ForeWard Book Reviews holds a yearly Book of the Year Awards. Murder at Avedon Hill was nominated (along with eight other titles) for the 2010 BoTY award for the category Fiction – Fantasy. Last week it was announced that MaAH was given the Silver Medal.
I want to once again thank everyone out there that listened to the podcast and/or supported the book by purchasing it when it came out last year. I also want to thank my editor, Gabrielle Harbowy, for her tireless work as my editor, and Gwen Gades, my publisher with Dragon Moon Press.

I was on the kickoff panel at Dragon*Con 2010 for the podcasting track. I got to sit next to Veronica Belmont on the panel, so everything else after this was just gravy. Just kidding of course. Lovely lady, and one of my favorite podcasters out there. Please visit Dragon*Pod for more audio from the podcasting track of 2010.
This panel also featured the diverse talents of: Tom Merritt (Sword and Laser, Tech News Today), Veronica Belmont (Qore, Sword and Laser), Len Peralta (Jawbone Radio, Geek a Week), Brian Ibbott (Coverville) and Bobby Blackwolf (The Bobby Blackwolf Show).

Almost two years ago my friend Matthew Wayne Selznick released an anthology called The Sovereign Era: Year One. I was thrilled to have my first published short story be in this anthology. I recommend the anthology highly, along with Matthew’s novel Brave Men Run, the “universe” in which my story takes place. But a couple of days ago Matt released my story as a standalone e-book product. See the description below for more info (text from Matthew’s website).
It’s classified as a short story, but it weighs in at around 8K. Long enough to be called a “novella?” Maybe not. But definitely a good lengthy read for those that missed it when the anthology came out.
“Every Breath You Take” by P. G. Holyfield
P. G. Holyfield is the author of the award-winning fantasy mystery “Murder at Avedon Hill,” a podcaster, and speaks at many conventions in the science fiction and new media fandom community. His “Every Breath You Take” has the distinction of being the single longest piece of Sovereign Era fiction to date (not counting “Brave Men Run — A Novel of the Sovereign Era.”)
“Every Breath You Take” is a tale of teen aggression and obsession. Chris has it bad for Stacey… but in a world where thousands of people possess unique, incredible powers, what exactly stands in the way of Chris getting what he wants..?
Get “Every Breath You Take” for the Nook or Kindle, or buy the epub / Mobi bundle right here… and be sure to visit P. G. Holyfield’s own site for more from him!

Last week I was a Guest Host on The Roundtable Podcast, a great new podcast that does two different things really well. Their primary purpose is to do story-workshops with new/budding writers, which is a lot of fun to do, and to listen to if you are interested in writing. They (hosts Dave Robison and Brion Humphrey) also take time to interview their guests hosts about their writing and the process of writing.
My interview with Dave and Brion is up on the site now and the workshop episode should be released in the next day or so. I hope you enjoy it!
