The second large print anthology issued by LostLoves Books actually began as a gift and inspired the other two. After Wrecker of Engines came out from DefCon One, my mother lamented that she can no longer comfortably read my novels or anthologies. She prefers large print books from the library, although she does have a […]
Writers always have lists of things that they want to do…eventually…when they have time. At least, I always do. One of my wish list items was to see all my stories in large print. This month, the second edition of Jaunts Afar & Beyond is being released as a large-print trade paperback. This edition contains […]
I’ll be appearing at WriteHive 2026 in July. Through the miracles of technology, my panel was filmed last week. We discussed the use of trains in fantasy and science fiction. Why trains? As all the panelists agreed, because trains are awesome. Everyone gave wonderful suggestions of how trains can work in stories as well as […]
As I explained at the start of every panel at Norwescon, I’m a bit of a book dragon (okay I’m a full-fledged book dragon with a definite hoard problem).

If you follow me on the socials, you’ll have seen announcement that I’m now represented by the amazing Gabrielle Harbowy of the Corvisiero […]
A stack of books about books is about to be returned to the library as I wrap up 2025. I spent the last couple of months diving deeper into the history of Photoplays (hardback novels illustrated with silent movie stills) for an article to be published in 2026 by SFWA’s Planetside. Sadly the reference books […]
The online SFWA convention Quasar, November 15-16, includes panels and breakout sessions for published and aspiring writers interested in science fiction and fantasy. This is the first year for Quasar, a special continuation of SFWA’s 2025 Nebula Awards Conference. All programming is virtual. I’ll be zooming in from my office (aka the dining alcove converted […]
Over the course of one Arkham Horror novel and a couple of short stories, I’ve been building up Betsy Baxter’s career as the Flapper Detective. Starring in a serial adventure, Betsy has conquered all manner of movie stunts. But is she ready for sound? The delightful people at Aconyte proved that she is. Taking my […]
At the very end of The Nightmare Quest of April May, our favorite professor Harvey Walters marched off to do something about the troubles coming to Arkham.
