When I first started writing The Pawn Stratagem, my very first book, back in 2003, I imagined the story as a single book: introduce and gather the various Pieces of the Chessboard, position the two sides in opposition, and then stand back for the mother of all battles on a battlefield of 64 squares.

First weekend in three weeks I'm not off at a convention. Had a blast at GalaxyCon Richmond and SC Comicon, sold a lot of books, got to see a lot of friends, and hopefully made a few new fans. That being said, happy to be home this weekend and catching up on rest and enjoying a little peace/quiet.

Good news!
Received an invitation to be in an anthology later this year. More details to come.
Looks like I’ll be warming up my short story chops for the first time in a while.

Monday night, I had the pleasure of seeing Geddy Lee - lead singer of Rush and a child of Holocaust survivors - speak at Queens College on International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
His most striking statement regarding the state of the world?
“What are we, if we are not hopeful?“

Disillusioned, disappointed, and disgusted.
I can't remember how many times on panels over the last decade I've been asked who my favorite author was or who I looked to for inspiration or what kind of writer I wanted to be and answered with that particular name.
