Me, babbling. . .

S Andrew Swann | February 12, 2010

If you missed it last night, I was on the Nightstalkers internet radio program.  I talked about werewolves, writing and Wolfbreed.  (Ain’t I alliterative?) With the exception of one technical glitch with my phone (I think you can hear me swearing) it went well.  If you missed it, don’t fret.  It should be on their [...]

Two Blogish Things

S Andrew Swann | February 5, 2010

Blogish Thing #1: The Amazon/Macmillan thing continues rolling on, making Amazon look more and more the villian to those of us who write for a living.  Reactions are varied, and I’d like to endorse Scalzi’s call not to boycott, but to buy books from the affected authors.
Also like Scalzi, I’ve decided to stop with the [...]

We interrupt this blog to bring you an important message. . .

S Andrew Swann | February 3, 2010

Today I’ve a guest blog post up @ SciFiGuy.ca wherein I go and mull over my current obsessions on religion and space opera in the Apotheosis Trilogy.
Can you write SF about religion? It’s an interesting question because when people tend to think of Religion and SF, it almost always in terms of opposition. It is [...]

Audio Goodness Coming in March

S Andrew Swann | February 3, 2010

Here we see the cover of the Blackstone Audio version of Wolfbreed coming out March 20th.  Much coolness, and it’s interesting seeing a cover that’s clearly influenced by Spectra’s cover, yet different.  I can’t wait to get this on my iPod.

Heretics is out today!

S Andrew Swann | February 2, 2010

Zoe doesn’t seem too impressed, but it may be because she can’t read.
If you want to buy it on-line, but you’re pissed at Amazon’s antics of late, you can buy it here. Or here.

Cool review of Wolfbreed

S Andrew Swann | January 8, 2010

Thought I’d point this out on the blog proper. At the Blood of the Muse there’s a cool review of Wolfbreed which is not just cool because he liked the book, it’s also cool because of the meta-commentary about werewolves in general being the red-headed stepchild of classic monsters.
Werewolves. They are like the annoying little [...]

And then there was one. . .

S Andrew Swann | January 6, 2010

I’m currently working on Messiah, which is not only the last volume of the Apotheosis Trilogy, it is also quite possibly going to be the capstone on my entire Moreau/Hostile Takeover universe.  I won’t say it will be the last book in that universe (never say never) but it is likely to be the last [...]

I can always tell when Harriet Klausner gets a promo copy…

S Andrew Swann | December 29, 2009

My RSS reader starts lighting up from my Google feed. She gives me a positive review in her own unique style.
Here.
Here.
And here.
I suspect there’s more out there somewhere.
