VIDEOS I read from Man of War , my sequel to Philip José Farmer's novel Two Hawks from Earth , for Farmercon XV . It was a virtual celebration, so I missed seeing all my Meteor House family in person this year. Here's to next year, everyone! You can see the other events on the Meteor House YouTube channel .

EVENTS I'm hosting writing sprints during the third day of Tim Waggoner's Writing in the Dark Book Launch and Workshop  on Sunday, September 13 from 10 - 11 AM ET. The entire event begins on Friday, September 11 at 5 PM ET at AllAccessCon , the virtual convention arm of Raw Dog Screaming Press .

VIDEOS "Write the Book They Can't Put Down" is based on my article "The Shifting Grail" from the international award-winning writing guide Many Genres, One Craft , which I co-edited with Michael A. Arnzen . This video captured the version I presented for MGOC's publisher Headline Books and their Zoom Into Books series on April 8, 2020. Using examples of well-known movies and literature, I show how character motivation can dictate pacing and suspense, making your book one readers can't put down. I've also taught an extended version as a class for Seton Hill University's MFA in Writing Popular Fiction program.

I interviewed Science Fiction author Albert Wendland about his new poetry collection Temporary Planets for Transitory Days . The book contains the poems of Mykol Ranglen , the main character in Al's novels The Man Who Loved Alien Landscapes and In a Suspect Universe . The launch was hosted by AllAccessCon , the media arm of Raw Dog Screaming Press , the parent company of publisher Dog Star Books .
