What's New

Hello, everyone!

I spent my Independence Day celebrating it by working like a slave, shackled to my computer and my latest story. And you know what? I'm okay with that! People tend to forget that independence comes through hard work...and in order to live independently and pay all these bills (and zomg morgage, eep!), I have to work.

But on the bright side, the first book in the THEIRS NOT TO REASON WHY quartet, futuristic military science fiction, is now finished and in the hands of my lovely beta-ladies, NotSoSaintly, Stormi, and Buzzy (pinch-hitting for Alienor on this one, who prefers to work on romances, not sci-fi). Buzzy is a very lovely (and quite scary at times) lady whom I've known for many years through the medieval society. I'm looking forward to the polish her commentary will bring to my prose along with the others' efforts. THEIRS NOT will be released by Ace Books sometime next summer; as soon as I get the exact release date, I'll post it for everyone.

In the meantime, some reminders: FINDING DESTINY, the four-story anthology set in the Sons of Destiny universe, will be released January 2011. And while all of the SoD books are out in trade paperback, THE FLAME will be released in mass market this coming July 2011, and THE MAGE in mass market in 2012. (Don't shoot me, I don't set the publication schedule; I just write 'em and ship 'em to my editor. *sigh*)

Next month, I leave in late August for Australia. Yes, omg, I'm going to Australia for two full weeks...and one of them will be for WorldCon! If you're curious about the world's biggest science fiction convention, just Google "AussieCon 4", since this will be the 4th time WorldCon is being held in Australia. If you'll be in the area at the end of August or the beginning of September, and are interested in meeting up with me, drop me a line on the forum boards here. We'll see what can be arranged.

In the meantime, enjoy your summer--or if you're Down Under, your winter!
