LINKS: I'm very responsive and love to share. | Okay, now what? Google moved their frickin pages and now everything is fubared. I'm working on it... In the meantime, that nonfiction project described below isn't really happening, so maybe i *did* jinx it. Anyway, I'm close to finishing the first draft of book 3 - there's lots of editing to be done, but it feels good to be close to done with something.This was added on 2/17/10 WHAT'S GOING ON? Well, I'm working on book 3 of my young adult vampire series - maybe halfway done with a first draft - and I've begun work on an exciting nonfiction project as well. I don't want to reveal too much (no jinxing) but it's a wider-appeal project that will be fulfilling on many levels. As stuff actually happens I'll report it here, but for now, my books are still available from amazon and at Changing Hands, and you can still buy signed copies here on the site. Enjoy!

What now? The sequel to The Cure for the Curse - "The Allure of the Curse" - is currently at my publisher, awaiting an editor. This is month #3 of waiting, so I'm trying to be patient, but it ain't easy. In the meantime I've begun a new project, a co-written memoir with my girlfriend Misty. It's going to be an amazing book, just as soon as I can get some time to actually write it. Hopefully next week some real work can get done on it. I'll keep everybody posted, but please do check out my myspace blog for more frequent updates. Thanks for stopping by!

This is where I'll post news about my works and appearances, and information about reviews, links and other random stuff about me. This was added on 9/4/08 |
