And Speaking Of…..
Speaking of covers -- Tor is going to be re-releasing the first two EDGE books but with brand new, more contemporary covers. My original covers were beautiful, but they didn't give you much sense of what the books were about. My editor, Stacy Hill, and I have had...
Covers, Covers
I'm fortunate to be in a couple of upcoming anthologies out this year. DANGEROUS WOMEN will be released December 3rd. I don't have a date on OLD MARS yet, but I'll let folks know. My story in Dangerous Women is set in my space opera universe. The Old Mars story is...
Man of Steel
After Iron Man 3 and Star Trek: Into Darkness I went into this movie with very low expectations. Which meant I enjoyed Man of Steel more then I expected. Henry Cavill was superb as Clark/Kal-El. The didn’t try to find a clone of Chris Reeves, but he looked very...
Seeing How It’s Done
Since I will be writing a Wild Card graphic novel for Bantam books I have begun to really study this art form. Lucky for me I have an outstanding coach in this endeavor -- I’ve got Len Wein the creator of Wolverine and Swamp Thing among many other memorable...
Pillars of the Earth
I've always like Ken Follett's spy novels, and THE PILLARS OF THE EARTH had been recommended by my architect husband and several other people. So I downloaded it onto my IPad mini and started reading. I was struck initially at the rather pedestrian, workman-like...
Yeah, That Ending Thing Again
SMASH the NBC show about the trials and tribulations of bringing a show to Broadway was, alas, cancelled at the end of their second season. I really loved the show, but then I'm a singer and have performed in a lot of broadway shows with the New Mexico Civic Light...
Terrific Fantasy Novel
I just finished reading Daniel Abraham's third installment, THE TYRANT'S LAW, in the Dagger and the Coin series. This is a terrific novel and just continues to up the stakes and tension from the first two novels. I adore the characters, particularly Clara. I love...
I’m Lucky
Thought I'd just post a little update about what's happening. I learned yesterday that a comic book proposal was selected to become a graphic novel. I'm really jazzed. Writing for comics is like doing a screenplay, but without the budgetary limitations. More on...
Mass Effect 3 – Citadel
Well, I have played Citadel. I have played almost every permutation of the "party". I appreciate the fact that BioWare has sent me a box of chocolates and some roses, that this DLC (downloadable content) was a love letter and maybe even a bit of an apology from the...
You Expected Privacy, Really?
I'm a bit bemused by the uproar over Prism and the NSA, etc. etc. From the moment I joined Genie, back in the dark ages of the internet, I never thought my information would be private. We are shouting into the ether, sending digital messages in electronic bottles...
