Well, you probably know by now I didn’t win the PKD award, but I still had a fun time at Norwescon, and I thought I’d post a few pictures: Me and my book: Daryl Gregory, Ian McDonald, Daryl Gregory #2 (inside joke), David G. Hartwell: Me and Cory Doctorow:
Friday (obscenely early) I fly off to the west cost to Norwescon to find out if Prophets won the Phillip K. Dick Award. The announcement will happen during the awards ceremony at 7pm Pacific. You can see the stiff competition I’m up against here. Wish me luck. Regardless of how Read more…
I just got author copies of the audio version of Wolfbreed. While I can’t live without mp3s now, and the first thing I did with this was rip it into iTunes, I must say there is something way cool about having a physical object to point to and say, “That’s Read more…
If you missed it last night, I was on the Nightstalkers internet radio program. I talked about werewolves, writing and Wolfbreed. (Ain’t I alliterative?) With the exception of one technical glitch with my phone (I think you can hear me swearing) it went well. If you missed it, don’t fret. Read more…
Blogish Thing #1: The Amazon/Macmillan thing continues rolling on, making Amazon look more and more the villian to those of us who write for a living. Reactions are varied, and I’d like to endorse Scalzi’s call not to boycott, but to buy books from the affected authors. Also like Scalzi, Read more…

Here we see the cover of the Blackstone Audio version of Wolfbreed coming out March 20th. Much coolness, and it’s interesting seeing a cover that’s clearly influenced by Spectra’s cover, yet different. I can’t wait to get this on my iPod.
Zoe doesn’t seem too impressed, but it may be because she can’t read. If you want to buy it on-line, but you’re pissed at Amazon’s antics of late, you can buy it here. Or here.
In case you hadn’t seen me twitter about this or posting on Facebook, the shortlist for the 2009 Phillip K. Dick awards were announced, and Prophets is on the list! Here’s the press release: Philip K. Dick Awards c/o 153 Deerfield Lane Pleasantville, NY 10570 (914) 769-5545 http://www.philipkdickaward.org January 16, Read more…
Thought I’d point this out on the blog proper.
