"The Wrong Sword": Announcements

If any of you all are in glorious Brooklyn on Thursday April 19, we're having the book launch party for my YA fantasy, The Wrong Sword.

It'll be at The Way Station, a steampunk bar with an honest to goodness TARDIS for the bathroom!

Character interview on the Musa Blog

Musa Book's blog ran a character interview from my novel, The Wrong Sword, last Friday. It's moderately entertaining, I think. A fun two-minute read.

A character interview is a fun idea. ^_^ Though I did get a bit confused because at first I thought he was a rat (small and furry). But he's not, right?

You can always make a list of questions (what you know about yourself) for the person to answer back. They will answer what they know. This is good for short stories. That way you can interview an artist and they can tell you their motivation. You can lastly make a character that is not an artist and use that as a motivation for a character to move the story forward.

Gang, I just realized that I hadn't replied to all the good wishes, and I apologize. Thank you Dave, Eablevins, CynV, Soccer Mom, LadyV, and Bailey.

I truly hope you enjoy it.

If you're interested, once you finish TWS, drop me a line and I'll email you the first chapter of the sequel.

Best of luck to everyone!
