Things on the horizon, both near and far.

1. I will be at Bouchercon in just over a week doing a panel about unusual characters on Thursday, October 4th at 12:15 PM, along with Thomas Perry, Kelly Cochran, Karen Olson, Alice Loweecey, and Tammy Kaehler, moderated by Helen Knode. If you’re going to be there, come say hi!

2. My entry in the Dead Man series, The Black Death, is out October 30th via 47 North. If you’re interested, you can check out my take on Mat Cahill’s continued adventures and battle with evil.

3. Rough Men is coming out on January 22nd, via Thomas and Mercer, and I have advance copies! First two people to respond to this post, or hit me up via email, are welcome to have one.

4. The ink is dry-barely-on my follow up to Rough Men, and it’s called The Fort. It should be out next summer, and as excited as I am about Rough Men, The Fort is probably the best thing I’ve ever written. Time will tell, I suppose.

5. I’m writing again, we’ll see what happens…
