Over at The Night Bazaar, I’ve posted my final column: This is my final column for The Night Bazaar. The blog was conceived as a way to promote writers who had books coming out from Night Shade in 2011, and next year it’ll be promoting writers who have books coming out from Night Shade in [...]
From this week’s Night Bazaar column, my second-to-last: This week’s topic is ”What was the year like for you as a writer.” Such a topic is dangerous for me. It encourages me to navel-gaze, something I’m far too good at. So, honoring the mood of the season, I’ll try to keep it moderately brief, and hopefully [...]
From my new column at The Night Bazaar: Genre Trends for 2012 I’m notoriously bad at staying on top of trends in any medium. This is true of music, literature, art and design, technology, movies, TV…Sometimes I’m way ahead of the curve; sometimes I’m well behind it.

I’m excited to announce that my very good friend Violet Blue has released a Kindle edition, fully revised and updated, of Fetish Sex: An Erotic Guide for Couples, which was published some years back in print by Daedalus Publishing. The new edition has expanded chapters, a new story and a breathtaking new cover by Steve [...]
From my new column at The Night Bazaar, about finding your strengths and weaknesses as a writer: I’m far from convinced there’s any such profession as “writer” anymore; we’re all multi-taskers, by definition. But there is this thing called “writing,” yes, and occasionally I get to do it. When it comes to writing itself, I [...]
Today, I posted a piece at The Night Bazaar about writing my young adult zombie novella “Deepwater Miracle”: I discovered something fascinating to me as I got myself into the mindframe of a young adult protagonist, viewed through the lens of a young adult story. I managed to infuse my tale with pieces of moral [...]
