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 received my confirmation for the HPL Film Festival today, and have updated my appearances list again. I'll also be part of a group signing in Austin on March 28. Elizabeth Bear and other noteworthies will be in attendance. I've also update the soundtracks list to include "Red" and "Bone Garden."

Happy Squidmas, everyone! I've updated my appearances list for 2013, though several of these are still tentative. Hopefully I'll have more exciting updates later next year.

I've scheduled a last minute appearance: I'll be appearing at Monster-Con on Saturday, October 13. I'll be signing books, possibly while dressed as a fish monster.

The Circus is in town! And also available at fine booksellers near you.

Two short fiction updates! My not-so-short story "Bone Garden"--set in Erisín immediately following the events of The Bone Palace--will be published in A Fantasy Medley 2, edited by Yanni Kuznia and released from Subterranean Press on November 30, 2012.

Also, "Smoke & Mirrors" will be reprinted in Circus: Fantasy Under the Big Top, edited by Ekaterina Sedia and forthcoming from Prime. The full ToC is here. I just realized I'm sharing a ToC with Peter Straub, so if you need me, I'll be in a corner breathing into a paper bag.

I've added a new (older) story to the Online Fiction page: "Aconite & Rue".
