Book Signing Next Week!

Just wanted to make sure all you lovely people out there knew that I’ll be at Barnes & Noble next Saturday (the 17th) from 1-3pm in Augusta, signing pretty much anything you put in front of me. In fact, if you bring something particularly noteworthy or unusual for me to sign, I’ll bring some prizes to hand out. But you’ll have to say the magic phrase. Of course, this means I need to come up with a magic phrase. Something no one’s going to guess . . . We’ll make it so that it’s something longtime fans would know. Let’s […]

Want to Hear Me Read the Second Chapter of MEMORY THIEF?

A month or so ago I did a reading with The Other Stories, a podcast that has authors read from their books and then interviews them about their writing. I’m pleased to say it’s finally been posted on their site, and you can hear it here. I read the second chapter of the book. It was done over Skype, so the microphone isn’t the best, but it’s not too painful on the ears, I hope. 36 minutes in all, with half of it being the reading and the other half me talking about where the book came from, what inspired

What’s the Best Advice I Could Give an Aspiring Teen Writer?

This past Monday, I had a chance to go to our local high school and talk to a creative writing class. First off, how cool is it that my high school has a creative writing class? I don’t remember anything being offered like that when I was in high school, and I think it would be a blast to have been in one back then. (Then again, I’m not sure if I would have actually enrolled in one if I could have. I was way too focused on taking all the hardest classes to maintain my chances of being valedictorian.
