I just finished an interview with the fabulous Felicia Day: actress, creative mind behind The Guild, and all-around good person geek.
I had a lot of fun chatting with her, if you’re interested you can find it over here at her blog.
Also, if you live in the central Wisconsin area, I’m going to be having a booksigning at the local independant bookstore, Bookfinders. It’s this Sunday from 11:00 to 1:00. Feel free to show up and hang out, I’m expecting it to be pretty relaxed there, so I should have time to chat with folks who stop by…

In recent news, I got my first piece of hatemail the other day. The author, enraged by the fact that the second book wasn’t going to be published on time, told me he wished a dog would bite me on the balls.
There was more to the letter, of course, but that was pretty much the gist of it.
For those of you looking to occupy yourselves in a more productive way while waiting for book two to come out, allow me to make a friendly suggestion: The Guild.
I stumbled onto the Guild about half a year ago and laughed my ass off. If you play computer games, or know anyone who does, odds say you’ll laugh your ass off too…
Then, months later, one of my friends forwarded THIS LINK to me.
For those of you too lazy to click, it was a blog post someone made about my book. They liked the book, but they had some pointed comments about the sort of covers they put on fantasy novels these days….
Then I looked more closely, and I realized that the person writing the blog was actress Felicia Day. You’ve probably seen her in a bunch of things, but my personal geekery stems from the fact that she played Vi on season seven of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
I know I should be cooler than this, but the truth is, I was overwhelmed with geeky joy at the thought of her reading my book and liking it.
It was only after looking over Felicia’s blog, that I realized she was in The Guild too. Not only does she play Codex, but she actually writes the script for it too….
Anyway, here’s the first episode of the guild to get you started.
