This weekend I’m off to Philadelphia for ALA Midwinter. I’m on the Publisher’s Liaison Committee for YALSA, so I get to see the inner workings of the committees this year and to go to some booksignings in the Random House booth for Magic in the Mirrorstone, the anthology of fantasy short stories we’re releasing in … Read more

Rebecca Shelley, assistant to R.D. Henham, is throwing a party next week in honor of the release of Red Dragon Codex! Of course, living all the way in Krynn as the Honored Scribe does, R.D.

Finalizing my travel plans for ALA Midwinter next month. I’m really looking forward to an ALA in which I won’t have to man a booth! I’ll be at the Random House booth on Saturday–Random House distributes Mirrorstone’s books–for the booksigning of Magic in the Mirrorstone, our forthcoming anthology edited by mroctober , Steve Berman. Several of the anthology … Read more

My old friend Brandon Sanderson ( mistborn ) just got chosen to write the final chapter in Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series. I have a special place in my heart for this series–it’s one of the first fantasy series I ever read in college, and the first series that ever had me waiting with … Read more
