MY NEW NOVEL, Siren, got some nice cover play on an MSNBC video news report today! Unfortunately, the news report was about the rise of e-publishing and the consequent death of the mass market paperback line of my publisher, Leisure Books, (SIREN was the last mass market book they published),…
I’M OFF IN THE MORNING to drive down to Atlanta for Dragon*Con 2010. If you’re going to this phenomenal SF/F/H fan convention, I hope you’ll come by one of my panels or my autographing session and say hi! I have to admit it’s with somewhat mixed emotions that I pack…
I WAS PRETTY psyched this week when Replika, my Polish translation publisher sent me a link to a YouTube performance of my short story “Letting Go”…  in Polish. It sounds great — now if I just understood what the reader was saying ? Check the audio reading out now via YouTube….
I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS about this city, but something here calls to me. I’ve spent more time here than almost anywhere besides my home in Chicago, some by choice, some for work. I’ve set two novels just north of here, and a short story that I wrote about…

LAST SATURDAY, when I got home from taking my son Shaun to his first Chicago Cubs game (where my Cubbies trounced arch enemies the St. Louis Cardinals!) I found a box sitting on the porch from Delirium Books. I cracked the tape open to find a stack of my new mini-hardcover short…
I’M OFF TO Dallas in the Morning! I’ve got a business trip for the weekend to Dallas, and so tomorrow night, May 13th at 6 p.m., I’ll be doing a signing at Texas’ only all horror bookstore, Eerie Books, 205 N. Ballard Street, Wylie, TX, 972-442-9393. If you’re in the…
I’VE GOT BUGS on the brain. Today, The Horror Mall unveiled my new short fiction collection Creeptych. I’ve been hinting at this one for awhile (I started writing the final piece for the collection last fall).
