Well, it’s already June in this part of the world (3 days in technically) and that’s given us new fun things to talk about. Firstly, I’ve a bit of RPG announcement – Paizo Publishing recently released The Varnhold Vanishing, the third book in their “Kingmaker” adventure path for the Pathfinder RPG. Not only is it a great adventure, but this volume features a short story by yours truly! The series of stories in all six books are intertwined, and it was great fun coordinating with the other authors to set up foreshadowing for their stories.
In other awesome news, the cover has been leaked for “Butcher Knives and Body Counts” an essay collection on slasher films of which I am thrilled to be a part. The cover was done by my esteemed webmistress and all around great artist Deena Warner, and I think it nails the theme perfectly:
That Deena, she’s a genius.
I can also announce (now that I’ve sent in a contract) that I sold my short story “And the Rain, It Hammered Down” to PS Publishing for inclusion in their upcoming anthology Up Jumped the Devil. The entire anthology is stories inspired by the music of Nick Cave – one of my favorite musicians. It’s going to be a great collection, and again, I’m thrilled to be included.
Keeping up with Appearances:
Nothing happening for me in June, but next month I’ll be front and center at RWA down in sunny (oily) Florida. Then I’ll turn right around and head off to GenCon the following week, before coming in for a well earned rest. Later in the fall, I’ll be at World Fantasy in Columbus, OH, one of my favorite towns to visit. Why do I love it, you ask? Easy. They have Tim Horton’s.
