Hey, gang, Long time, no be here, I know. But this author has been busy. First off, my novel Dragon's Tongue was finally released by Meisha Merlin back in late May. It premiered at ConQuesT in Kansas City, MO. The hardcopies are all sold out, but you can still pick up a trade paperback at any local ...

Hi, Gang. Yeah, it's me again, out here to toot the old horn. (Knew I should have laid off the beans... ) Anyway, I am here to update ya'll on what's going on with me and my books. I received a big box of advance reading copies of my novel DRAGON'S TONGUE from my publisher. They are slated to be put...

Nae Problem. I've been so busy, between battling debt collectors in court, finishing edits on HOUNDS OF ARDAGH and other stuff, I've not had much time to be out here either. Though I did learn that I had sold a short story to Farthing Magazine called "The Eyes Have It" (a humorous tale of kitchen we...

Yep, it's official, and stuff is going up by the minute (and I do recommend a barf bag, people). m If you click on Fan Fic, you will find that my fine ode to the odious master of literature (not) is the first item... And a link, of course, to my own webpage. *g* Laura J. Underwood (A Little Bit of T...

And now we have made the LA Times.

It's just not smart to take on professional writers, but Publish America thought they could. When repeated warnings from such groups as "Predators & Editors" and SFWA's own "Writers Beware" caused new authors to have second thoughts about signing with the company, Publisher America went on the a...

Just signed contracts for a chapbook collection of short fiction under the title "Marking The Signs and Other Tales of Mischief" to be published next year by Yard Dog Press. This collection is very different from my usual stuff, containing dark fantasy/humor with an East Tennessee slant. The collect...

So below are the report of the two cons I have been at in the past two weeks. CONESTOGA 8 Or, It's Good to Be a Writer... Especially when the nice folk are treati...

ConCat, though I am not sure when the next one is going to be... Nashville and Chattanooga both have regular conventions. BUBBAS is a shared universe created by Selina Rosen. The premise is that in the year 2025, a virus called Yuppie 25 managed to escape the lab where it was created. It is believed...

It was a Good News/Bad News sort of weekend. The con itself was wonderful... Started out Friday, stopped at the CU, grabbed cash and made good time... Until I got to the far side of Nashville where three lanes became one and with no more than 1000 feet of warning. So naturally, the world slowed to a...
