*heavy sigh*
Pictured: my very first actual, physical copy of,which arrived today; and alsoMouse Dog,who arrived about a year and a half ago.

And also me! Repeatedly.
Yes, the third novel of myDinosaur Lords Trilogy,,will be out fromToronTuesday, August 15th, 2017!That’s two weeks! Whoa!
And of course it has a wonderfulcover. Need you even ask?
Not pictured: any actual dinosaur princesses. Unless thatCeratosaurusis one.
Richard Andersontakes certain artistic liberties sometimes. For some reason, I don’t mind.
You can pre-order your very own hardback copy by clicking the title or the image above, or,and for Kindle.
It’s gotten some pretty sweet advance notices, fromand.(In both cases, scroll down.)has,and thrown in a glossary as a bonus. And here’s a fine review from!(That’s three for three there.Yes.)
So that’s a promising start. Fingers crossed it does well � if you’d like to see more books by me. Specifically, more adventures on Paradise. Andmostspecifically of all, the second trilogy which will complete the saga of Karyl and Shiraa!
Of which more anon.
So, signing? Yeah, I’ll signing.

Dinosaur Knights Prepare The Way!
Finally!
Some random Parasaurolophus, Big Sally, Snowflake, Shiraa, and Camellia help me celebrate the big arrival!
(Yes, I know they’re the wrong colors. Work with me, here.)
Yes, my author’s copies of the mass-market version ofarrived yesterday! And here it only came out on May 30. (I’m told theTorwarehouse screwed up sending them to me; thanks toClaire “The Editor� Eddy’salso-excellent assistantKristin Templefor getting me some.)
And what are those dino-riding knights preparing the way for?in hardcover, of course! Due outAugust 15th!And available for pre-order by clicking on the title. You can also pre-order it inform, though I can’t decently recommend you pay the absurdly extortionate price of $13 for a freaking ebook. If you insist, though�.
But Book I,,is now available onfor $3! Which is actually a reasonable price, and what I wish they’d charge for this one.
(Warning! Keep reading only if you want to see Cute Cat Pictures!)

You knew this was coming. Hope you covered your ears.
I have not one but two triumphs to celebrate, and they areT. rex-mighty ones indeed!
1. Yesterday I paid off the mortgage on my house, which I bought in 1987.
2. I just a handful of minutes ago sent off the proposal for a brand-new novel � the proposed first volume of a Dieselpunk trilogy � calledThe Diesel Magi,to my Super-Agent,Kay McCauley,at the request of my editor atTor, Claire Eddy.
And I amstoked.

In Which I Appear � On Video!
So,,just posted a.It's a mess (term used advisedly) of your favoriteauthors new and old, appearing onstage at George'sin Santa Fe -in the personas of our characters!
/p>
Yes, I'm in this too. What? You thought they'd keep me away from the limelight?
Every year our Super-Agent,Kay McCauley,throws a cocktail party for the Wild Cards crew in Santa Fe. Last time, in August of 2016, for various reasons a bunch of people, new WC contributors especially, decided to come in from out of town to attend. While far from all of them wound up here onstage, the attendant signing in the art gallery next door (George owns the whole building) was probably the largest gathering of Wild Cards authors in history! Until even more turned out for,the Kansas City,the next week. (Although I was not among them.)
