What's New:

Many authors start their web pages with biographical information, but frankly, I think I've led a very boring life. (That's not a complaint. "May you live in interesting times." really is a curse, and "May you lead an interesting life." is even worse.) When I go to my favorite authors' web sites the thing I'm really looking for is, What's Coming Out Next!

Crown of Earth, last book in the Shield, Sword and Crown trilogy is now in the bookstores. I love this whole series, and I’m really happy with this last book—it’s probably the best ending book I’ve ever written.

Player's Ruse, third in the Knight & Rogue series, will be out in January '10. The last book, Rogue’s Home tackled Fisk’s family, so now it’s time to take on Michael’s love life. Remember cousin Rosamund? Who knew she was so much trouble?

I’m delighted to report that The Goblin Wood has now become a trilogy! Well, it’s become the first book in a trilogy. The second book, The Goblin Gate, is the story of how Tobin’s brother Jeriah copes with the mess Tobin has left behind...and that’s only the beginning of his problems. Gate has gone through copy edit, I’ve seen a rough sketch of its fabulous cover, and I think it’s coming out sometime in ’10. The Goblin War is finished and about to go to my writer’s group--who will tell me that no, it’s not finished yet. But if you thought Tobin and Makenna were in trouble before...

I'm also currently working on an entirely new two-book series. (Can you call it a series if it's only two books?) They finally have titles, too! (This deserves an exclamation point—they’ve been Book 1 & Book 2 for several years.) The first book is The Trickster’s Girl, and the second is The Traitor’s Son. They’re YA fantasy in a near future SF setting, and it's not quite like anything I've done before. The tone is a bit more edgy, urban fantasy style, but it's got a sexy lying shapeshifter instead of sexy vampires. Trickster’s Girl is in the hands of the copy editor now, and I’ll be writing the first draft of Traitor’s Son in January. And I think Trickster’s Girl is also coming out sometime in ’10. Whew!
