Dark, soulful tales that haunt long after the last page.
I’m finally at liberty to announce a project that has been hinted at for well over a year. Carrie Jones (read her blog, too: ) and I have sold a collaborative young adult novel called Ghost Sickness to Bloomsbury. Those of you who already follow Carrie know that Bloomsbury is the publisher of her New…

I’m about to head to Tulsa for Conestoga. As soon as the oldest boy child (who’s now taller than me) gets out of the bathroom so I can brush my teeth. It’s a one-day event for me. If you’re around and hadn’t planned to come, you really should. It’s one of my favorites. My workshop…

I will not complain about my students in this post. I swear it. Instead, I will talk about various writing projects. First up, The Prometheus Syndrome.
