The Red Thingie

November 3, 2021

After three nights on the Costa del Sol, it was time to hit the breakfast buffet and ship out to view the wonders of Granada. A note of appreciation for Spanish hotel breakfast buffets. There’s fresh fruit, croissants, chocolate croissants, lots of crunchy and non-crunchy breads, juices, and a myriad of pork products like Serrano […]

Wolf Aprowl

November 1, 2021

My novelette Wolf Time is available as a free read from Bullet Points, a blog by Nathan Toronto devoted to “capture the complexity, tragedy, and hope of warfare and violence in human (and nonhuman) society.” There are other stories on the blog by David Drake, Tony Ballantyne, the ever-youthful H.G. Wells, and others. The story […]

On the Beach

October 28, 2021

As I mentioned a couple posts back, we planned three nights on the Costa del Sol as a kind of rest stop, though we managed not to get a lot of rest during our stay. Our route took us through the millionaires’ playground of Marbella, where we decided we could just about afford lunch. The […]

The Praxis Eternal

October 26, 2021

I’ve delivered the next Praxis book to my editor at Harper, so yay. It doesn’t have an official title yet because that’s still under discussion. (Right now I’m calling it “The Nameless.”) Nor does it have a publication date, though I’m guessing it might appear around this time next year. It will start right where […]

Canyonlands

October 20, 2021

After Sevilla we were more than a week into our action-packed trip, so we planned three nights at a beach resort for some Rest & Recreation. Not that we got a lot of Rest once we arrived, mostly on account of all our Recreation. Our way to the Costa del Sol took us through the […]

Pre-Order is Your Friend

October 18, 2021

Lord Quillifer, the third in my fantasy series, is scheduled for release in February. If you want hardcopy, I’d advise preordering now. American publishes are worried that various economic factors will cause shortages at the printer, and many books are already being delayed. And I am sure that however benign my publisher’s attitude is toward […]

NO8DO

October 14, 2021

Up early in the morning for the long drive to Andalucia and the city of Sevilla, followed by a check-in to a hotel so trendy, overdesigned, stylish, and chic that practically nothing worked. It was next to impossible to login to the wifi, we couldn’t get the AC to function (and in Sevilla, where the […]

Fate

October 14, 2021

So we skipped across the border to spend a couple nights in Lisbon (because why wouldn’t you?). I hadn’t met anyone who spent time in Portugal who hadn’t loved it, and though we only spend a couple night there, I quite took their point. Beauty, history, kindness, and Fate. Plus great food and night life. […]

Monastic

October 7, 2021

We spent one night in the Hacienda Zorita outside Salamanca, a former monastery now converted to a hotel, vineyard, and farm. The hospitality included a tasting of Zorita’s own wines, followed by a supper of chicken and veg grown on the property. The breakfast the next morning was phenomenal: organic eggs, bacon and ham from […]

Happy to be Seen

October 6, 2021

I don’t think I’ve ever been in a foreign country where so many people were so happy to see me. Not just happy either, but ecstatic. I don’t think it’s because my charisma has vastly increased in the last few years, it’s because 20% of Spain’s economy is dependent on foreign visitors and their money, […]
