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.

I'm currently slogging through the CEM for The Bone Palace, which is scheduled for release December 1st. It's now available for preorder. The UK edition will have an alternate cover, so you can choose whichever you prefer, or collect the whole set.

Squee! The Drowning City made the shortlist for the Gemmell Morningstar award! Thanks so much to everyone who voted! (Voting will reopen for the shortlist soon - stay tuned.) In the meantime, I'm working on the final draft of The Bone Palace now, and will have that back to my editor soon.

6 February 2010
I've finally finished with the first draft of The Bone Palace, and am now eagerly awaiting an edit letter. In the mean time, I've put up new content for The Drowning City--an entire POV that was cut from the final draft, mostly about Adam and Vienh Xian-Lhun getting into trouble.

Exciting reprint news! My story "The Garden, The Moon, The Wall," originally published in Ideomancer, will be appearing in Ekaterina Sedia's Running With The Pack anthology, coming in May from Prime Books.

Merry Squidmas, everyone, and a tentacular New Year! The Drowning City has been long-listed for the David Gemmell Legend Award, in both the Legend and Morningstar categories. Larry Rostant's gorgeous cover for TDC is also up for a Ravenheart award. TDC is in excellent company in both categories, as is its cover art. I encourage you to check out the list and vote for your favorites.

I've been remiss in updating. Lovecraft Unbound came out last month, containing my story "The Tenderness of Jackals" as well as lots of even better stories by fabulous authors. Also, the latest issue of On Spec appears to be loose in the wild, with my story "Aconite & Rue." Also, World Fantasy was awesome, as it usually is.
