Updates and News

Due to circumstances beyond mine, Eric Heideman's, and DreamHaven's control, my reading at DreamHaven in September is canceled. I will let everyone know as soon as it is rescheduled.

I am nearly done beta reading my friend's YA Novel. It is good stuff.

I have gone completely mad and agreed to write a 20,000 word Steampunk / Weird West novella for an upcoming anthology. I have to turn in the complete story by the end of September, so it's going to be head down and nose to the grindstone next month.

[livejournal.com profile] careswen and I have talked about doing that in the past. The problem is: I don't like the sound of my own voice, so I would probably want to hire it done.

Ah. Yes, that would be a problem. I have the same problem, plus the larger issue of no fan base. :)

Well, most of my fan base is located in your household. Maybe I should just do a reading at your place!

I think you have a nice voice, especially when you try to be smooth. The main thing you have to remember is to slow down.

The next reading I do, I'm going to write things like, "slow down," "breathe," and "look up" on the top of the pages.
