Music in My “Office”
For a feature in next month’s issue of Prog magazine, the photographer spent many hours setting up a photo shoot of me with part of my music collection in my writing office. Since I do most of my writing outside in nature, we felt this shot was most representative.
Superstars Writing Seminars
Over the years, Rebecca and I have taught thousands of students in various writing workshops, and many of the attendees have gone on to become successful bestselling authors themselves. Many of you have listened to us lecture at DragonCon or other conventions, and we’ve given our seminar on “Things I Wish Some Pro Had Told Me When I Was Starting out” for many years at the Writers of the Future workshop.
Las Vegas Library Talk, Thurs. Nov 5
I will be giving a talk, Q&A session, and book signing at the Clark County Library (1401 E. Flamingo Rd) in Las Vegas tomorrow night (Thurs, Nov 5). I hope you can join me. The first 25 people will receive free Terra Incognita tote bags. I’ll be signing Enemies & Allies, The Winds of Dune, Terra Incognita: The Edge of the World, and anything else you would like to bring. Rebecca will also be there, if you want to bring any of our Young Jedi Knights, Crystal Doors, Grumpy Old Monsters, or Rebecca’s solo books.
Challenger Point (14,081 ft) Hike
This has been a tough hiking season for me—mainly because I’ve done so much traveling and book-touring during the best summer months in the mountains. Also, the weather turned cold and nasty very shortly after I finished the Winds of Dune tour and DragonCon the first weekend in September.
