KRUU Radio Interview

This is a link to a lengthy radio interview I did recently.  I talk about SYLO and writing and all sorts of other stuff.  It’s long, so if you feel like listening to me go blah, blah, blah for a while, follow the link!

SURPRISE! Title and cover of SYLO #2

It was a surprise to me too. Unbeknownst (I love that word) to everyone I’ve spoken to, (meaning, nobody will admit to who did it) the cover for SYLO #2 has been released in cyber space. Oops. SYLO #1 hasn’t even been published yet! Ahhhhhh! Okay, I’m over it. So, here it is, with little (or no, actually) fanfare, build-up, or teasing, is the title and cover for the second book of The SYLO Chronicles.

STORM_31

STORM will be published in March, so forget all about this and go read the first book…as soon as it comes out. Sheesh.

SURPRISE!

Entertainment Weekly (EW.com) has just posted a major excerpt of SYLO on their website.  The first eight (!) chapters.  So if you want a little taste of the story, go to:

I’m not sure how long it’s going to be up, so don’t delay.

They’re baaack….

By overwhelming, popular demand, after a four year (?) hiatus, the forums are back.  Here is the place to discuss my books, add fan art, fan fiction, or talk about anything you’d like.  The original “Pendragon Forums” were incredibly popular but I eventually had to shut them down because they got a little too crazy.  It was a place where many people came and eventually we created a small community.  Hopefully we can re-capture that magic.

There is only one thing I’d like to ask of everyone…be respectful of others and of the forums.  People of all ages will be posting and reading the comments so please use common sense before posting something inappropriate.

AND…be sure to mark all spoilers.  That’s huge.  With the Pendragon books, I added a different thread for each book, just as it was in the very beginning with the original forums.  So if you’ve only read through the first couple of books, you might not want to jump ahead to threads on the later books.  Just sayin’.  The same applies for Morpheus Road.  Try not to post spoilers from “The Blood” in the thread about “The Light”.  Duh.

I’ve also started a thread about SYLO.  Muhahaha!  As we get closer to publication, I’ll post some tidbits about the book in there.

There are also sections for FANART and FANFICTION.  The fanfiction from the old Pendragon forums was awesome.  I hope that happens again.  One word of advice…back-up whatever you write.

And of course, there is another GENERAL COMMENTS section.  This is the place to talk about anything and everything.  This was the most popular section of the previous forums and I expect it will be here as well.  Again, write what you’d like but always be respectful.

In order to post on the forums, you will have to sign up.  It’s very easy.  This is for security purposes only.  Trust me, I am not making lists of everybody’s names that I can use for some nefarious purpose.  The information you give to sign up here, stays here.  Those who have signed up before, and the thousands of people who have e-mailed me over the years know that I do not store that information to then use for marketing purposes.  I think that’s cheesy, so I have never done it and won’t ever do it.

I think that’s it.  I hope we can all recapture a little bit of the magic that we once had.  Fingers crossed.

Have fun!
