<\/a><\/p>\n

We’re stuck in a repeated cycle of snow-thaw-snow-thaw, and today we’re getting… *checks weather* more snow? Whatever. Goddamnit, weather, get your shit together oh ha ha ha you can’t because the climate is drunk on our fumes.<\/p>\n

ANYWHO, so what’s up everyone?<\/p>\n

Here’s what’s up with me, real quick —<\/p>\n

I’m back from ECCC — recap here<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

I finished the third draft of WANDERERS, mostly just a quick polish to get the rest of my\u00a0flavor-text<\/em> snidbits in there at the fore of each of the 90-some chapters. The book is now (*coughs into hand*) 277,000 words, so it is pretty darn close to a bonafide bison bludgeoner of a book. It doesn’t come out for a WHOLE YEAR, basically, which is really weird for me? Because here I am, with… a huge expanse of 2018 where No Books Of Mine Come Out. It is the dark times. It’s arguably how a writer’s publishing schedule is\u00a0supposed\u00a0<\/em>to look, but mine is usually more in the “one book every 4-5 months” department. So, we’re crossing over into weird territory for me. I also have only one book to\u00a0write<\/em> across the rest of this year, too.<\/p>\n

This strange feeling tastes of both freedom and fear.<\/p>\n

Now, I await edits on\u00a0Vultures<\/strong>, the next (and\u00a0last<\/em>) Miriam Black book.<\/p>\n

What else?<\/p>\n

I have a cool comics thing I cannot yet announce, but I’m writing it this week.<\/p>\n

My upcoming schedule is as follows:<\/p>\n

March 24th, giving a Workshop for the Austin RWA — still a few slots open<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

April 7th, 4pm, Doylestown Bookshop<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, in Doylestown, PA — I’ll be joining Kevin Hearne and Fran Wilde on the release of Kevin’s latest and last Iron Druid book.<\/p>\n

April 20-22, RavenCon<\/strong><\/span><\/a> in Williamsburg, VA<\/p>\n

May 23-27th, Phoenix Comic Fest in Phoenix, AZ<\/p>\n

And that’s it, folks.<\/p>\n

That’s the jam.<\/p>\n

Enjoy your week.<\/p>\n

May you hit Monday in the face with a book.<\/p>\n

Because then Monday is down and whimpering, and you still have a book.<\/p>\n
