the random update
November 8, 2011
I’ve been a busy dude and haven’t blogged in what seems like a very long time but is in truth only eight days. Here’s what’s shakin’:
- Currently working on copy edits for TRICKED. It’s been a month since I’ve looked at the manuscript, and it came back pretty darn clean, so I’m happy and tearing through it. About a third of the way through so far.
- I’ve seen preliminary cover art for TRICKED and it’s going to be awesome. Let’s see, what kind of info can I give you without the Del Rey ninja squad descending uponst my humble abode with shuriken and garrotes? OK, how’s this? The first three books had their own color schemes—red, yellow, and blue. This book won’t be any of those colors. (I know, right? Earth-shattering news.) Atticus will still be on the front, but there may be someone else on the back… :)
- I have a license plate frame that says “Pastafarian” on it and it scared away a couple of missionaries who had targeted my house this weekend. They were coming up my driveway, saw the frame, stopped, and turned around. The Flying Spaghetti Monster is a fearsome god, no doubt. Heh! He must have guided them elsewhere with his noodly appendage.
- I’m going to be at The Poisoned Pen bookstore on Sunday, December 11, along with four other fantasy authors: David Lee Summers, Sam Sykes, Lisa McMann, Jani Lee Simner, and Joseph Nassise. We’ll be there at 2pm to hang out for a few hours, so come on by and get some signed goodies for everyone on your holiday list. :)
- Joy of joys, I’ll be returning to San Diego Comic Con next summer! You should totally wrassle a ticket from someone. It’s so much fun! I’m still laughing at the Chef Vader I saw with Jar Jar Binks’ head on a platter, and then the Hello Kitty/Slave Leia hybrid costume was funny in a very sick way.
- I have a guest blog up at Tynga’s reviews on my model painting hobby, in case you’re a turbonerd like me.
- I also blogged at The League of Reluctant Adults on my current short story problem(s).
And there you have it! The supa-fast bulleted list! Hope you are well and enjoying autumn.
