Print Copies of Ruby Fever
Print copies of Ruby Fever have been sighted in the wild. This is a soft release, meaning that the publisher is letting the bookstores put the copies out as soon as they get them. Your best bet are BN and indie stores. We know for a fact that Powells in Oregon will ship copies early.

Muffins, Trucks, and Deleted Scenes
I meant to post this earlier, but I’m sleep deprived and behind my schedule. Last night Gordon had trouble falling asleep. Normally when that happens, he turns on TV, usually something like Ancient Aliens. We listen to the magic aliens who used a vimana to fly to Antarctica and build secret pyramids, and it puts

We are treating you to a deleted scene from Ruby Fever. Mod R would like us to remind you that Fated Blades is released in print today. Michael Latimer was a very large man. It was an unfair description. There were other things one noted about him, things that were more concerning and carried greater

We Are Dumb
This weekend Gordon and I finally figured out Catalina’s character arc for Ruby Fever. We had written it in. We had grounded it in the previous novels. We had dove-tailed Alessandro’s conflict into hers. And neither of us had recognized that we had done all that, because in one of the pivotal scenes we had

Unexpected Visitors
He was a very large man. It was an unfair description. There were other things one noted about him, things that were more concerning and carried greater weight.
