Just a quick note to wish everyone a Happy New Year, as happy or happier than the one just passed, depending on your particular circumstances. I’ll be back with more blogging in 2010. Until then, stay well and thanks for continuing to check in! Greg

It’s been over a month since I last updated my blog, which is as long as I’ve had to go without posting something new since I started. This wasn’t my preference, of course, but sometimes real life intrudes… and sometimes it does so with a vengeance. My previous post pretty much sums up the basics […]

There’s little else to be said, except that I’ll miss her. More on a happier topic soon. Greg

I’m pleased to announce that I have been offered (and accepted) representation by Roger Williams of the Publish or Perish Literary Agency. Roger brings over thirty years of publishing industry experience to the agent table, and our common vision for my future work is entirely in sync…plus he seems to like my writing, which is, […]

Just a quick note that I’ll be at the Collingswood Book Festival today in Collingswood, NJ. If you’re in the Philly or South Jersey areas, please stop by! Details here. Greg

Just a reminder that I’m giving a talk today in my old hometown of Canton, CT at the Canton Public Library at noon–if you’re from (and are still living near) that neck of the woods, please stop by! Details are on my Schedule page. See you there! Greg

The idea is that three people connected to a book comment on his/her role in bringing the work to fruition–in […]

I’m finally able to write up some of my impressions of Gen Con, now that I’ve had a chance to recover a bit and almost finish unpacking (though I’ve got some games left over I haven’t yet tried…ah, that new “just opened the box” smell still awaits. 🙂 ). Oddly I have a bit less […]

It’s probably a bad idea to be posting impressions of Worldcon while I’m in the middle of Gen Con, less than a week later, but if I don’t do it now I’m not going to remember anything in a few days…I’m running on fumes a bit here, and despite how much I enjoy these conventions […]
