Winter is in full swing here in the wilds of Wisconsin, along with a pretty hairy ice storm that’s hours old as I write this. Fortunately I’m inside, writing away — and speaking of hairy, I have new reading material in the new Planet of the Apes: Tales from the Forbidden Zone anthology from Titan Books! Edited by Rich Handley and Jim Beard, the book draws upon the original five …
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… 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 …
It’s been incredibly busy this past month: I had Star Wars Reads Day followed by New York Comic Con followed by a great signing at Powers Comics in Green Bay, followed by my appearance at the big Star Wars event at the Kanawha Public Library in Charleston, W. Va. Whew! Last weekend was the first time I saw my house — but I’m off again this weekend, to my first …

I will be answering questions along with Ryder Windham, Jason Fry, Chris Alexander, Hans Jennsen, Rich Chasemore, and Simon Beecroft. I expect to …
Okay, I admit it — I’ve got a whole bunch going on right now, and it’s impacted my ability to blog in any kind of a regular fashion. I just finished work on Star Trek: Titan – Absent Enemies — and went headlong into preparations for the release of Star Wars: Kenobi on August 27. I’ve already done a half-dozen podcasts, most yet to go online — and there are …
Thanks to Joseph Setele for the photo! Back from San Diego, and quite a bit to round up here. In addition to being a great show, it was a trip book-ended on both sides with surprising Star Wars meetings. On the flight from Minneapolis, first off, I met another author, John Flynn, whose name I recognized. It turns out that years ago he wrote the Fall of the Republic fan …
Third Comic-Con International – San Diego in a row for me, and that’s the first time since… maybe 1997-99? I can’t remember.

I’m in Memphis in advance of Midsouthcon — this will be the tenth in a row I’ve been a guest at, and something like the 16th or 17th overall that I’ve attended since my first one in high school. I’ll be speaking at several panels, as seen here: FRIDAY 7 p.m. Writer’s Block: Tips to help you push through mental blocks to get your story done. With Christie Golden, Jer …
