Updates, news and stuff

Name that character/actor: This game will run through Friday. You guys have sent in some great photos to go with your suggestions of what actor could best play characters in MLTF. There's still today and tomorrow to send me your suggestions and photos. If you can't find a photo, that's okay, just send your actor suggestion. Who do you see as Raine, Mychael, Tam, Piaras, Phaelan, Sarad Nukpana, Prince Chigaru, Garadin, Tarsilia, etc.? On Saturday's blog, I'll post the choices along with the photos (at least that's the plan -- hopefully Blogger will be cooperative with that many pics). And in my next website update, I'll see if Webmaster Todd can make the final choices a permanent part of the site.

And as an FYI, I have two appearances coming up:

I'll be signing and reading from Magic Lost, Trouble Found at:
Barnes & Noble
The Streets at Southpoint
8030 Renaissance Parkway
Durham, NC
Thursday, January 17 at 7:00 p.m.

I'll be there along with fantasy authors James Maxey (Bitterwood), Warren Rochelle (Harvest of Changlings, and The Wild Boy) and Debra Killeen (An Unlikely Duke). If you're in the area, please stop by and introduce yourself. There will also be discussion and a question & answer session. It promises to be a fun evening. ; )

I'll be at the Romantic Times Booklovers Convention
The Hilton Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh, PA
April 16-20, 2008
I'll be a panelist on the "Futuristic, Fantasy and Fun: Exploring Today's Hot SF/F Romances" session, as well as selling and signing copies of Magic Lost, Trouble Found -- and hopefully debuting Armed & Magical at the Giant Book Fair on Saturday, April 19 from 11 am-2 pm. Over 300 authors will be participating. If you're in the Pittsburgh area, the book fair on Saturday is open to the public. Stop by and introduce yourself!

Tomorrow's blog will be "Persistence pays and momentum matters."
