Coming up for air (redux)

I'm not sure where the last three months went (or rather, I'm sure, but I barely felt the time pass!), but here I am. Riptide Publishing, which has been eating most of my time and energy is open for business.

I had seriously underestimated the amount of time, energy and emotion this would take. Or what can go wrong, and what would be no problem at all. I've learned a huge amount about things I only had a faint idea about. There were some hairy moments, hilarious moments, silly and angry moments, but, bottom line, I'm damn glad we did it, and the rest of the team is awesome to work with.

I have a release to celebrate, too. "Dark Soul", the first part of the series of the same name, has been released by Riptide. I'm following up every 3-4 weeks with another part, and most likely that should carry us through to February or even March.

Beyond Dark Soul, I haven't written a thing in the last months - too busy working on the publisher, but it's now beginning to calm down (thank Gods!), and I expect to soon get back into it. My characters feel quite neglected, and the sense of failure I get when I'm not productive in
terms of writing is getting almost unbearable. Regardless how much else I have going on, if I'm not writing, I feel like a loser. That's how I'm wired.

There's a huge amount of interviews with me all across the blogosphere, too.

Here's a big one about me.

And about Riptide.

And soon there's a whole range of Dark Soul interviews and fun stuff at Amara's Place.
