Liner Notes: Undead On Arrival
I wrote this! I was out walking one day. I think I was around chapter 16 in Mr. Blank, and was noodling through aspects of the story when a title popped into my head. Undead On Arrival. “Well, shit,” I...

Liner Notes: The Dollmaker
Cover by Charlotte Volnek. Neat, huh? This is the one that was never supposed to be published. It started as a writing exercise. Something weird and dark that I could use to practice horror. My first...

Liner Notes: Mr. Blank

Liner Notes: Nerve Zero
Hinden, as seen from space. During my first couple years of attending various comic conventions, I never went anywhere without my sketchbook. It doesn’t have a single drawing by me between its frayed...

Liner Notes: Coldheart
It’s entirely possible you’ve never read a book’s dedication. They just sort of sit there in the front, one of those pages you flip through quickly to get to the sweetest words in the English language:...

Liner Notes: The Last Son of Ahriman
Tentacles! Tentacles everywhere! Between this blog and my feature over at Fanboy, I think I’ve come out as an avid roleplaying gamer at least half a dozen times. For some reason, it still feels like...

Liner Notes
Did you know I’m an author? Seriously. I have nine books you can go out right now and buy, and the next one is due in October. Crazy, right? Whenever a new one comes out, I like to share the thought...

Liner Notes: The Dark Price of Ahriman
I don’t quite know what people imagine a writer’s process to be. Some probably think we retire to book-stuffed studies and write while classical music wafts ethereally through the air. Some probably...

Liner Notes: Daughters of Arkham
Writing is generally considered to be a solitary pursuit. It’s what misanthropes like me do to remain connected with the rest of humanity. If I had any kind of interpersonal skills I’d be able to work...

Liner Notes: The Daughter Gambit
It makes sense in context. My first attempt at a League of Magi comic book story was a globe-trotting affair starring some of the characters that have already played a part in Coldheart. It was...
