Greetings from Brooklyn! Life’s been busy these days. As many of you know, The Fiend and the Forge has been released in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and now…most recently in Germany. Thus far the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and I’m gratified to hear that people have been enjoying Max’s latest adventure. I’ve been working hard on The […]
Well, The Fiend and the Forge is finally in the bag. Edits are completed, the drawings are finished, and now I turn my attention to Book Four…. Given the fact that I was so late with Fiend, I’m anxious to get back on schedule with the fourth book and ensure it’s arrival in 2011. To make that happen, I’m now […]
Alright, I promised an update post-dancing lessons and I’m a man of my word. Danielle and I opted for the special “introductory” package of lessons at the Fred Astaire dance studios in Manhattan. We arrived to see a variety of students and teachers gliding gracefully about the floor, engaged in everything from the rumba to the foxtrot to cha cha […]
Well, you may have noticed a dearth of postings. There are many factors at work, not the least of which is I’m getting married next month. In fact, February 27th is the big day – exactly one month from now. Very exciting! I never knew there were so many details when it came to marriage – paperwork, licenses, showers, meetings, […]
Well, here I am – living, breathing, sleeping, and writing in the Big City. New York is a far cry from San Francisco or even Chicago. Altogether busier, which is both good and bad. Good in the sense that there’s an incredible, inspirational crush of energy, cultures, noise, sights, and even smells. Bad in the sense that there are times […]
Some readers have been emailing lately about why I haven’t been making many (translation: any) entries to the Blog on the new website. Well, there’s a reason. Actually, there are many reasons, but there are two big ones: I just got engaged and will be moving from San Francisco to New York! Big news, big news. While some might choose […]
Well, I’ve been writing away and am very excited about how The Fiend and the Forge is developing. It’s such a different book – a bigger, more complex story with some pretty intriguing new characters…. There’s a demon named Prusias, a gaggle of haglings (look out goslings!), and some pretty startling developments that have Max continuing to question who he […]
Well, if you’re a frequent (or even infrequent) visitor to my site, you might have noticed that things have changed. Yes, my piddly little starter website has been “reconfigured” (to use a Rowan term) to offer a bit more insight into The Tapestry, the world of Rowan, the words, and pictures that comprise the growing story. It’s been a big […]
I’m heading off to New York later this week to catch up with old friends, have lunch with my editor, and escape the cold of a San Francisco summer. New York is always such an intriguing city – it is simultaneously such an American city, but so international as well. Just walking around Manhattan, a person is simply bombarded with […]
