L. Dean Murphy recently interviewed me on behalf of the International Thriller Writers for a piece for their online newsletter, The Big Thrill. The conversation covered a lot of ground but, of course, mostly concerned itself with Vegas Knights. Head on over and give it a read.
Vegas Knights in the House
A big box of the UK edition of Vegas Knights just showed up at my house today, courtesy of my publishers at Angry Robot. It is a thing of rare beauty, and I’m thrilled with it. Although it doesn’t show up on the photograph too well, the cover features a spot varnish on the Las Vegas sign and the Angry …
Weirdmage Loves Vegas Knights
Over at WeirdMage.com, reviewer Ole A. Imsen got a crack at an advance copy of Vegas Knights, and he liked it from cover to cover. As he writes: I was hooked by the end of the first chapter… You always feel that there is more to be revealed, and that makes this a book that is hard to put down …
Steamfortress Victory, Ahoy!
My co-writer on the script for the InSpectres movie, Jeff Dohm, is launching a new tabletop roleplaying game this year, called Steamfortress Victory. Jeff describes it as American steampunk, and it fits that bill like a set of clockwork goggles. The first product for it – a prequel dime novel/adventure called A Day at the Fair – debuted at Archon …
Games for New Zealand
Over at Tor.com, I posted about the latest charity bundle of tabletop gaming PDFs that DriveThruRPG has put together. This one gives you $330+ of product for only $20, with proceeds going to the New Zealand Red Cross to help with its efforts to give aid in the wake of the recent earthquake there. It’s a great cause supported by …
Ranting Dragon Raves over Vegas Knights
Benni at the Ranting Dragon recently read Vegas Knights, and it seems to have struck a chord with her. She insightfully identifies the book as being closer to Bringing Down the House/21 than Ocean’s 11. I’ve often thought the book hews closer to Dresden Files meets Bringing Down the House than Harry Potter meets Ocean’s 11, but the latter pairing …
Vegas Knights Gets 9/10
A savvy reader known as Bane of Kings reviewed Vegas Knights at The Founding Fields today, and he loved it. He gives it a stellar 9 out of 10 and writes: You’ll find that you can get through this book pretty quickly, mainly because you simply won’t be able to put it down… The plot of this novel is well constructed, and written …
New Rave for Vegas Knights
Stefan Fergus of the Civilian Reader read Vegas Knights last week, and he enjoyed it. Among his sharp praise for the book, he writes: “Brisk and action-packed, Vegas Knights is an entertaining read… It’s fun, pacey, and interesting. Recommended.” Vegas Knights hits the UK on March 3, and it has a worldwide ebook release that same day. Paper copies arrive in the …
The Sixteen Forty-Nine Premiere
If you’re anywhere near Beloit this weekend, come out to the Beloit Film Festival for the premiere of Sixteen Forty-Nine. This documentary by Ruben Burgos highlights the issue of homeless teens in Rock County, and my wife Ann – who’s the homeless student liaison for the School District of Janesville – is interviewed about the situation in the film. It …
Officially a Geek Dad
As of today, I’m officially a member of the Geek Dad team. Geek Dad is a fantastic blog that’s part of Wired.com, and it concentrates on “Raising Geek Generation 2.0.” If you know me – and my kids – you know that fits me to a T. I’ll be chipping in posts there as time allows, and you can go …
