January? Already?

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

Holy cats, where did 2009 go?

Ah, who cares? It’s gone, baby, gone, and 2010 has begun. I, for one, am glad. I’ve been looking forward to 2010 for a while now, for a number of reasons. The biggest, of course, is HUNGER coming out in August.

But there will be plenty more Post Mortem interviews coming — starting tonight. Stay tuned.

I’m currently working on RAGE, the second book in the Riders’ series. It’s rolling along — I’ve got about six chapters to go. Something interesting happened a few chapters back: I realized I didn’t like the synopsis for the rest of the book. So I rewrote it. Yeah, that happens sometimes: the story we think we’re going to write winds up not being the story we actually write. As long as the story that comes out is the **right** story, that’s what matters. (She typed confidently.)

Okay, I’ve got a Post Mortem interview to post. Diana Peterfreund’s Astrid, the heroine of RAMPANT, took some time out from unicorn-hunting to talk to Death. Good stuff. (I will never watch LEGEND the same way again.)



Happy Birthday to Me

My birthday is here! Cake for breakfast and happiness all around! Here’s wishing everyone a marvelous, magical day.

A new Post Mortem is on its way — stay tuned!



So What’s This Post Mortem Thing?

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

By now, some of you may be wondering what the heck the Post Mortem part of my website is all about. (Or maybe not. But for the sake of this blog post, and my fragile ego, I’m going to act as if I’ve been bombarded with questions about Post Mortem.)

Simply put, Post Mortem is a fake talk-radio show. And Death is the host.

Now, I have to be clear: this isn’t Neil Gaiman’s Death (although she is incredibly fabulous), and this isn’t Terry Pratchett’s Death (with or without all caps when he speaks). This is my Death. (Which, taken out of context, sounds incredibly weird and perhaps a little creepy.) Specifically, this is the character Death, who will appear in my upcoming novel HUNGER.

For more about Death and his role in HUNGER…well, you’ll have to be patient. (A year, folks. One year. We can do it!)

As for Post Mortem, here’s the deal: Death — cuddly, fun-loving guy that he is — has decided to interview the characters of other authors. The other authors’ characters, bless them, have happily agreed to come on over and answer some questions and talk about things…including what it’s like working with their authors.

Yeah, I’m pretty psyched about it too.

Some of the authors whose characters will be guests on Post Mortem? Heather Brewer. Rachel Caine. Mari Mancusi. Michelle Rowen.

So stay tuned.
