- It occurred to me earlier tonight that I never posted the final update on the saga of ARCs and eBay, so I thought I should tie up that loose end here.

A bit of quick ...

- This is a bit of an unusual post in that I don't have an end for it yet. I'm leaving that up to you. Let me explain. My book is beginning to appear in a number of places for pre-order (details of which I'll have on this site fairly soon, by the way), and so I've gotten a number of Google Alerts letting me know that The Third Sign is showing up on a number of websites. A couple of nights ago ...

- Just a short post today to mention that I received my ARCs of The Third Sign on Friday (and without a whole lot of fanfare, sitting right next to the shipment of our dog's food, of all things...who says the author's life isn't glamorous?), and it was a lot more fun opening the box than I thought it would be. My publisher itself will be sending out a goodly number of ARCs to Publisher's Weekly, ...

- One of the most frequent critiques I make of the work of my writing students is that they're not writing stories, they're writing vignettes. There's nothing really wrong with a good vignette, of course - we depend on them here on RedRoom, and in blogs and other forms of daily or occasional journalism - but it isn't a self-sufficient form in the way a good strong short story is. Vignette depends ...
