Frostborn Debuts in Paperback Today! Watch the Trailer!

Today, May 26th, is the day that the paperback edition of my middle reader fantasy adventure novel, Frostborn, debuts! To celebrate, we've made an awesome book trailer. The trailer appeared this morning on SciFiChick.com (thank you!), but is now public on YouTube for viewing and sharing. Please check out the awesome trailer!

There is a lot of talent reflected in this. Book cover artwork is by the awesome Justin Gerard, character and scene work by Andrew Bosley, map by Robert Lazzaretti, vocals by RPG Gamer Dad and RPG Gamer Mum, and music by Red Audio UK. Thank you all!

Meanwhile, I'll be signing and rune-stamping the paperback this coming Saturday, May 30th, at 2:00 PM at the Books-A-Million at Brookwood village!

I'll have a set of Thrones & Bones on hand to demonstrate game play and be giving out shrink-wrapped packages of sets of 5 Trading Cards to everyone who wants one!

If you're in the area, come by!

Story, Story, Story

Fantastic interview with Leonard Nimoy over at SciFiChick.com. I'm particularly struck by this question and response:

How do you feel about the current state of science fiction on TV and film? 

Well, I’m concerned about the positioning of story in terms of importance. When I see a lot of explosions and a lot of chases, I’m not terribly impressed. I think there are three terribly important elements that must be given a priority position in science fiction as well as in any other kind of drama. The first is story, the second is story, and the third is story. Story, story, story, story, story. If the story is compelling and interesting, I think all the rest will find its place.
