Immortal press release
Immortal press release I’d like to say I finally got around to writing and releasing a press release for Immortal, but the truth is, between freaking out about the launch party (tomorrow) and getting sick with some manner of death flu, it never crossed my mind.

Read MoreStacks of books

Read MoreBut I don't get sick
I’m looking for someone to blame Readers, I don’t get sick very often. I try to maintain a decent diet, I bike to work nine months out of the year, and… okay, I also smoke 4-6 cigarettes a day, but only the additive-free kind! (Yes, in Cambridge we even go green with our bad habits.)…

Read MoreImmortal: a short delay
Publishing is F-U-N! I held off on formally announcing this for as long as I could, but it looks as if there is going to be a delay in availability for Immortal. How big? Five or six days. Not big, in other words. But since I’ve been touting the very entertaining 10-1-10 release date for…
Read MoreBlog review for Immortal
Thoughts that got stuck in my head Some nice comments from blogger Sue London regarding Immortal: “He has the wit of Douglas Adams, the sarcasm of Jim Butcher, the droll plotting of Spider Robinson, and the sly twists of Neil Gaiman…” Read the blog here
