Currently working on my second contracted novel, and hoping more are to come. I've got my first novel came out July 12, 2006 and I've three short stories in print through Wizards of the Coast. Also have two more short stories going to press in 2007 (more info later when cleared by the publishers).
I've also gotten engaged to the lovely Sarah, who shall be my wife forevermore by mutual decree.
Now if anyone knows how to write concise book bios, lemme know..... |
