This past summer, I hosted the Diana Jones Award ceremony and party at Gen Con, just as I’ve done for the past 17 years. We had a wonderful time, even though we were in a new, louder venue, and the winners gave fantastic, heartfelt speeches. This year, though, we did something new at Gen Con for the first time. The …
Welcome to Blackwell Academy!
My latest book – Life Is Strange: Welcome to Blackwell Academy – comes out today in the USA. (The UK has to wait until October 30 instead.) It’s based on the hit video game series, Life Is Strange, developed by Dontnod and (in the case of the prequel, Life is Strange: Before the Storm) Deck Nine. As it says in the official …
Gen Con Insights
As I may have mentioned before, I’m on the committee that helps select the gaming industry guests of honor for Gen Con, my favorite event of the year. This is kind of like being asked to help oversee Christmas. This year, we had a fantastic slate of guests: Jordan Weisman, Nolan T. Jones, and Anita Sarkeesian. We also instituted a new …
Endless Quest Interviews
Last week, I sat down and chatted with people for three interviews in one day, all about my new Endless Quest books. Two of them are already posted and ready for you. The first of these is a chat with Paco Jean of GMS Magazine. We had a great time and probably could have gone on for a lot longer. Paco’s …
Endless Quests Are Here!
I’ve had a crazy, wonderful summer packed with all sorts of fun, but now that Labor Day is over and the kids are heading back to school, it’s back to work for me. Today, I have not one but FOUR brand-new books scheduled to debut. Some folks have been able to get their hands on them early, but today is …
Gen Con Is Here!
I took the week off after Comic-Con and headed into the Northwoods of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for a much-needed break. I’m back home now, though, and preparing for the greatest event of the year: GEN CON. I’ll be there for all four and a half days, starting tomorrow night. Here’s my public schedule: Wednesday, August 1 9 PM: …
Find Me at Comic-Con!
I’m heading out to San Diego for Comic-Con International next week, and I have a good slate of appearances set up. Here’s where you can find me at the show: Friday, July 20 11 AM: Signing at the Simon & Schuster booth (#1128). They should have copies of my Halo novels on sale, including Halo: Bad Blood. I’ve only signed a handful …
And Now We Got Bad Blood!
My latest novel, Halo: Bad Blood, hit shelves (virtual and physical) around the US today. It should find its way out in other parts of the world soon after. This is my third novel for Halo, the bestselling military science-fiction series of video games from Microsoft, and it’s my second one that takes up the continuing story of the heroes from …
Find Me at Gen Con!
Hard to believe it, but Gen Con (the best time of the year!) is just seven weeks away. It’s my favorite event of the entire year, and I never miss it. I’ve been going since 1982, which means this will be my 37th Gen Con in a row. I’ve been a guest at the show for more years than I care …

They revealed the cover art a while back, but now we have the full cover treatment, with logos, text, and all. In addition to that, we now have the description …
