On certain days, when I pass by a trash can full of rotten fruit and children's vomit, I get a very strong sense memory of being inside Jambalaya Jim's

Interview: RagingCheetah

Alan Shih from RagingCheetah.com has published an interview with me conducted at the Wizard World show last month. I’m trying to get better at giving different answers in interviews, because I know diehard Wonder Women and Marksmen* aren’t really interested in reading the same old things over and over, but it’s not always easy on the convention floor when all day long I am giving an identical pitch to everyone who approaches the table.

‘Beards of our Forefathers’ press coverage

Here is some press coverage about my upcoming book, Beards of our Forefathers: an article at Publishers Weekly, another at some other site, and the official Dark Horse press release.

Also, to answer some readers’ questions about the book: I’m encouraging Amazon pre-orders now, but I will also have signed copies available for purchase directly from my store once it comes out in the summer. Anyone who buys the book via Amazon or their local bookstore will also be able to, if they like, send me their copy for signature/personalization.

While I’m posting articles, here’s another (very favorable) review of a short story I had featured in Pseudopod recently. The mention of my story, “Fever,” is near the bottom of the page.

Interview: Half Hour Wasted

A podcast called “Half Hour Wasted” interviewed me at the STAPLE! show a few weeks ago! Here’s the episode — the bit with me starts at 24:50. I don’t say much that’s news to the dedicated Wondermark fan (“Wonderian”? “Marker”? “Marki”?); I should really start making up wildly divergent answers to interview questions in the future.
