A last-minute reminder that I’ll be at Games Day Chicago this Saturday. As noted on the Guests page, I’ll be there signing copies of my Blood Bowl novel, which is so spanking-new that it won’t be generally available in the UK until August and the US until September (unless you find it at Gen Con Indy, at which I’ll also …
Back at It
It’s been quiet around here for two reasons. First, I just finished Dead Ball, the second in my Blood Bowl trilogy, at 11 PM on July 16. Second, on July 17, I bundled the quads and a couple of able helpers in the minivan and chased up after my wife and eldest son for a week’s vacation near Watersmeet, Michigan. …
Dead Ball Cover Spotted
Amazon.com now boasts a cover for Dead Ball, the second in my trilogy of novels based on the Blood Bowl board game from Games Workshop.

Blood Bowl at the Summer Cons
As posted on the Black Library‘s site, I’ll be signing copies of Blood Bowl at two conventions coming up soon: Games Day Chicago (July 30) and Gen Con Indy (August 18—21). At Games Day, I’ll be wandering the hall and taking up time behind a stack of books at the sales table. At Gen Con, I’ll be in the Sabertooth …
Blood Bowl Back Cover
I just got a pack of extra covers for my upcoming Blood Bowl novel from Games Workshop yesterday. When they print a book, they print the pages and covers separately and then bind them together.

Rolling Along
The weekend went well. The kids were great, and we spent lots of time over at my mom’s house, playing with her and many other members of our extended family. In the evenings, I managed to get through the proofs for Songs of Victory, the last volume in Loren Coleman’s Legends of Kern trilogy for the new Age of Hyboria …
New Blood Bowl Cover
My friends at the Black Library just sent me some promotional covers for Blood Bowl, my upcoming novel based on the classic boardgame of gridiron mayhem. Click on the thumbnail for a much larger version. This is their lead title out of the six books they’re releasing that month, and they’re pushing it hard. It hits the UK in August …
Back in the Game
I’m hard at work on the second novel for Blood Bowl right now for Games Workshop. It’s called Dead Ball, and it’s going to be a lot of fun. The Blood Bowl books are a great break for me from the more serious stuff I usually write. There’s no need to keep up with the grim and gritty here, as …

Currency Matters
My friends at Guardians of Order (publishers of The Authority RPG, of which I wrote the player’s chapter for them) just announced that they had a rotten 2004, mostly due to the plummeting value of the American dollar versus their Canadian version. Because of this, they’re asking people for help by purchasing some of their excellent games now. If you …
