It's been a long winter, but I feel that I'm emerging from the cave and blinking at the light. It helps that it's actually sunny and warm today, rather than some variation of ice, snow, melted snow that's now ice, or gray clouds threatening to produce more snow and ice.

My next SG-1 novel, MURDER AT THE SGC, is turned in and on its way to MGM for their review. We're hoping it'll be out in April or early May. Stay tuned! I'll let you know an exact publication date when I have one.

And my short story "The Passing Bell" sold to the TEMPORALLY OUT OF ORDER anthology, so I'm looking forward to seeing that in print in 2014 as well. I've also got stories due out this year in The Lane of Unusual Traders project and the DAUGHTERS OF FRANKENSTEIN anthology.

Now to go see what I can do for all those anthology calls I've been making myself ignore until I was finished with the book!
