News of the World:

11/4/09 - Dead Souls is up on Amazon, and the new edition of Bad-Ass Faeries 2 is as well. The new edition of BAF2 has new cover art.

Linda's artwork is featured in Danielle Ackley-McPhail's new novel, The Halfling's Court, which will have it's first public appearance at Faeriecon this weekend. With the advent of this book, Linda has officially preceeded me in appearing as a searchable Amazon item.

Linda and my book, The Evil Gazebo, will be launching at Philcon at the end of the month. The launch party is on Saturday, November 21st. This will be a co-launch for The Evil Gazebo and The Halfling's Court, and will be the US launch for Dead Souls. Linda and Danielle and I will be there, as well as Dead Souls contributor James R. Stratton.

We have cover designs done for EG, both front and back, and yesterday saw the first tentative layout designs. The rest will be frenzy and waiting, I fear...

More Linda news: Linda has been asked to provide the inside illustrations for Dragon Lure, which will be out in May. I have a story in that one as well.

9/26/09 - Two stories are up in online zines. Wishing Well is up at Liquid Imagination, and The Flavor of the Air is up at The Daily Tourniquet. (Be forewarned, somehow, all the quote marks in the latter story dropped out when it went up, and I've been unable to get it fixed.)

Dead Souls has launched and is available in the U.K. and Sweden. I'm looking forward to having copies show up on this side of the pond.

The Evil Gazebo is available for pre-order through Dark Quest Books. We're looking to have copies available for Philcon. Which means I'll be at Philcon this year. Assuming everything comes together in time, we're looking to have a co-launch party (with The Halfling's Court, by Danielle Ackley-McPhail, also illustrated by Linda.

9/3/09 - Dead Souls (Morrigan Books) is launching on Sept 19th. It contains my story, "The Collector," which y'all should read. I should have copies available at Faeriecon in November. It's also available now for pre-order through Morrigan Books. It also looks like at this point that a number of my stories will be appearing in several anthologies, all of which are due to launch at Balticon in May of 2010. Go figure. More on that later, once I can actually give a more complete list.

          - Also - you should know that my spousal unit, Linda Saboe (who illustrated The Evil Gazebo) is doing the illustrations and cover for Danielle Ackley-McPhail's novella, The Halfling's Court, coming out later this year.

6/30/09 - Dark Quest Books sent me a contract for The Evil Gazebo. :) There will be a paperback version and possibly a hardback. Also ebook, but I strongly encourage luddite sensitibilities for this book. Linda has worked up a couple new illustrations for the Dark Quest edition.

5/25/09 - The first edition of The Evil Gazebo is over 50% sold.

10/13/08 - The first edition of The Evil Gazebo is 25% sold. I'm somewhat astounded at this. I blame my co-conspirators.

10/3/08 - The first 2 handbound copies of The Evil Gazebo have arrived (and they are beautiful). Artwork still pending from the printer. The book will be available for purchase at Faeriecon in October. Evil Gazebo 8x10 prints will also be available.

10/3/2008 - My story, "The Collector," will be appearing in the Morrigan Books anthology Dead Souls, to come out in March 2009.
