In Rich Dansky‘s latest column at Storytellers Unplugged, he talks about the different sorts of writing he does: fiction, video game, and so on. He also mentions the panel we were on together at the recent World Fantasy Convention and says some kind things about it. Not only that, (despite some formatting problems) it’s good reading!
Death Match Away!
Last night at 2 a.m., I sent off the first draft of Death Match (formerly known as Sudden Death), the final book in my trilogy of novels based on the Blood Bowl board game.

The Lost Island
I missed the TV show Lost the first time it aired, but I tried it out over the summer, and it hooked me from the first scene. One of the best parts about the show is the island itself.
