Look.<\/p>\n

Looooook<\/em>.<\/p>\n

GAZE UPON THE ANTLERS AND DESPAIR.<\/p>\n

Okay, no, wait, shit, don’t despair.<\/p>\n

That’s just the cover of my\u00a0brand spanking new writing book<\/em>, even though it’s not really a writing book but rather, a book about\u00a0storytelling<\/em>, about how we tell stories, why we tell them, and how we can use all the fiddly bits of narrative to make them more impactful.<\/p>\n

It also contains a deer on the cover.<\/p>\n

And various personal anecdotes like the one about the masturbating elk.<\/p>\n

The book is out October 18th of this year.<\/p>\n

And why\u00a0yes<\/em>, my deer, you can pre-order it:<\/p>\n

Indiebound<\/strong><\/span><\/a> | Amazon<\/strong><\/span><\/a> | B&N<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

And yes, I do believe I’ll be doing a brief li’l book tour in support — I will in fact be joining word maestro Kevin Hearne on\u00a0his<\/em> book tour for the really-fucking-awesome Plague of Giants<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u00a0and<\/em> story-maven Fran Wilde (of the\u00a0Bone Universe\u00a0series<\/strong><\/span><\/a>) in San Francisco (Borderlands, Oct 17th), Portland (Powells in Beaverton, Oct 18th) and Seattle (University Bookstore, October 19th).<\/p>\n

Though you may be saying\u00a0hey that’s too far away, I wanna see you guys sooner<\/em>, then DEER READER, I’ll note that you can come see us\u00a0this motherfucking Friday<\/em> (the 14th) if you’re anywhere near Philadelphia (event details here<\/strong><\/span><\/a>).<\/p>\n

So, do all of that.<\/p>\n

Go buy all the books.<\/p>\n

Come see all the authors.<\/p>\n

Flail and gibber and wail.<\/p>\n

Also yeah no, I know that’s not a macro photo, but pretend it’s a really tiny deer.<\/p>\n

(Sidenote: I’ve been having some problems with the blog again — I think they’re solved now, was based on a wonky .htaccess file. Apologies for any downtime or unapproved comments!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
