Lots of things going in in my corner of the universe.
First off, books!
HOUSE OF CARDS is out! Quick! Go forth! Buy it! Get me onto a bestseller list! *hopeful eyes* :)
I've also posted a teaser for THE QUEEN'S BASTARD, first in my new series starting in May.
I've been invited to participate in a Subterranean Press anthology with three other authors (Kate Elliott, Robin Hobb and Kelley Armstrong. Wow, am I in good company!). My plan at the moment is to write a Janx and Daisani short story, tentatively titled "From Russia, With Love". That's going to be so much fun. :)
Second, comics! We've moved the TAKE A CHANCE launch date to July, to give ourselves more time to get our legs under us and to give the comic the dazzling start we all think it deserves.
Third, appearances!
I'm the guest of honor at P-Con in Dublin, Ireland, March 29-30 2008. If anybody has a chance to make it over, please do!
I've been invited to be a workshop teacher at a writer's conference in South Carolina this October. I'll post more about that when I have more details, but it looks like a really exciting, intense weekend, and I'm looking forward to it.
I've arranged a bonanza signing at the Forbidden Planet in London, tentatively scheduled for 20 September. The entire Negotiator trilogy will be out by then, as well as THE QUEEN'S BASTARD, and of course all the Walker Papers that are currently available. There should also be three issues of Chance out at that point, so, yeah: a bonanza signing event. More as I know it on that, too.
Fourth, stuff totally not related to writing! :)
I'm running a poll on my livejournal page to tally votes for a photography exhibition project, and invite you all to go take a look and render an opinion. I think you have to actually be an LJ member to vote, but if you're not, you can always email me at cemurphyauthor@gmail.com with your two cents. :)
Due to the response in the poll already, I'm looking at selling 5x7" prints of each set of 6 for $50, and am likely to start with the graveyard set. If anybody'd like to pre-order a packet, or sees a specific image they might want at a larger size, again, please do email me. :)
And I think that's about all for now. :)
