		<description><![CDATA[In a recent Twitter chat at #scifichat, I was asked about how my former career as a costumer and puppet maker affects my writing.  I realized that making and wearing costumes can actually be a great psychological tool for authors.  In fact, I think many of us do it subconsciously already. Think about the opening [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve got a short story, &#8220;The Quin Quart,&#8221; in a new fantasy anthology that&#8217;s just been released, The Trouble With Heroes, which collection has—as you can perhaps tell by looking at the cover—a bit of a gender-bending theme. The editor of this anthology, the talented and experienced Denise Little, asked the contributing writers to show [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve got a new short story out, “Project: Creation,” in a themed science fiction/fantasy anthology called Intelligent Design (DAW Books, September 2009). Although short stories aren’t as popular as novels, and although short fiction writers bemoan the lack of markets compared to a few decades ago, there is still a surprising amount of short fiction [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s a novel based on Chandra Nalaar, a character in the popular fantasy card-game Magic: The Gathering.
