Winter Update
Hey everyone. It’s been a while, and I’ve got no real news to share about the podcast, other than to say I’ve got audio for two stories to edit and get out to you. When that will happen, I’m not sure, and I won’t make a promise I won’t keep, so let’s just say I’ll do my best to get it out before you forget who I am. 
I’d like to say I’ve made great progress on my next novel, but that wouldn’t be true. I have had some personal setbacks that have left me… unfocused, let’s just say. Or, I could say I’m just focused on what’s most important to me, which is my two young daughters code-named Wallflower and Cannonball. They mean the world to me, and sometimes that means not making the time to be creative. And other than feeling guilty for not getting new things out to you guys, it’s worth every minute of it.
Now, that’s not to say I haven’t kept busy with things that might interest you. In November we held the first annual TuacaCon. Head on over to the official website and you’ll find some fun videos from the evening and some created either before or after the event. The evening also included a reading from yours truly, a superhero (or super-villain, rather) short story called Dr. Mercury: Queen of Hearts.
The past month or so I’ve been working on a new website. I was updating my book trailer and did some searches on book trailers and found there really isn’t a good central location for book trailers, specifically for speculative fiction book trailers. Of course there is YouTube, but again unless you are looking at particular publisher channels on YouTube, it’s still a hunt and peck proposition.
So I decided to remedy that. I’ve created a website called SpecFicMedia.com – It’s more than a site for book trailers, though. I’m hoping it will become the first place people go to look for media that touches on speculative fiction in some way. Book trailers, Author Interviews, Movie trailers, comedy, music, and whatever else I can pull into the site. There will also be opportunities for viewer interaction. We’ll host contests and the like to get people to submit videos. I’ll be starting a video podcast in April to highlight the best stuff on the site, news from the world of Speculative Fiction Media, author/podcaster interviews, etc.
The site is up and running, but I’ll be doing an official “launch” on Valentine’s Day. Go check it out, and if you have comments/suggestions, please leave them here or send me an email. Thanks!
Oops, almost forgot. Over at the “Out of the Coffin” website there is a set of vampire-centric awards for 2010. Amazingly, Murder at Avedon Hill is up for the award for “Best Vampire Novel” for 2010. While MaAH isn’t a vampire novel at its core, it does have its share of vampiric lore and characters… and the people over at the Out of the Coffin website really seemed to like it. While you’re there, check out Episode 59 of their podcast, where I was interviewed back in May about the release of MaAH. It was a fun interview!
