Blog postAbout the time I started planning this series, I got an email from a writer friend. The writer friend is one of those people who think they know business, but have never really bothered to learn much about it. Or maybe they’re the kind of person who reads the how-to, remembers the details, but misses the overall point. The result is the same—complete cluelessness.
I try not to answer the questions of people like that, at least not in depth, because they cause me to hit my head repeate -
Blog postAt a high school for the magical, the most picked-on kid dreams about J. Rutherford Wisenhauer III killing people with a fire spell. She knows her nightmares portend the future, but her domestic magic lacks the power to do most difficult spells.
To make matters worse, no one will believe her. She must take matters into her own hands—but how?
“Domestic Magic,” by New York Times bestselling author Kristine Kathryn Rusch is free on this website for one week only. T -
Blog postThe short version of this post: Don’t. Just don’t.
Don’t write screenplays, even if someone tells you “you’ll make more money if you do.”
The medium version of this post: Write screenplays only if you want to work in Hollywood. Otherwise, write the next book.
The long version of this post: Brace yourselves, and settle in for the read.
Before I go any farther, let me say three things. This really is part three of a series, so please read the first two posts befo -
Blog postWhen Noah Whitestone approaches Portia with a problem, she considers it with skepticism.
Portia solves theatrical problems with her two sisters. Magical theatrical problems.
But the Whitestones’ problem proves particularly tricky. To solve it, Portia and her sisters must risk not only themselves but also a lot of innocent lives.
Originally written for the Fiction River anthology Superstitious, “Puckish Behavior” continues the Wyrd Sisters’ adventures by putting a new t -
Blog postSpent much of my month catching up on projects, reading for the Holiday Spectacular, and doing some other things that don’t count for the Recommended Reading List. I did start a critically acclaimed award-nominated book on the history of detective fiction and quit very quickly. It was racist AF. Three pages explaining what the Ku Klux Klan was (to tell us that a 1920s fictional detective toyed with joining) and only one paragraph on Chester Himes? Half a page on Walter Mosley? A complete igno

Blog postA few weeks ago, I got a survey from the Global Licensing Group, the people in charge of the Las Vegas Licensing Expo. They wanted to know my opinion (and probably hundreds of other people’s opinions) about content.
Is it important? Why is it important? How should I/we/they handle it? Oh, and am I a content provider (licensor) or someone who licenses content (licensee)? I suspect (just like they did) that our answers would differ a bit.
I smiled when I saw the survey, because -
Blog postWe’re down to 24 or so hours on the Return of The Fey Kickstarter. I asked the Fey readers to give me a kick in the butt, by joining the Kickstarter to give me a real deadline on a new Fey novella. Usually I try to have work done before I do a Kickstarter, but in this case, I needed a real kick start. It worked: I’m underway on my reread of the first seven books, I have new notes on the next book, and many ideas for various novellas. All a great sign of things to come! Thank you!

Blog postAlbert Suttles’ mother championed Earth Day and its environmental causes. The cause became her first priority, almost an obsession. And Albert’s obsession? His mother. In her honor, he will Save The Earth.
In this powerful little tale, Kristine Kathryn Rusch takes a common story trope and adds a clever, fresh twist.
“Earth Day” by Hugo Award-winning author Kristine Kathryn Rusch is free on this website for one week only. The story’s also available as an ebo -
Blog postI’m starting a tiny new series because of everything that’s been in the news of late. But first, let me give you a caveat. For decades, Dean and I have said “Hollywood” when we really mean the film and/or TV industry. That word wasn’t accurate 30 years ago; it’s less accurate now.
The industry has mushroomed. It’s not even one industry anymore. You can do deals with a streaming service, or network television or network television in, say, France or make a movie in India or China or ma -
Blog postAuthor’s Note: We’re running a Kickstarter right now that will give me some deadlines on starting a new Fey project. There’s a four-part book/video/class for readers and writers that goes with that Kickstarter, all non-fiction, all about writing the Fey. I’ve explained in greater depth below. Part of that project is this: I’m going to post the chapters of Lessons From The Writing of The Fey on my Patreon page first. If you haven’t read the Fey, you can get all 7 ebooks as part of t

Blog postJ. Reed Brasher knows he has forgotten something important. A lot of somethings, actually. The memory of his entire life slips through his grasp save for bits and pieces. Age, they tell him. And at 90, maybe he should believe them. But he doesn’t. Because he remembers something. Something that tells him he should never have lost his memory in the first place.

Blog postAfter a few months of quiet on the short story front, I’ve just published another one. Asimov’s SF Magazine has published “The First Step.” Unlike many of my stories of late, this one’s short. It involves time travel and cranky professors and…well, you’ll see. You can download Asimov’s on a variety of sites or pick […]

Blog postOh, my, is there a lot of mess. And I'm still finding stray bits of code that don't belong. You'll probably see some too. Sorry about that. But things are changing, in a way that pleases me. I figure the website redesign will take all month. At least the RSS Feed works again, and you can subscribe to the site in a variety of ways. If you find something truly wacky, let me know. Otherwise, assume the code and assorted meaningless stuff you're seeing will soon fade away. Wish me luck!

Blog postI’m having a bizarre week. I’m redesigning my website, so I don’t have time to update any of the other websites I’m responsible for, including the Women in Science Fiction project. I’m continuing to read for that, though, and am having a blast, although I’m deeply overwhelmed by the amount of material. Next week, I’m taking a Shakespeare class, partly for a project I’m working on and partly to get my mind on other things. So I’m reading three different Shakespeare plays in prep — Much Ado Abou

Blog postOn the night Anna’s boyfriend tried to kill her, Anna’s badly injured cat Star disappeared. Now, half a continent away, Anna’s neighbor tells her about a white cat with unusual markings haunting the neighborhood. Do cats have ghosts? Or has Star herself somehow made her own incredible journey across the country to be with the only person she’s ever loved?

Blog postRemember my website redesign? It looked lovely, but it was already falling apart. All of that is due to some coding the person who was supposed to maintain the site did, stuff I can't remove. He took my mobile-friendly design and made it unfriendly. And now parts are meeeeeeelting...and I can't fix them. So, I'm redesigning. Bear with me. It's going to be a bumpy ride. But I think it'll all come out okay in the end. (I hope.)

Blog postI started the major reading for the women in science fiction project I’m editing for Baen Books this month. Most of what I’m reading is stuff I should have read in the past. I’m also rereading stories that I remember from twenty years ago. Some hold up. Others don’t. I’m stunned at what I’m finding and what’s been lost. I find it overwhelming at times. But it’s such a worthwhile project and so much fun. Some of the material here duplicates what’s on the site, because I’m enjoying what I’m read

Blog postI love Taylor Swift, and I’m not afraid to admit it. It’s not just because her song “Shake It Off” accompanied me on my daily run during those tough days earlier this year when my world got infiltrated by haters. (Swift wrote the song with Max Martin and Shellback as a response to the criticism she constantly receives.) “Shake It Off” reminded me that I’m better off writing than I am worrying about people who aren’t worth my time.

Blog postWhen tragedy took everything from Violet, she left home and never looked back. Until now. Her mother’s funeral. Violet hopes she can settle her mother’s affairs and quietly return to the life she built after that day. Until she sees him. Skeeter Johnson. The boy who shot her in the face. In a moment, her past returns to haunt her. A past she thought she left behind. A past, she comes to discover, full of her mother’s secrets.

Blog postI am really excited to announce that the first book in my Interim Fates series is now available for preorder. I have always had a special place in my heart for the Interim Fates, teenage girls who got in over their heads when their father (Zeus) put them in charge of all magic. And, when […]
