    Secrets and Lies Storybundle Has One Day Left!!!

    Don’t Miss This One… Ten really amazing books in this one if you like all kinds of mystery. Kris really put an amazing bundle together with some of the top names in mystery fiction. Get all ten books at www.storybundle.com/mystery And trust me, if you start into my novel Cold Hand: A Cold Poker Gang Mystery, hold on for the ride. It might easily be the most twisted of the series. At least so far. Also on Wednesday at 4:30 pm East Coast Time, Mark Leslie and I and maybe others will be doing a live stream and taking questions. I hope there is four or five of us writers…

    The Return of The Fey

    Kickstarter Campaign…. Off to a great start on its first day, far more than any of us expected, which is great fun. In the first five hours we not only funded (39 minutes) but we blew through the first three stretch goals and are approaching the fourth. Wow, just wow. Check it out at The Return of the Fey. The first four stretch rewards not only gets everyone great books to read, but when we hit the fourth, that will give writers three brand new Pop-Up Classes Kris and I worked out around epic fantasy. That will be a $450 value. And, of course, everyone at every award level gets…

    Boss is Back!!

    Thieves Publishes Today!! Today New York Times and USA Today bestselling novelist Kristine Kathryn Rusch’s new Diving Universe novel THIEVES publishes today. THIEVES is a great book, to say the least. Great science fiction. Boss is back and diving the boneyard. And oh, wow, is the clock ticking. Some of you may have gotten this book early through the Kickstarter we did last fall. (Hardbacks are still stuck at the printer, sadly. And the game is still stuck in China.) So if you got to read it already and like it, help us pass the word. This is just an amazing addition to the Diving Universe. And for those of…

    Book #4 Published…

    Book #4 in the Challenge… I am working to publish 70 things in the year when I am officially 70. That year started back in the middle of November, so four means I am a little behind on pace. I count only novellas, collections, novels, and anthologies (or magazine issues) with my name as editor on the cover. In other words, major books. I may also pace along with a different 70 challenge with stand-alone short stories, but will see on that. I expected to be behind at this point. Basically I need to publish about 6 books a month. I have some things coming up that will help catch…
