The folks at Studio Press/Candlewick Press have revealed some more information about my next two Dungeons & Dragons Endless Quest books. For those not in the know, these are pick-a-path books set in the worlds of the most popular roleplaying game in the world, Dungeons & Dragons. I had four of them come out last September, and there are another …
Endless Quest Live!
On Saturday, the folks at Candlewick Press – the US publishers of my Dungeons & Dragons Endless Quest books – hosted a playthrough of one of my upcoming books, The Mad Mage’s Academy. We recorded the entire thing live for YouTube, and we’ll have a trimmed-down highlights reel available later this summer. I read through the book, and every time …
Rage 2 Released!
I’m a bit slow on the draw on this, but the video game Rage 2 released last week, which means I can finally talk about my involvement with it. I worked on this game for a bit back in the fall of 2017, with my friends at Avalanche Studios, along with Id Software and Bethesda Softworks. I helped out with …
Heading North for Arctic Game Week!
I love getting out of the house and meeting fans and friends. I spend a lot of time at my desk in my house, and seeing the rest of the world makes for a good break from that. This May 29—June 2, I’m heading to northern Sweden for Arctic Game Week, which includes a number of different festivals in SkellefteÃ¥, …
Exalted: Circle of Protection Out Today!
Today marks the debut of Exalted: Circle of Protection, a brand-new original novel set in the world of the third edition of the Exalted tabletop roleplaying game. It’s the tale of a young woman named Palym, who leaves her village to travel to the big city – and promptly wanders into a magical disaster that nearly gets her killed. She finds herself in …
Blood Bowl Anthology Out Today!
Death on the Pitch, an anthology that collects a series of recently published Blood Bowl stories, debuts today in both paperback and ebook formats. This collection features my short story “The Hack Attack,” which centers on a sort of “Where Are They Now” show about the characters in my Blood Bowl novels, many years later. It also features stories by Josh Reynolds, Robbie MacNiven, Andy …
Going to Gamehole Con!
I spent the day yesterday at the polls, serving as a poll observer here in Wisconsin. Results aside (which I was pretty pleased with overall), I always find it inspiring to watch so many people come in and vote, no matter how much other stuff they have going on in their day. In my county, we had something like 82% …
Talking Tie-Ins
Over at the newly refurbished IAMTW (International Association of Media Tie-In Writers) blog, my friend – bestselling author and the recently appointed president of the IAMTW – Jonathan Maberry interviewed me about being a tie-in writer. The conversation rolls all over the place, dipping back and forth throughout my career, but it’s a fun read. If you want to learn more …
A Writer’s Nightmare
I had a bit of a writer’s nightmare happen this week. I received a call from one of my editors. That alone is enough to give a veteran writer pause. I work almost exclusively via email with my editors and other clients. The only time we need to talk on the phone is when something has gone horribly wrong. There …
Cool Endless Quest Stuff
I’m hard at work writing more Endless Quest books at the moment, but the ones that came out in September are still getting all sorts of attention. This morning, for instance, my pal John Kovalic (of Apples to Apples, Munchkin, and Dork Tower fame) posted a new Dork Tower comic about his experiences with the Endless Quest books. It’s both hilarious and painfully true. Read it. If you …
