I have a guest blog appearance today on the Something Wicked blog site. Great site run by some really successful authors like Angie Fox (NY Times best-selling author) and Shirley Damsgaard (whose new Jess McConkey novel, Love Lies Bleeding, hit stores just yesterday).
This guest blog introduces The Seventh Throne, talks about my brand of urban fantasy, and looks at the context of a third book in a series. If you check it out, please leave a comment!
I am extremely happy to say that Solomon and Harvey will return for another adventure in Dreams of Steam II: Of Bolts and Brass, a new steampunk anthology from Kerlak Publishing.

I am proud to announce The Seventh Throne, Book Three of the Rising Dawn Saga!
If you didn't catch it live, here's a link to my radio appearance on Malice Cooper's show in Canada. Check it out! Very cool interview that blends my love of rock music with writing, and some talk about conventions and life as an author.
I am happy to report that we just got another really good Crown of Vengeance review over at Realms and Galaxies, a review site based out of South Africa. Here's the link:
I also wanted to pass along a link to a brand new contest at SciFiChick.com, where they are giving away not one, but two of my books...both of the Fires in Eden novels!
Very nice new review up at Watch Play Read today of Crown of Vengeance. They read Crown of Vengeance to go with their forthcoming review of Dream of Legends. check out the verdict:
A brand new interview of me is at Up Around the Corner. The interview, conducted by fantasy author Terry Ervin, is a really good one and a nice overview of what I do. Please leave a comment if you stop by.
If you have an eReader, and have not checked out my books yet, or want e-versions, Seventh Star Press has a great sale going on. Try Seventh Star Press for Two Dollars.

I will be appearing on Red River Radio today at 6pm eastern time (3pm pacific), to be interviewed by Barbara Hodges. Red River Radio is a popular Blog Talk Radio show that features several hosts, and I am looking forward to visiting with Barbara. She and I met at Archon last year in St. Louis, and it turns out that both of us have an affinity for basset hounds, which is a topic that is likely to come up in addition to discussions concerning the literary and film realms.
My reader-friends may get a real kick out of this video footage from ConNooga last weekend. Andy Deane, of the international goth/rock band Bella Morte, leads a big crowd of fans to my booth, and then procedes to "serenade" me. Very funny stuff. Look for this at around the 3:15 mark and onward in this video.
