Here, There Be Dragons

The End Is Only The Beginning

Simon & Schuster have just made public the finished cover art for the final book in the first Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica: THE FIRST DRAGON.

On November 12 — the day after my birthday — readers will finally experience the end of the story I began in 2006 with HERE, THERE BE DRAGONS. Somethings ended up being different in the writing than they were in the planning, but I believe I ended up — with the story, as well as in my life — exactly where I was meant to go.

All of the previous books in the series may be purchased — signed and sketched-in — from the Coppervale Marketplace/Crossroads Bookstore.

Mark your calendars — THE FIRST DRAGON goes on sale at fine booksellers everywhere on November 12, 2013!

Everything is Signal

This announcement has been several months in the making, and while there are still some changes to be made and some fine-tuning to come, now was the right time to make it, so make it I shall. I have a link for you, where, among other assorted marvels and wonders, you can find a new, brief essay – an essay which includes a graphic, and a message. ALL of it is Signal. And ALL of it is meant to be shared as often and as widely as possible (especially the graphic). This – and all future Signals – will focus on my books The Meditations, and my work, and my art, and the things that I believe are really important in this world, and in this life. The first new entry is dated today. I hope you’ll enjoy what I’ve shared – and will share it in turn with everyone who needs to read it. Good things are coming here – every day.

Tomorrow – THE DRAGONS OF WINTER is here!!!

Tomorrow’s the day!! The sixth Imaginarium Geographica book, THE DRAGONS OF WINTER officially goes on sale – and while I will be doing launch events at the Desert Ridge Barnes & Noble (Scottsdale) and Changing Hands (Tempe) as well as being a GoH at Coppercon 32 (Avondale), there will NOT be a formal signing tour. There ARE going to be a few opportunities for events: I’m still doing school and library visits, and I may be painting murals at some point in Texas and maybe Tennessee. I’ll also be having a local event at Crossroads Books later in September – but that’s it. There are several reasons, but the biggest are 1) I have a LOT of work on my plate, a lot of which is for a project I am bursting at the seams to announce; and 2) I WILL be doing a HUGE tour next year for the big finish to the series. So everything in its time. But I wanted to post this here, so those of you in far-flung locales who want signed copies won’t be waiting for a local signing. The best place to get signed – and personalized books – is going to be directly from us, here. We’ll have our copies in about a week, and will start shipping them the third week of September. Outside of that, I hope my readers will support your local bookstore – and I hope you all enjoy reading THE DRAGONS OF WINTER as much as I enjoyed making it!
