Front Page News, and working on motivation

Today, an interview with me is on the front page of Baeg Tobar. It also features my very nifty profile picture by Rick Hershey.

In other news, the novel is crawling right along. I've been using the techniques of bribing myself and etc. I did try a scene from a different point of view than I'd been intending to use, which ended up being a great suggestion.

So thanks to everyone who has posted with good motivating ideas. I'll keep plugging away.

Upcoming books

Upon reading eriksdb's recent entry about upcoming books he's excited about and plugging, I thought I'd check my amazon and see what releases were coming up. One that was notably not on my wish list (but is now!) is the first book in the new Eberron "Inquisitives" series: Bound by Iron by Edward Bolme. I think I've mentioned before that Ed Bolme is not only an awesome guy (which I know from meeting him at GenCon last year--the same way I know the awesomeness of eriksdb, incidentally), but a great writer.

I'm jealous that he's getting to write in the "Inquisitives" series, which sounds like possibly the most fun shared-world mini-series ever (if you're into the whole private eye pulp mixed-genre stuff like me). But I'm also delighted, because it means they've got someone really good writing for it.

Now, back to that novel I'm supposed to be writing.
