Well, I’ve outdone myself at last. Today, in an even longer than usual eight and a half hour writing session, I wrote a ridiculous 33 pages and finished book 13. It took me one month and five days – a new record! It came in at 202 typed pages, 115,325 words and 25 chapters. I… {read more}
Today, during a marathon 7-hour session at my undisclosed writing spot, I hit page 145 in The Burning Death. I estimate that two or three more sessions like that should be enough to finish the book. I am on fire, baby! Perhaps one day in the quite literal sense if I keep bragging like this.… {read more}
Today I adopted a second rat to be Puzzle’s cagemate. He’s also a male, of course, and where Puzzle is a teenager by rat standards, the new guy is just a baby. The size difference between them is pretty striking, which is why I’ve been referring to them as “the Fach and the Fawr”, which… {read more}
I have now started book thirteen and am getting through it at an alarming rate. In the meantime, the publisher is currently looking at trilogy number three so there should be some news on that front within the next month or so. Here is a picture of me aged five, playing with a snake. I… {read more}
Today I finished book twelve, The Serpent’s Bite, which is the final installment of the Eastern Horizon trilogy, aka trilogy number four. I finished it in about two and a half months, which is pretty good by my standards. It clocked in at 120, 618 words and 208 pages, though of course that might change… {read more}
So April is over, and the cons are done with, and I can finally rest – and do some writing again, which is just as well, because the substantive edit for The Shadow’s Heart is due back this month. Three cons. Two Supanovas, and a Conflux/Natcon to follow. How do I sum it all up?… {read more}
Back from the Gold Coast Supanova, utterly exhausted but very happy. This whole month has been an absolute blast. I’ll be writing up a full report later, once I’m fully awake. In the meantime, because it only happened a moment ago and I just had to brag share it with someone: I just won a… {read more}
Thanks to steadily rising postage prices, I regret to inform everybody that I will no longer be selling my books on eBay. It now costs AUS$30 to send a single book to the US, which is beyond ludicrous, and I’m unwilling to sell to anyone else because it would be unfair to my American fans.… {read more}
As some of you may recall, The Dark Griffin is also available in the Czech Republic. It’s my favourite edition, largely thanks to the truly spectacular illustrations. It doesn’t just have the best cover; it’s also got full-page pictures inside. Needless to say I was very happy when the Czech publisher, Zoner Press, bought the… {read more}
