Off in Singapore

I realize it’s been quiet around here the past week or so, and there’s a fine reason for that. I left for Singapore on March 18, and I’ve been there.

Comings and Goings

Betwixt Loves Vegas Knights

Over at Betwixt, Benito Corral gives Vegas Knights a glowing review. As he states up front, it didn’t hurt that the book pushes a lot of his buttons, in the best way. As he says in the full review: I feel as if I had sat at a happy hour with Matt Forbeck one night and we talked about some …

Over at Booklife.com, the ever-inquisitive Jeremy L.C. Jones interviews me about the ups and downs of the freelancing life and even manages to work in a reference to the opening scene of Amortals. We cover topics ranging from what my typical day is like and why I love the way I work. Check it out.

More Praise for Vegas Knights

Over at Spoiler Alert!, Voxael has a mixed reaction over Vegas Knights, but in the end he gives it a strong thumbs up. It may not have rocketed straight into place as My Favouritest Book Ever! but there’s more than enough here for me to say quite truthfully that I enjoyed the ride – strong, easily distinguishable characters, pop-culture references …
