Fade In
Guess what we're writing these days.
On other tangentially related news, I was interviewed for SciFi Pulse on all things Meddling Kids. Including a discarded idea for a Cthulhu Mythos adventure in central Catalonia. It was more likely than you think.

Quidditch & Apricots
I was due to write a post but I couldn't think of a subject, so I asked for help, and this is what we got.
It is said somewhere that both Adrian and Zooey have control of the whole brain the whole time: their only problem is agreeing on what to do. Two pilots, on...

Some thousands of words about covers
So I want to share something with you today, but first, some backstory.
Recently, during a panel at Denver Comic Con, some authors discussed whether book cover artists actually read the books they illustrate. My position was that mine did, at least since I publish in the US.
I know this isn't always the case. Never was, never will be. It's how the industry works. For my first novel, Dormir amb Winona Ryder, with a big Catalan publisher, designers sent me five proposals that were, at best, illu...
