Long Eyes” collection…
Three things for Freaky Mad Friday.
First, stay safe out there, people! At grandpa’s for Thanksgiving, last night during the Pats – Jets game we saw an awesome news clip in which an overexcited dude caught in a mob of wild-eyed shoppers waiting for the early holiday sales at a K Mart started yelling — on camera — that he would stab any motherf****r who pushed his kids again. Boy, is that a store I want to swarm! 
Second, trying to get into the mood, I’ve knocked the Kindle prices ofThe Frozen...

Big News From Carlson Land!
Officially it’s official. First we waited for counter-signed contracts from Europe. Then it was World Fantasy and Hurricane Sandy. Now, at last, the ducks are aligned with the stars… if I’m not mixing my metaphors…
Exciting stuff.
