In other news, in between the final bits of editing, I'll be at OSFest, Omaha's Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention, this weekend! If you're in town for the convention, drop by my panels:

Thanks, Blog Tour Hosts!

Well, I'm back from my temporary release week (and non-Internet-having) hiatus. I love release weeks, but I'm glad it's over. :)
Readers, you were spectacular. Although we didn't hit a national bestseller list this time around (no tattoo for me!), TWICE BITTEN was the #2 science fiction/fantasy trade paperback at Barnes & Noble last week and it's already heading into a second printing! Thank you all for your support, and I truly hope you're enjoying TWICE BITTEN.
