About me:
.. I do wizards. I've been doing them for more than twenty-five years. (Among many other things, like Star Trek, and fantasy, and science fiction, and history, and myths & legends, and TV and film, and comics and computer games.)If you're interested, you can find some info about my writing here, and here. Info about the Young Wizards books is here; the Young Wizards news and events weblog is here. My main weblog is over here, at my website. Oh, and IMDb knows me, too.
Otherwise, you can find me in some dining car on the Continent, traveling backwards (Peter likes to face forwards, and I don't care which way I sit), drinking any white wine that isn't Chardonnay, and trying to get the computer's Bluetooth and the phone's Bluetooth to talk to each other so I can pick up the email before dessert arrives.
No milk in the coffee. Cognac afterwards (nothing fancy). What city is this again? ...
(If you have friends who do the LJ thing, I'm over here:)
Quotes
Countdown to the release of A Wizard of Mars!

Can't wait for the book? At least having the changing numbers to watch may help. :)
Who I'd like to meet:
Stephen Hawking.I assume we're not doing dead people in this list, which is just as well, as it'd go on for hours.

Are these friendly Norsemen here to trade or Murderous Vikings bent on pillage and plunder? It is up to you to to rally your troops and defend your family!
With Viking traders, craftsmen and warriors, you can expect an excitement filled weekend as you walk through the Viking camp, smell the fires roasting meat, see the sparks flying as the Black smith forges iron into spear points, anxious in case of attack. . .
Will you be there when the shieldwalls meet, heroes clash and reputations are made?
