St. Louis
The kick-off was great. Estimates of the crowd vary widely -- From 380 to 600 -- the I'll leave it to the people who were there to decide. We did a Q&A where due tot eh size of the crowd and shelf placement I was invisible. Just a voice hidden from sight. A Helpful fan suggested I stand on a chair so they could see me. What I stood on was one of the little rubber topped stools they used to reach high shelves. Its a small stool. Jon, Darla, Charles and Richard were all afraid I'd fall off… Read More

Danse Macabre is on the shelves, at last
Well today is it. DANSE MACABRE is finally on sale. The day you, and I, have been waiting for. I can't tell you how hard it is to keep quiet about the book and everything that happened in it. Now we can begin to talk about it. Just have to avoid spoilers. Sometimes that's hard, too. The car will be here in moments to pick us up. Gotta go. See you guys tonight in St. Peters at the kick-off signing for DANSE MACABRE.

Early to rise
I am sitting in my office. I won't get to work this morning because we have a television appearance. Which is cool, but I wanted to see what my office looked like this early in the morning. It's wonderful. Sunlight baths one half of the space and lays in long rectangles across the pale wood floor. It's a sight to lift the spirits and make the muse itch to get working. One of the ideas behind the new office was that it would increase my productivity. I'm a sunlight junkie when I work. Oh, occasionally rain, storm, or gloom… Read More

The First
Okay, this is the first thing I've typed at my desk in the new office. God, the room is huge. It's so big compared to any other office I've ever had that it's a little intimidating. Such a large space, that it makes me feel like I should have put a cubby hole somewhere where I could hide. My music is playing. It's the same desk. The same computer and keyboard, but the wall in front of me is blank. I haven't moved my sticky notes over yet. I think once I do that it will feel more like… Read More

New office at last
Well, we did it, we moved me into my new office. Jonathon's been in his new office for awhile now. But I kept putting it off. I kept waiting to be completely done with a book before we moved me over. You guys see where this is going, right? DANSE MACABRE which is on the shelves now contains a third of what I was going to fit into one book. This meant that I had tremendous amounts of notes, even some finished chapters ready to go. Which meant that this next book was ready to be written as soon… Read More

Happy Summer Solstice
Tried to post this at the time the blog says it was done, but for some reason blogger just didn't put it up. So here it is again, a day late; Happy Solstice. Today was the longest day of the year. A very major holiday for our faith. I have to admit that we did not do the pointy hats and robes. We kept it low key. Though before we leave on tour we have to do something with more pomp and circumstance. We will do a more complete ritual of the Oak King giving way to the Holly… Read More
