Amanda Downum and I and our matching purple dresses gave an interview to the Austin Post at Dragon’s Lair’s Indie Creator Night. And the awesome Scott Lynch has an exclusive chapter of his forthcoming The Republic of Thieves up at io9! (spoilers, natch.)
I mentioned this briefly in the last post, and I think I’ll mention it again, because I could not be more thrilled: Scott’s handed in the final revisions on The Republic of Thieves, and its publication date is set for October 10th 2013 in the UK and October 8th 2013 in the US. I know [...]
There’s a publication date (or dates) for my dear Mr. Lynch’s Republic of Thieves, and it’s Pi Day! I’m going to tell you my favorite clean joke. It goes like this: In the rest of the world, when they say Yankee, they mean somebody from North America. In North America, when they say Yankee, they [...]
I’m on deadline (Steles of the Sky is due first week of March, and edits on One-Eyed Jack just landed) and my dear Mr. Lynch is visiting until the end of the month, which means we’ve been spending endless hours sitting and typing at one another. And I’m training for a half-marathon at the end [...]
Last ConFusion, Myke Cole and Saladin Ahmed ran the “Keep on the Borderlands” module for a group of writers and editors including Joe Abercrombie, Peter V. Brett, Jim C. Hines, Yanni Kuznia, Jay Lake, Scott Lynch, Pat Rothfuss, Brent Weeks, and me. Courtesy of cameraman Justin Landon of Staffer’s Book Picks, there’s video.
(Yes, my work table is dirty. How good of you to notice.) I lost the morning to running errands (Halloween candy–a must: we live on the town common, and they quite literally bus kids in to trick-or-treat. Last year, the town provided socialized candy, but none has shown up yet this year!–dinner necessities, hurricane necessities–gas [...]
Sunrise this morning was deeply incredible. The photos from my little Canon don’t even begin to do the colors justice–there were mauves and oranges and golds, and clouds lit up from the inside like star-nursery nebulas incandescent in the depths of time. There were broad red rays of light, clearly visible through the air, streamered [...]
Last night, Scott and I went for a 7.4 mile hike through the Willow River State Park, which was not particularly strenuous except one rather stiff uphill, and very lovely–especially the waterfalls, and the overlook along the river valley above them. I did not bring my camera, so no photos except this one, which I [...]
It’s a geographically localized not-a-book-tour starring me and Scott Lynch! My dear Mr. Lynch will be reading at the KGB Bar in Manhattan on Wednesday night with Caitlin R. Kiernan. I will be along to clap and throw roses, or something. Then Scott and I will be adjourning to Boston (technically, Cambridge) on the 21st [...]
One of the coolest things about my job is that sometimes, one’s own art inspires others to works of art as well. And sometimes, one gets to see those works of art–and even better, hear about the creative process that inspired them. Dana Watson of From My Wandering Mind made me a beautiful, jeweled set [...]
