It’s been an incredibly busy month following the release of Star Wars: A New Dawn and leading up to the debut of the Rebels TV series this past weekend. I think I’ve been on half the podcasts out there — and there’s been a whirlwind of interviews. And the response has been gratifying — there were a passel of very nice reviews out there. There isn’t time to list them …
And… it’s a book! Star Wars: A New Dawn releases today in hardcover, e-book, and audiobook formats. It’s a great honor to write a Star Wars book, as always — and particularly given the introductory role this story plays. I hope you’ll enjoy it. UPDATE: Check out my blog post about the book — and my life as a Star Wars fan — at the official Star Wars blog! You …
And… I’m back! No, it really wasn‘t my intention to go three months without a post here. But I was in lockdown writing Star Wars: A New Dawn and Star Trek: The Next Generation – Takedown — both of which are completed and with their respective publishers. There followed a week of unconsciousness — and now, I wake just in time for… San Diego Comic-Con? It’s been a busy year, to …
I like to keep my characters in motion as a writer — but sometimes, the writers are the ones in motion. So it was in March, while I was finishing Star Wars: A New Dawn, my new novel for Random House. (Read more about it here.) The publisher asked me to make a fast trip out to Lucasfilm in California, to be part of their Expanded Universe appreciation video. It …
The news is out! I can at last share the project I’ve been working on this fall and winter: STAR WARS: A NEW DAWN is my new hardcover adult novel release, set for release this September from Random House/Del Rey! The novel (my first Star Wars work since Kenobi) is set several years after Star Wars: Episode III — and several years before the upcoming animated television series Star Wars: …
Double release day — and in fact, double Star Wars release day! First off, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Omnibus Vol. 3 hits stores today. The circle is now complete, as someone said: this edition includes KOTOR issues #38 through #50 and all of the War miniseries. (You can read my behind-the-scenes pages on the individual issues starting here.) It features art by Brian Ching, Dean Zachary, Andrea …
The International Association of Media Tie-In Writers has named its nominees for the 2014 Scribe Awards, and I am pleased to report that Star Wars: Kenobi has been nominated in the category for best original novel set in a speculative tie-in universe. It’s a great list of books and short stories by a wonderful slate of authors, and it’s an honor to be included. The 2014 Scribe Nominees (thanks to …
Red alert! Star Trek: Titan – Absent Enemies is available for download today on all major digital platforms. An e-novella, you can find it at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and at iTunes, among other retailers. As noted here earlier, the novella was a blast to write—and is a sequel, of sorts, to one of my favorite episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation. (You’ll figure out which one as the …
(Today’s guest post is by fellow 47North author Neve Maslakovic of the Incident series, on quotations familiar to all…) “Pass on What You Have Learned” by Neve Maslakovic I don’t exactly pepper my novels with famous quotes, but I do occasionally put them in. Sometimes it’s a shortcut, a handy way of making a point — “Brevity is the soul of wit, you might say” — rather than reinventing the …
(UPDATED 2/13, with the Absent Enemies cover!) It’s been as cold as Mars (or Hoth, or Rura Penthe, or whatever chilly world you care to imagine) in Wisconsin this winter, but it’s been good weather for writing. As always, I have a number of different projects on the desktop, both original and licensed — and I’m now able to share one of them, just announced by Simon and Schuster editor …
