I just got my first invite to Boskone, the regional sci-fi conference based in Boston. I've never been, but I'd been thinking I was going to go, especially since I'm now based in Massachusetts. So the invitation is very welcome. I'm thinking I'll be there...
I had one. I've been writing, folks, working on Book Three. I've a long, long way to go still. I mean a long way to go. But that's not anything I haven't budgeted for. I'm still planning on delivering this one with about the same gap as I had between books 1 and 2...
Amazon.com just released it's editor's choices of the top books of the year. (Credit goes to io9 for alerting me to this.) Within that, they have a list featuring their top SFF books. Guess who's on it?Well... Ah... Cherie Priest...
My kids have gone mad. They've turned into glazed-eyed zombies. They've shut out the physical world and ventured into a realm in which shouts, prods, invitations to dine and threats of punishment cannot reach them. What's caused this?Rick Riordan and his creation Percy Jackson. They're the culprits...
Yes, it's finally there. The Other Lands is now downloadable at Audible.com! I'm very happy about this, as it seems like a lot of the folks that enjoyed The War With The Mein did so by listening to Dick Hill's narration...
I was supposed to be cutting down on the teaching. More time spent writing, getting Book 3 done, Jedi-Knight training, stuff like that. Leaving the tenure track has helped that a bit, but then again... I've continued to teach at the Stonecoast MFA Program. (What can I say...
The first part of a two part interview just went up at OF Blog of the Fallen. Larry asked great questions, substantive ones that range away from just talking about the book and get into lots of other stuff.Check it out: HERE.Also, his earlier review of The Other Lands is HERE.
Hey, I'm doing a reading next month in Boston. It's a triple-header actually, arranged by Jeff VanderMeer and also featuring Paul Tremblay. If you happen to be in Boston on the night, here's the info...
I know I should get back to publishing related posts, and I will soon. But considering the day I can't help post another Durham family related photo. We took this photo yesterday on a nice walk (Maya handling the camera.) That's me and Gudrun, of course...
I'm just wondering because it's starting to seem like she's famous. The woman in question is, of course, my wife Gudrun...
Herewith, another book recommendation. This one is in the literary fiction category, just in case you've got a hankering for some good short fiction...The book is called The Boat and the author is Nam Le. I was lucky enough to meet Nam at BEA a couple years back. This was before his book came out...
I'd read a bit of Kindred before, but recently I sat down with it again and read the whole thing. Very glad I did...
I just remembered that I forgot to link to a recent Mind Meld I took part in over at SF Signal! This one was about what "book first introduced you to fantasy". I'm in there with Brandon Sanderson and Pat Rothfuss and Kate Elliott and Ken Scholes and many more.You can take a look HERE.
We woke up this morning to white stuff falling from the sky. Rather nice. Our first dusting of snow for the season. I took a short walk out to the lake, enjoying the quiet, the feeling of change in the air. Nice way to start the day.This morning it's just me and the boy...
