I gotta say, you guys made my 2009 such a fun year! It wasn’t just the release of Once Bitten, Twice Shy, Another One Bites the Dust, and Biting the Bullet in mass market form last summer, or the release of Bite Marks in October. It was hanging out with cool fans like you every [...]
I was thinking about the languages the Jaz Parks series has been translated into, and realized it is imperative that we make a decision within the next few days! In what language would Jaz sound the most badass? A. English B. French C. German D. Spanish E. Russian F. Hungarian Or would it matter if [...]
In a little over a week the mass market version of Biting the Bullet will hit American bookstores. Some online sellers already show them in stock and shipping. Pretty exciting stuff, especially considering the fact that the book contains a new Jaz Parks Mini-Mission called The Golem Hunt. I can’t tell you too much about [...]
Here’s another set of words to add to your Jaz Parks lexicon! These are taken from Biting the Bullet, a thrill-a-minute adventure set in Tehran, during which Jaz and Vayl team up with her twin brother’s Special Ops unit to take down a high level terrorist whose bodyguards happen to be zombies. Ako Nogol—[pronounced Ah’-ko [...]
I’ve heard lots of people mention their tbr piles, often in conjunction with the Jaz books. Sometimes I even imagine them, novels with glossy covers stacked one on top of the other until they’re higher than the reading lamp by the bed. And somewhere in the middle, holding strong like Jaz & Vayl themselves, a [...]
But not too far from home. Today you can find me interviewing at Silk & Shadows, where I get to talk about Jaz, Vayl, and the gang and even give away some books. Join me, won’t you?
One of my favorite characters in the Jaz Parks series is Granny May. Possibly because she’s based (very loosely) on my maternal grandmother. Who was a huge sweetie, but (unfortunately) not nearly as outspoken or willing to share her opinions or advice as Jaz’s granny. Those of you who follow the series may have noticed that [...]
Check out my latest interview, which is with Onirik. It was inspired by the September release of the French translation of Once Bitten, Twice Shy. The intro is in French, but the rest is in English. And then, if you’re still in the mood for Q&A, how about you take part in a little interview conducted right here [...]
Mysteries bring us some of the greatest joys in life. We love being presented with a puzzle and figuring out how the pieces fit. Surely that’s why Sherlock Holmes is such an enduring character in our fiction. And why we continue to look for new heroes to lead us through the maze of murder, suspects [...]
…will have to wait until I have a low mileage vehicle. Or possibly a motorcycle. (I do know how to ride one. Used to tear up the country roads southeast of my house when I was too young to drive a car. But that’s another story, and one we probably shouldn’t share with the police, who have enough to [...]
