Tuesday, the latest of the CAST novels was released into the wilds in print, audio and ebook. People who have preordered the book should have seen it pop up on their ebook reading platforms. This is the nineteenth CAST novel, the twenty-third Elantra novel. I’ve been writing these books since the early 2000s, and many of you have been reading them since then. Many of you may have already read the book that was released last Tuesday >.<. I can’t believe that my world has become so over-focused on family that I completely missed what would otherwise be the most important event on Tuesday just past – which would be pub day for Cast in Blood. It’s proof that life – bad and good – continues apace, whether … Continue reading →
I started this post in July of 2025, but clearly July has disappeared beneath my feet. July was the month of CAC replacement and readjustment. Which technically started in June. 2025 has been the year of home repair. We live in a house that was built at the turn of the 1900s (I almost said century, but that could easily apply to the 2000s, which would not be accurate). I once dreamed of owning a home that wasn’t subject to landlords and their need to get rid of tenants to raise rents, among other things. And yes, a home doesn’t have landlords; it does require banks, and if you don’t pay your mortgage the end result is the same, but they can’t arbitrarily attempt … Continue reading →
This is the full cover dust jacket for the hardcover of Heir of Light. I would have posted it when I posted the paperback full cover, but I just received it today, so I’m posting it now. The text should be the same on the cover flap as it is on the trade paperback. And now I’m going back to the joy of copy-edit reviews for Wild Road >.<.
I missed December, and apologize: I was writing. I’m still writing; Cast in Blood isn’t finished, and it may undergo a title change by the end. Also, I’m now in the “panic about how long this book is going to be” phase of the novel, but it is otherwise going well. In advance: this will not be the last Barrani book. I am hoping to finish, with a reasonable arc, a book that is going to be followed by another Cast Barrani book. Just saying. My entire household succumbed to the stomach flu a week ago, and we have all mostly recovered, although I’m now in that state were, having eaten almost nothing for a week, my body assumes it is starving and wants to eat everything in sight. So, … Continue reading →
It’s been a long month. In fact, it feels like it’s been three long months, all condensed into September. I was sent copy-edits of Heir of Light, the new Sagara novel (it’s the sequel to Shards of Glass). I was given enough time to do them. I… have a bit of a flinch response to copy-edits. My father’s 90th birthday was this September 11th, and because he’s getting on in years, my sister flew in from LA, and my brother from Victoria. So — we were all going to have dinner together. My sister and brother were staying with my mother at our childhood house, which is what normally happens. My brother, however, tested positive for covid the day after he arrived. My father tested positive Tuesday morning. … Continue reading →
