  • New Fantasy and Sci-fi Author to Attend BookExpo America 2009

    May 27, 2009

    • In these uncertain times, when digesting the daily serving of discouraging news, remember that there is no greater fountain of hope than that which lies in the deep waters of the human soul.   Since my prior Blog entry, my author labors have consisted of marketing Book I, working on Book II, and preparing for BookExpo America 2009 (BEA).

  • What have you done with my work!?! Oh...oh, yeah, that's fine, actually.

    • David Anthony Durham just announced that his Acacia series has been optioned to Relativity Media, a major production company (Hellboy II, Hancock, Wanted, and a bunch of others)--which gets it one step closer to movie material. Now tons of books get optioned without ever actually making it to the silver screen, but still...that's pretty cool. And David's excitement (I think he said ...
