I'm tempted to put each of these in their own post, but I spam LJ enough as is. So make sure you read all the way down!
And so, in no particular order, 'cause they're all Important! and Exciting!:
1. "Anna Leonard" has agreed to write another book for Nocturne. Tentatively titled "Mustang," it tells the story, no lie, of an American Unicorn and the woman he is sworn to protect against the evil threatening her family. I am all sorts of giggles and glee about this one. It's not due until July -- yeah, so I'm writing three books next year. Gonna need a bigger boat, definitely.
2. Back in the long-ago months, I got a reject from Polyphony 7 that read, paraphrased "I'm passing on this story because I'm interested in the collection your agent sent, of which this is part." I'm delighted to finally be able to announce that Wheatland Press will be publishing Dragon Virus, a collection of all the "Dragon" universe stories [SF with an occasional touch of horror]. Details to come on that, but it's gonna be wicked cool. Some of the stories have been previously published, some haven't, and there's Nifty Stuff in addition.
3. We have Achieved Cover on BLOOD FROM STONE, and it totally rocks the house. Even if we did finally come to the dread banana yellow type color...* As soon as I get a jpg (rather than the pdf of the sell-sheet) I'll post it.
*when we first sold this series to Luna back in 2003, the only thing I asked of them was "no banana yellow type." But I guess we ran out of other usable shades, and be damned if they didn't make it work!

Date: 2008-10-20 03:58 pm (UTC)Well, the first three Retrievers books should be available down there (I got copies of Bring it On last week), so hopefully they'll all be within grasp sooner rather than later (and the Nocturns are publihed down there, aren't they? If not, I highly recommend e-book format. They're just about the right length for comfortable e-reading.
Buy Australian editions! Feed my justification for WorldCon in 2010! ;-)
