Amortals for Free at World Fantasy Convention

I’m heading out to the World Fantasy Convention in the morning. While I’m there, anyone at the show who asks me about Amortals gets a free copy of the ebook edition, days before it’s available to the rest the world. Just stop me and say hi, and it’s all yours, courtesy of my fine publishers at Angry Robot. The easiest …

Guest of 3Con

This year, the World Fantasy Convention (which starts tomorrow!) marks the end of the 2010 convention season for me. After that, I’m going to burrow into my den and write, write, write for months on end. I’m already making plans for when spring comes back around though. For instance, the fine folks at the brand-spanking-new new Three Rivers Game Convention …

Amortals at MEEEchigan

Michigan Today, the magazine dedicated to the University of Michigan, has a section in which it lists books written by Michigan alumni. At the moment, Amortals sits at the top of the list. It won’t be up there long, of course, but it’s cool to see one of my novels displayed on the website of the place where I picked …

TimeOut Diversions

My pal Tony Lee just launched a new gaming company, TimeOut Diversions. Just in time for Halloween, he has Killer Thriller!, a short RPG about B-movie horror flicks. Also, to celebrate the upcoming World Series, Tony’s written “Hu’s the Monk,” a fantasy roleplaying riff on the classic “Who’s on First?” routine by Abbot & Costello. Check it out.

Amortals: Packed with Extras

Last week, my first copy of the UK print run of Amortals showed up on my doorstep, courtesy of Marco and Lee at Angry Robot. It’s a thing of rare beauty (okay, I’m more than a little biased), and I had to share it with you. It’s a bit larger than your traditional mass-market paperback, about the size of my …

Die Geister von Ascalon, Super-Sized!

Last week, Ed Schlesinger, my editor at Simon & Shuster, sent over a copy of Guild Wars: Die Geister von Ascalon, the German edition of Ghosts of Ascalon. It looks amazing. I don’t know if all German novels are printed this way, but Marco Lupoi and his team at Panini Books knocked this one out of the park. As you …

Green Kobold? Open Design for Freeport

I have a lot of friends in the gaming industry, and two groups of them just teamed up to develop something very cool: Dark Deeds in Freeport. This is a Pathfinder (essentially D&D 3.75) adventure for Green Ronin’s Freeport: The City of Adventure, designed as one of Wolfgang Baur‘s Open Design projects. I co-wrote the original Freeport hardcover with Chris Pramas …

The World Fantasy Convention

Just yesterday I finally made the decision to attend the World Fantasy Convention in Columbus, Ohio, this year.  The plan is to arrive on Friday and leave early Sunday so I can get back in time to trick-or-treat with my kids. I have two events scheduled for the show: Friday, October 29, 8 PM: Mass autograph signing. Come chat with me …

Listen to Amortals

At the suggestion of my overlords publishers at Angry Robot, I sat down the other day, taught myself how to use Garageband, and read the first chapter of Amortals to my laptop. Give it a listen, and tell all your friends and neighbors! I hope you enjoy what you hear. Matt Forbeck’s Amortals: Chapter One As I find myself saying a …
