Point of View: It Doesn’t Have to Be Like This

sadness - deposit photos

I am struggling. Everything seems to be collapsing all around us. Our leaders are feckless and timid in the face of this rolling disaster, unable to stand up to the rising tide of darkness, hatred and ignorance. Our courts are bereft of the moral authority they once carried, hollowed out by years and years of attacks and subversion, now active participants in the decline. Violence stalks our land, made manifest in an eyeblink at a Pennsylvania farm, and dark storm clouds are gathering on the horizon, threats to both our liberty and safety. And it just keeps getting worse. It’s … Read more

We ran the LimFic table with Marvin Neu, Bel Sikes, Sheryl Hayes, Denise Tanaka, Amanda Cherry, Lillian Csernica, RL Merrill, Mike Karpa and Sumiko Saulson, and sold a decent amount of books. This was the first year for BayCon under new management – Mark and I are charter members of the reorganized con. And for the next two years, WesterCon and BayCon will merge, so we’re hoping for even more good … Read more

Point of View: Making the Cover – The Death Bringer

by

It’s time once again to share the making of a cover. This time, for the final book of “The Tharassas Cycle” – The Death Bringer. The fabulous Kelley York and Sleepy Fox Studios crafted this one for me. We started with a few possibilities: We tried the last one, an alien creature who looked a bit like a hammerhead shark: Not quite there. So I asked Kelley to try the fourth one: It needed… something. How about some creepy eyes? And finally for the coup de grace… a tail: Put it all together, and: I’m thrilled with the final result, … Read more
