Other things that occupy my time

News of the POTA novel I posted earlier is the highlight of the day, and indeed we've been getting a steady stream of people signing up for the mailing list and I expect we'll start hearing from news outlets shortly, but I’ve got a few other doings in the works.

I’ll be continuing my Tales from the Tomato Patch series shortly, with an eye for finishing up by month’s end. I’m enjoying these stories, but they’re not always as easy to write as I had hoped. That, and I have, you know, a novel to work on and stuff. There’s six more to go, and it occurs to me now that I should pop over to the Jason Webley forums at his site and maybe let them know about it. Something to do this week maybe.

I will also be starting my I Haven’t Read Your Angry Robot Book Interview series soon. My first interview will be with Chris Roberson, author of Book of Secrets, which is due out on August 6 (I hope to have it up by then). Chris will be at San Diego Comic Con to promote his newly announced Vertigo series I, Zombie. Follow the link for a brief description, it sounds cool (and I’ll sneak in a question about that for the interview). I still have yet to choose who my next Angry Robot interview victim subject will be, but I’ll wait until after the con to decide.

Also, I have a few scripts to write in what I believe will be our second Critical Millennium series from Archaia. The first series, set in the Dark Frontier time period, is scheduled to debut in the spring (which, along with the POTA book, means a lot of product coming out from our camp next year).

That’ll do for now. Talk to you soon.

I hear the grinding of gears coming closer

So, I have gone and joined the army.

The Angry Robot Army, that is.

You see by the banner to your right that I am now their puppet.

Angry Robot is a new UK based imprint from HarperCollins, which, coincidentally enough, is a UK based publisher. Launching in July 2009, they publish modern adult science fiction, fantasy and other such genre favorites. To find out a little bit more about them, head on over to their website and click around the neighborhood.

I've only read one of their authors, Chris Roberson (linked in the authors section, again to your right and down a bit). If the rest are half as entertaining as I find him, then this venture should be pretty entertaining.

As for what I do now that I have been recruited, not really sure yet. You'll see some Angry Robot related posts, certainly. Maybe I'll do some investigating into the other authors and run a profile (that sounds like fun). But for now, go forth and learn about our new masters. I'm pretty sure they are benevolent.

As long as you buy their books, that is.
