I finished the first draft of my Blood Bowl novel yesterday, just in time to take a few days off for Christmas. Whew! Next up, I’m revising my outline for the second book in my Eberron trilogy. Then I’ll revise the outlines for my next two books in the Knights of the Silver Dragon series. After that, it’s the outline …
It’s Quiet—Too Quiet
My apologies for not posting here much lately. There have been two reasons for that: 1) I haven’t had a whole lot to report. 2) Various colds and viruses have been treating my family like the Packers treat a loose football. Now, though, it seems like we’re all on the mend, and I’m rolling again. I used the blank spots …
Successful Signing
The signing at Turtle Creek, the Beloit College Bookstore was a huge success. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to offer their support. It was truly touching. The store sold nearly 60 copies of Secret of the Spiritkeeper, as well as a few copies of The Fellowship of the Ring Sourcebook and The Stronghold Builder’s Guidebook that they had on …
Beloit College Book Signing
The summer convention season is over, which means I mostly stay hunkered down in my office and type for the next six months or so. However, I do have a book signing for Secret of the Spiritkeeper at Turtle Creek, the Beloit College bookstore, on September 18, starting at 9:30 AM. That’s right in Beloit, Wisconsin, my hometown. Please stop …
Back from Gen Con!
Gen Con was flat-out amazing. I’ve been to the show 23 years in a row now (I started young), and I can’t imagine my summers without it. For me, this is like summer camp wrapped up with Christmas in August, except you get to pick out (and buy) your own gifts.
Gen Con Ho!
I’m in the throes of preparing for Gen Con this week. The show, the greatest adventure gaming convention on the planet, runs from August 19–22 in Indianapolis. I miss having it in Milwaukee, but last year Indy proved itself to be a fine venue, and you couldn’t ask for a better group of people to run the show than Peter …
Spiritkeeper Interview
The fine folks at Wizards of the Coast recently posted an interview with me about Secret of the Spiritkeeper. You can read it here.
Spiritkeeper in Stores!
I stopped into a Barnes and Noble in Madison, WI, yesterday, to check up on Secret of the Spiritkeeper. They had nine copies in stock, which seems like a good sign. They also had the second book in the series, Ree Soesbee’s Riddle in Stone. This is my first mass-market novel in print, and it’s a great thrill to finally …
More Knights!
I just got back signed contracts with Wizards of the Coast for another two novels in The Knights of the Silver Dragon series. Since I wrote the first novel in the series (Secret of the Spiritkeeper) and developed the backstory for it, I’m thrilled to have a chance to return to the adventures of Kellach, Driskoll, and Moyra. The books …

My first mass-market novel, the young adult fantasy Secret of the Spiritkeeper, is due out in stores this weekend. It should be available in most bookstores, including those of all the major chains and the better independent booksellers. Please look for it and get your copy soon! The stronger the sales out the gate, the better. I truly appreciate all …
