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.

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.

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!

Happy Holidays and Merry Squidmas! To celebrate, here's Chapter 1 of Kingdoms of Dust. (Contains spoilers for The Bone Palace.)

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.)

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.

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.
2 June 2011
It's a good news/bad news update. The good news is the final draft of Kingdoms of Dust has been handed in and is on its way to production. The bad news is that the publication date has been bumped back to March of 2012. To everyone who hoped to have it in December, I'm sorry for the delay. I hope to have some bonus content up before Christmas to take the sting out.
The even better news is that I leave tomorrow for Dublin and later Stockholm, where I will be attending Eurocon!
