Australian Tour Schedule
Many of you have asked just what my schedule will be like while I’m in the Merry Old Land of Oz. I had thought there might be more personal appearances, but alas those did not come to be. As always, I will be doing meet-and-greets. After the conventions are over, I might be able to [Read more...]
Something New!
Before I wrote young adult stories I penned a few adult ones. Disclaimer: that would be “adult” in the sense that the hero or heroine is older than 20, not the FIFTY SHADES OF GREY type. I know better than to cross THAT line. So I am pleased to announce the e-publication of a contemporary [Read more...]
Here, There & Everywhere (No Really)
Or… 5 conventions/8 weeks. Now it would be tempting to bitch at my personal assistant CJ as to my hellacious schedule over the next few weeks, but it’s not CJ’s fault. I do my own scheduling so I’m the idiot individual who decided I should do two back-to-back conventions (one set of which is on [Read more...]
Hoodoo in Atlanta
This last weekend was a relaxing one. I went out on a research trip to Atlanta (in Demon Central for those who’ve read the Demon Trappers series), had a luncheon date with the spouse and did a lot of reading. Given that it rained on Sunday, that worked just fine. First — why was I [Read more...]

Just popping in long enough to let you guys know I’m on the downhill run on BRIAR ROSE which will be off to my London editor this weekend. It’s turned out to be a surprising story, one I hadn’t quite anticipated. Right now I’m cleaning up continuity issues because I came up with a nifty [Read more...]

What’s Next or You Heard It Here First
The short version: My standalone YA novel, BRIAR ROSE, has been contracted to my UK publisher, Macmillan Children’s Books in London!!! At present we’re looking at an early Spring 2014 release, though that might change down the line. The much longer version with all sorts of publishing backstory and deets: Now that FORETOLD (Book #4) [Read more...]
Appearance Schedule First Half 2013
A few of you good folks have asked where and when I’ll be in various parts of the world so I figured I’d post my schedule on the blog every six months or so. I also list events on Facebook and Goodreads, but sometimes you don’t want to hack through all that to find the [Read more...]
