Grasping for the Wind Interview

I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed by John Ottinger for his blog, Grasping for the Wind. Read it here.

World Fantasy Convention


This year the World fantasy convention was held in Saratoga Spring, NY, a stunning city with streets bordered by majestic Victorian houses. Horseracing is Saratoga’s main attraction, so there are statures of horses everywhere, either the solid bronze type or the whimsical fiberglass ones.






This was my favorite horse.






















WFC was an opportunity for me to meet my publisher: me and Jeremy Lassen from Night Shade Books.


I enjoyed Dave Duncan's reading.

I met a lot of new people at the con. Here are some of them: Gary Frank, Charles Coleman Finlay, Jude-Marie Green, editor at Abyss & Apex, James Alan Gardner, Joel Champetier and his wife Valerie, Peter Halasz, administrator at the Sunburst Award, L.E. Modesitt, Derryl Murphy, Linda L. Donahue, Yves Meynard and Benoit Girard of the fanzine “The Frozen Frog”.


I was delighted to meet James Alan Gardner. I love all his books.

I was happy to see many friendly faces at the con, like: Christian Sauvé, Jean-Louis Trudel, Cliff Samuels and Eileen Capes, Robert j. Sawyer, Matthew Hughes, Randy McCharles and Val King, John Joseph Adams and Jenny Rappaport.

The autograph reception was a success. The room was buzzing with activity.

My loot: all the books I brought back from the con. Ouch! My back hurts.
