On the road to Dark Haven
April 3, 2008
I’m back from Arizona and hard at work tying up the loose
ends to finish Dark Haven (book 3) on time for an early
April deadline. It’s been great hearing from people I met
in Arizona and at the many bookstores during my
February/March book tour for The Blood King. It’s exciting
to hear back from readers who have just finished the book.
Aside from writing, the Ghost in the Machine podcast rolls
on. In April, my guests are paranormal romance author
Sabrina Luna (Midnight Encounters) and mystery author Terry
Hoover (Double Dead). There’s more in common between
fantasy and their genres than you might expect. Have a
listen!

The folks over at Speculative Horizons wanted to know who
my favorite SF/F character is (other than the ones I write
about). Here’s what I said:

And I’ve been on the radio. Tony Tellado and I had a great
conversation on SciFi Talks

I was also on Geekerati radio talking about the fun and
frustration of writing fantasy fiction:

And on Today’s Author, with more about the future of the
Winter Kingdoms and the sci/fi fantasy genre:

I’ve also got a guest comment from Ghost in the Machine
podcast guest author Pamela Cable:
“I was really honored when Gail asked me to be interviewed
in a her podcast on her website. I had a ball talking to
her about creatures that go bump in the night, and why
writers and readers can't seem to get enough of them.
I'm also a huge fan of science fiction and fantasy, and
have been for years. True, I write romance, but I also
love having my imagination and sense of wonder challenged.
That's something Gail does with flair!
Urban fantasy is another genre that really speaks to me.
I'm hooked on Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series, along
with Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake and Merry Gentry
books. I adore the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine
Harris, as well as Pat Brigg's Mercy Thompson series.
Other keepers include anything by Wen Spencer and Lois
McMaster Bujold, who is simply wonderful.
As a writer, I've recently begun work on a new science
fiction romance series called TIME HUNTERS. The heroes are
genetically engineered cyborgs who leap through time in
pursuit of time traveling criminals. I just finished the
first book of the series, Time Hunters: WARRIOR. Look for
it in July.”-- Pamela King Cable
