On My Desk . . .
My desk is littered with Beanie Babies. I buy a dog beanie baby every time I finish a book. Yeah, silly, but I do it anyway.
I hope to go out shopping for another Beanie in June . . . that's when I intend to be finished with my current project.
I've finished editing Hot and Steamy, tales of steampunk romance for DAW. I had a great time with it.
I hope to tackle my own steampunk story for an "open call" anthology I spotted. I like to try my hand
at some of the open call stuff.
I've got three more books outlined, but I have to finish the current project before I can tackle any of them.
* a high-adventure fantasy
* a paranormal mystery-romance
* a YA mystery
Sheesh . . . talk about genre jumping!
Upcoming Appearances
I'll be attending the GEN CON Game Fair in Indianapolis this August. Then I'm taking a break from running the Writer's Symposium there and will play GAMES GAMES GAMES the following year.
I'm also going to Dragoncon in Atlanta this September. I am soooooooo looking forward to it.
Then there's a little mystery conference in Muskego that's on my list.
Short Stuff
I sold a short story to Jennifer Brozek for her upcoming Human for a Day.
I have a fun short story, Stalking in Memphis, coming up in ICON: New Heroes Rising
Life is good.

And with an even hunkier (in my opinion) Supernatural hunk.
