First Look: Death's Excellent Vacation...and an update!
So, yesterday the wonderful Toni L.P. Kelner sent me the cover to DEATH'S EXCELLENT VACATION, an anthology she has edited with Charlaine Harris. I loved participating in Charlaine and Toni's MANY BLOODY RETURNS and was honored to be invited to take part in this one. The theme...supernaturals and vacations.It hits stores in August, 2010, but until then, you can always check out MANY BLOODY RETURNS.
My story in DEV is...weird. It's called "Thin Walls" and resounds with sex and death. It starts ...

The Return of Peter Octavian...and more!
My first novel, OF SAINTS AND SHADOWS, was published in 1994. Yep, fifteen years ago. Seems like yesterday, but I've written more books in the intervening years than most authors manage in a lifetime, and I've got more ideas left in me than I'll ever be able to put down on paper.
And yet...certain characters always call to me. There are several, but foremost among them are Jenna Blake (of the Body of Evidence series) and, of course, Peter Octavian. The installments in the series heretofore known

More on the New Dead
By now a lot of you have seen the cover to THE NEW DEAD, but I've posted it here. F***ing awesome. And you have probably already heard about the signed limited edition hardcover of the book from Subterranean Press...for which I would post a link, except the book sold out in something like four days, though you should go over and see what other exceptional books Bill has available.

The New Dead
So, last year, I was approached by Michael Homler, an editor at St. Martin's Press. They had an interest, he said, in publishing an anthology of zombie stories and wanted me to put one together as editor. My initial reaction was hesitant. I enjoy zombie stories as much as the next weird bastard, but I was skeptical about doing something just to capitalize on the current trend. If I were to attempt it, my interest would be in compiling a collection of stories that touched on WHY zombies are so da

Things That Make Me Happy
Well, there are a lot of things, yes. (Get your minds out of the gutter.) Way too often, days fly by and I don't take time to properly appreciate those things, but here are a few of them.
The ALA has made POISON INK one of its Quick Picks, putting it on the list of Best Books for Reluctant Readers for 2009. It's not the first time I've made the list, but it always makes me smile. There's nothing that pleases me more than hearing from someone, kid or adult, who "doesn't like to read" that they

Maps and more Things To Come
So, I'm long past the point of making promises about being a better blogger. I've seen where that gets me. Let's forge ahead, shall we? And if I happen to manage this a bit more often, all the better. :)
It's going to be a very interesting year, I have a feeling...in lots of different ways. For me, as always, it's going to involve lots of writing. There's also some fairly interesting travel this summer, taking me from London to St. Petersburg and back. As for conventions...more on that in a bit.
