Thanks to Laura Anne for inviting us to guest post today here at her blog. We appreciate the opportunity! The small press Zombies Need […]

Okay, people, remember when I rolled in here and told y’all to get the finger out and order your copy of THE HOUSE OF SHATTERED WINGS, because it was doing that new and interesting thing in fantasy you’d been grumbling you wanted? Â How it was so beautifully written and twisty and dark – but without

I’ve decided to take advantage of a slight lull in the work schedule and…gasp!…take a day off. But I leave you in the capable, if slightly gore-coated, hands of E.C. Ambrose, who has been delving into a particularly fascinating bit of history for their recent “Dark Apostle” novels… Medical Excellence in the Middle Ages

McKenna’s new book, SOUTHERN FIRE is out this week, and I asked her if she’d like to talk about the “making of” this new world…. Set in the Archipelago, the first book in THE ALDABRESHIN COMPASS tells the story of Daish Kheda, ruler of a peaceful southern domain.

Writerly Stuff: Revisions on many things continue. Â I am very boring on social media during revisions, unless you’re privy to the maniacal cackling and frustrated sobbing….

Graham Joyce has lost his fight with cancer. The world is a less-well-lit place, now. Graham was the first -and to this day, only – writer I’ve ever shamelessly fangirled, interrupting him at a solo lunch at World Fantasy to tell him how much I loved REQUIEM. The next time I saw him, a year later,

Mindy Klasky brought me into this blog tour with a few rather pointed – and makes-me-think – questions.  Like me, she started in fantasy and branched out – most recently with the Diamond Brides series.  Check her out! 1) What am I working on? Two projects, currently.  As L.A. Kornetsky, I’m writing the fourth Gin
