Release Day!! THE DARK-EYES’ WAR

Today is the release day for the mass market paperback edition of The Dark-Eyes’ War, book III in my Blood of the Southlands trilogy.  That’s right!  The entire series (The Sorcerers’ Plague, The Horsemen’s Gambit, and Dark-Eyes’ War) is now available in paperback — or in ebook format at paperback prices!  So what are you waiting for?  Now is the time to buy the entire series and see what all the critics have been so excited about!  Not convinced?  Read more about the series here.  Or read sample chapters from all three books here.  STILL not convinced?  Well, tell you what.  Put it on your holiday wish list, and that way you can someone else to buy the series for you.  Clever, eh?  Yeah, well, that’s why they pay me the big bucks….

A Post About Writing on Demand, and a Story Prompt

Today’s post can be found at http://magicalwords.net, the group blog on the business and craft of writing fantasy that I maintain with fellow authors Faith Hunter, Misty Massey, A.J. Hartley, Kalayna Price, and Edmund Schubert, among others. The post is called “On Writing: Writing on Demand, and a Story Assignment,” and it’s about writing what people hire us to write. It also includes a story prompt/writing exercise. I hope you enjoy it.

A New Post About Copyediting

Today’s post can be found at http://magicalwords.net, the group blog on the business and craft of writing fantasy that I maintain with fellow authors Faith Hunter, Misty Massey, A.J. Hartley, Kalayna Price, and Edmund Schubert, among others. The post is called “On Publishing and Self-Publishing: The Value of Professional Copyediting,” and it’s a detailed discussion of what a professional copyeditor does to improve our manuscripts. I hope you enjoy it.
