Rose Hilliard at St. Martin's just sent me a pic of the AWESOME cover!

WHOA, BABY! HAWT!! We may have to invent a whole new genre called URBAN SEXY!

That's the good news.

The bad news is it won't be released until July 2010!

Waaaah! The wait, the delicious agony of the WAIT!

But hey--plenty of time to get in a pre-order!

It’s raining. Again. I mean, honestly. Is that really necessary? If it’s going to be cold and give us precipitation couldn’t we have snow? It would be a change of pace. And a lot prettier. However, I refuse to have ice this winter. Been there, done that. Don’t care to repeat the experience. Maybe I should buy a Power Ball ticket… if I won I could spend my winters in a warmer climate. Like Australia. Or maybe just Palm Springs.

Not a lot else going on around here. Just more rain. Never-ending rain. Make it stop!!! It’s making my last nerve sopping wet and I don’t have a mop!

Tonight on TV, we have absolutely nothing. Well, we have Christmas movies.

Wrote about half a page last night.

Reading: Now I’m reading Murder on Gramercy Park by Victoria Thompson.

I keep meaning to mention, the German mass market edition of The Death of the Necromancer is now for sale on Amazon.de, and hopefully in your local bookstores in Germany.

The more expensive trade paperback edition with the neat cover is also still available.

Live Journal's free snowflake apocalypse was fun yesterday, and thanks to everybody who sent me one, but I hope that wasn't what killed the comment notifications.

Busy day in history…

In 1925, five-time Olympic gold medalist and future Tarzan, Johnny Weissmuller set a world record in the 150-yard freestyle swimming event.

In 1941, the Japanese launched a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, propelling the U.S. into World War II. President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared it “a day that will live in infamy”.

Tonight on TV, we have the second part of Alice on the Sci Fi Channel and a new episode of Castle! Woohoo! Of course, I want to see the latter “live”, so the former may find itself being DVRed.

No writing this weekend. I just did genealogy stuff. I eliminated 36 people. If I have time, I may do some more work today. Plus writing, of course.

Reading: Still reading Murder on St Marks Place.

Thanks to eldritchhobbit, seperis, and lemonitsa for the snowflake cookies on my profile! Those are really cute.

technomom -- you won the the copy of Eye of God by John Marco;


astrokender-- you won the artistic chocolates!

Congrats and please PM a delivery address and I'll send these out!


Sorry I couldn't announce earlier. An emergency that could not wait had my full attention for most of the day. Problem is being fixed, I hope, so I can work on something new.

Like announcing the release this Tuesday of a Whitey Kroun story in this Moonstone Monsters Anthology!!!

The Company You Keep takes place after Dark Road Rising. Whitey needs a break from Chicago (and dealing with Jack Fleming!) and decides to spend some time in St. Paul, Minnesota.

St. Paul may never be the same--or maybe it WILL, and that's the whole point!



I'm in great company in this collection with

L.A. Banks

Elaine Bergstrom

C.J. Henderson

Paul Kupperberg

Bill Messner-Loebs

Martin Powell

J.C. Vaughn

and Dan Wickline.

It's now live: my cover for "Hoodoo Cupid", coming February 4, 2010, from Red Rose Publishing.



Isn't it gorgeous? The artist is Red Rose's Art Director Shirley Burnett, and she totally aced it.
Cheers and big, big smiles,
