I had an epiphany while driving home from the barn today. It’s not required that every post on my website be deeply insightful, or provide a tutorial on writing. I can take a leaf from my posts on Facebook and make this a good deal more casual. So here is a little story about horses. Who are magical and wonderful, and I love them very much. And they are also astoundingly stupid and fearful. Though I guess it’s hard to blame them, they are prey animals. Anyway, I went out to ride...

Okay, confession time. I’ve been really, really bad about posting here. Partly because I’ve been super busy with the Wild Cards writer’s room, but also because writing blog posts starts to feel a whole lot like work. I want to keep my website so people can see the books I’ve published, etc., but if you want to get in touch with me, or just generally hang out I recommend you friend me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter. I do have an Instagram account but I kinda suck at...

So again, apologies for not answering directly. But here is the answer — due to circumstances beyond my control the publication of the final two books is going...

I know, I know, I have been a total stranger. Mostly it’s because I’ve been working super long hours on the Wild Cards TV shows, and on the weekends I have to run errands, do laundry and most importantly go see and ride the horses (though the California rains have made that tough). Anyway, I have a brief window where I can breath and put up a post. A few weeks ago I was honored to receive the Skylark Award from NESFA during their Boston convention Boskone. (Great convention folks...
