And now that a few days have passed since its release, I’ve found time to post some thoughts on the writing of the first Lost Tribe of the Sith story. I’m particularly eager to avoid giving away anything about what’s coming up, so it’s pretty close to the vest as details go — but it does get into some of my own history with Star Wars and prose. It’s a …
Years ago, I went to high school with comedian and tech-blogger Chris Hardwick. Chris was assigned as my freshman to torture during Freshman Initiation — an institution I was not fond of, based on my own experience — but Chris turned out to have such a great sense of humor that he took what few hazing indignities there were in stride. (But it did allow me, when he was co-host …
I really had no idea how quickly these electronic books got circulated, but from the folks I’ve heard from it seems to have gotten around pretty quickly. It’s been the #2 download on Amazon for a couple of days, and that’s just for the Kindle users — otherwise, you can get it directly here. While I do plan to share some thoughts on the release here on the site, I’m …
The news of this has been on the fan sites for a while, but I am pleased to announce my first Star Wars prose fiction for Del Rey. And not only is it online as of today, but you can read it for free! Fate of the Jedi is a nine-novel series by Aaron Allston, Christie Golden, and Troy Denning, taking place in the years after the Star Wars films …
I am officially instructed by the people who run the Internet that I must post a link to some “Three Wolf Moon” shirt. I have no idea why, but I have found there’s no point arguing about these things when they come along. You can’t fight city hall…

Consider a spoiler warning attached, although I don’t think it reveals anything, you really do want to read the story first. (You.. must… read… comics….)

It will take me some time to get caught up, but I will take a first stab here… • First, at some point in the last few weeks, Star Wars: Knights …
Another year, another Free Comic Book Day — thanks to the staff at Galaxy Comics, Games & More in Stevens Point for having me there, and to all the folks who dropped by. My next Wisconsin appearance will be at WASFEn, in Wausau, August 1. And speaking of Wisconsin, a little meterological curio outside my window the other day: a double-rainbow on the lake. You can just barely make out …
If you’re in Wisconsin, I’ll be signing at Galaxy Comics in downtown Stevens Point, Wis., from 1-4. See you there! I also have a post about the genesis of Free Comic Book Day on the Comichron blog.
