Queen of Death in the House

FedEx just dropped off my author’s copies of The Queen of Death, the third and final book in my Lost Mark Trilogy, set in Eberron. The cover looks much better in person than it does on the product page. I’m looking forward to having this in stores and hearing what people think of it. Endings are the most important part …

Great Ideas and the RPG Market

Brian L. Bird asks of concepts for new games: Define stunningly good? Also what is your take on the future of roleplaying games?

Gen Con 2006 Photos

Our Kids in the US News

As I mentioned a while back, the fine people at Rockford Memorial Hospital asked to feature our family in an advertorial they placed in the Midwestern edition of US News & World Report. The ad ran in the July 17 issue, I believe. For those of you who don’t live around here or missed that issue, though, the hospital has …
