So, while I was on vacation, I managed to get myself some new ink (designed by the multi-talented Brad Joyce). Here’s a few shots to whet your whistle and maybe entice you to go get some yourself!

VACATION! Yep – I’m heading out tomorrow (Friday, the 27th) for 10 days of fun in the sun and sand, and some new ink (woot!). I’m really looking forward to taking a nice break from everything, and should be good fun. I’ll tweet/FB some pics of the tattoo in progress for those interested. And I’m [...]

So a little while ago I posted about fantasy being stuck in a rut in terms of races/character archetypes, etc. That post spawned some pretty cool conversations here and over on FB. While a few people did chime in with their opinions about writers “doing it to themselves”, I was a little surprised by the [...]

So, the interesting experiment with my KDPS giveaway for At the Edge of the World ended yesterday. It actually WAS pretty interesting, and there were some rather surprising results. I went into this not really expecting much of anything, and I didn’t do much in the way of promotion, other than tweets and FB posts. [...]

Today, I’m happy to bring you a glimpse of some of the talent out there in the indie fantasy field. Ron Leighton is the author of several fantasy short stories, all set in the world of Varaiem (the Shining Lands). If you’ve been itching for new stories to enthrall you, give Ron’s work a look [...]

So, the first 2 art giveaways are done – they both went off better than I could have hoped. The amount of support was just incredible. To everyone who RT’d, posted, tweeted, reviewed (and, bought, of course), I say thank you. Now, it’s time for the final art giveaway for Gods of Sand and Stone. [...]

I’ll be honest. When KDP Select first debuted, I didn’t think much about it. It seemed like a lot to give up for what might not be any kind of return at all. “Leery” does a good job of describing my attitude about it, though “unimpressed” also works pretty well. However, after a few writers [...]

Wow, and once again, the incomparable WG captures the essence of my story in Gods of Sand and Stone through a wood-cut style piece. I’m SO in love with this art series and, again, feel honored and humbled by these creations. Stop by WG’s site for more awesomeness!

So, I just finished reading The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man’s Fear by Patrick Rothfuss – excellent books both and if you enjoy fantasy, you really should pick them up. Just before I gobbled down the final chunk of The Wise Man’s Fear, I came across an interview with Rothfuss in which [...]

Yes, the oh so talented WG has done it again – I got this over the email this morning and love it. Loving the whole wood cut style and CAN’T wait to see what comes next! I’m also incredibly honored that my work was inspiring enough for this. If you haven’t yet, you need to [...]
