Yes, I thought it felt like a busy year! Gathering the covers of all the books I had released this past calendar year, I didn’t know if I could put them all on a single page. HELLHOLE with Brian Herbert, and a new Saga of Seven Suns prequel VEILED ALLIANCES; the third Terra Incognita novel came out in trade paperback, as well as the mass-market paperback of Book 2, and the original eBook story “Mythical Creatures”; there was also the new SF story TAU CETI, the third Star Challengers novel with Rebecca Moesta, the paperback of BLOOD LITE II, and several original eBooks.

Moab Writing Trip: Red Rocks, White Snow

19/12/2011 - 09:45

Each year as the holidays approach, our household gets ready for an invasion of relatives, a whirlwind of family activities, and not a lot of writing time. So, in early December I try to take a writing trip just to get caught up and to recharge my creative batteries, as well as to gather some alone time. My two favorite places are Estes Park, CO on the edge of Rocky Mountain National Park, and Moab, Utah, the heart of Arches and Canyonlands, red rock, deep canyons, and very few people this time of year.
