As I promised when The Writer’s Little Book of Platitudes got republished, I am continuing on with the series! And as you can guess from the fact that the first two are focused on writing advice and the sociolinguistics of naming, the series will continue eclectic.

Next up — and fairly timely, given the release of The Eye of Leviathan — is The Writer’s Little Book of Research, now available for pre-order via the retailer links there. This is all about the tricks I’ve used over the years to find information and sources for my stories, offered up in the hopes that it might make research a little less intimidating for those who didn’t spend six years in grad school . . .

That one will be out in August. But wait, there’s more! In September (and also available for pre-order now) comes The Writer’s Little Book of Readings, i.e. my advice for performing your work in public: everything from selecting what to read, to preparing and practicing, to specific techniques, to handling the actual event. Now with a coda addressing how to read poetry!

Nor, of course, am I ending there. But for what comes next, you’ll have to wait and see . . .
