Marked for Death (the first novel in my Eberron series, “The Lost Mark Trilogy”) has been spotted on shelves in more than one bookstore already. While the novel officially isn’t available until March 1, some stores broke the street date and started selling the book as soon as it arrived. So, what are you waiting for? Go out and get …
Marked for Death Due Soon
Marked for Death, the first in my new The Lost Mark trilogy set in the new D&D world of Eberron, is due to ship in just one week. You should be able to order it from your local bookstore already. Although I’m deep into the second book right now, I can’t wait to hold a copy of the first in …
A Bookish Notion
My good friend Jim Kitchen, late of Games Workshop US, came up with a great idea today: Gamers should donate games and novels to their local libraries. Many of us got started on our lifelong love of genre fiction (whether in movies, novels, games, or something else) in our local library. I know I went to mine every week to …
Gamers for Hope
Sometimes when you write games and fiction all day long, you wonder why it is you’re not doing something more important. Fortunately, my wife is a social worker, so I can console myself with the thought that she, at least, is helping to make the world a better place. In the meantime, I try to do what little I can …
15 Years and Going Strong!

The brand-new, hardcover, d6 edition of Jerry Grayson’s Godsend Agenda roleplaying game is shipping to stores now. The game features an intricate backstory that weaves aliens, gods, and superheroes together into an epic story that spans millennia.

The first book, Marked for Death, is due out in March. The story should hit stands soon after that. In the meantime, the Paizo site tells me that Dragon …
Dark Sun Questions
It seems some people still remember Mind Lords of the Last Sea, a boxed set supplement for the now-defunct D&D world of Dark Sun. The fine folks at Athas.org (who keep that dark flame burning) asked me some questions about it. You can find the answers up on the Wizards of the Coast forums in this thread.
