Welcome!
I'm a fantasy writer, dark, urban and otherwise. I also write Lovecraftian romance, and occasionally very hand-wavey science fiction.
This is my official website, which mostly contains information about my writing projects and links to shiny things. I try to update regularly, as updateable happenings permit.
Though he is a person to whom things do not happen, perhaps they may when he is on the other side.

23 April 2012
I've added a new (older) story to the Online Fiction page: "Aconite & Rue".
17 April 2012
Oops. I let the release date for Kingdoms come and go without an update here. As you may have figured out, the book has been out since the beginning of March. I've updated its page a bit, and have also put up the appendices from The Bone Palace.
17 February 2012
The third and final teaser chapter of Kingdoms is now available. I plan to have at least one more character study up on the Necromancer blog before the official release date.
9 February 2012
March will contain not one but two signings for Kingdoms of Dust. The first will be at the fabulous Dragon's Lair in Austin on March 14. The second will be March 22 at the equally fabulous Pandemonium Books in Boston (because I like cities that rhyme). For an added bonus, Elizabeth Bear will also be on hand for the Boston event.

Chapter 2 of Kingdoms--wherein we see the return of another old friend--is now up here and on the blog. Also check the blog later this week for new character studies.
3 January 2012
First update of 2012. I've been sitting on necromancerchronicles.com for a while now, and over the holidays I finally decided to do something with it. So now The Necromancer Chronicles has its own site. Right now it mostly duplicates the extras and samples chapters I've put up here, but more will come. If you have any questions you'd like to see added to the FAQ, you can comment there, email me, or comment on my LJ. Happy New Year!
19 December 2011
Happy Holidays and Merry Squidmas! To celebrate, here's Chapter 1 of Kingdoms of Dust. (Contains spoilers for The Bone Palace.)
13 December 2011
And there is cover art for Brave New Love. There may be a variant cover on the UK edition.
Apparently it's 15 tales, not 13 as previously reported. I will be sharing the ToC with Jeanne Du Prau, William Sleator, Neal Shusterman, Carrie Ryan, Diana Peterfreund, Carrie Vaughn, Maria V. Snyder, Nisi Shawl, Kiera Cass, Jesse Karp, Seth Cadin, Nina Kiriki Hoffman, Steve Berman, John Shirley, and Elizabeth Bear--which is a pretty damn awesome lineup. (And that makes 16 of us, so either one of the stories is a collaboration, or you get a bonus dystopian tale of desire.)
4 October 2011
Short story sales! My story "Red" will appear in Brave New Love: 13 15 Dystopian Tales of Desire, edited by Paula Guran and due out in March 2012. That means March will be a crazy release party. My story "Bone Garden"--technically a novelette--has been accepted by Subterranean Press for A Fantasy Medley 2; more information on that as I have it. "Bone Garden" is set in Erisín following the events of The Bone Palace, though none of the characters from the novel make appearances.
9 September 2011
This is just to say that I've finished the page proofs for Kingdoms of Dust. That's the last I'll see of the book until my author copies arrive. Kingdoms will be released in March 2012 (which means look for it at the end of February), and I'll begin posting sample chapters around Christmas. Also, I've added a new extra to The Bone Palace's page: the epilogue.
