I have an article published at Mythic Scribes entitled “How to Cross a River.” Sounds easy, doesn’t it?

This is the first in a series I’ll be publishing at Mythic Scribes, appearing roughly every other month. Each article provides some historical background for writers (and readers) of fantasy.

This one talks about the pragmatic considerations of getting across a river–on foot, on horseback, or by wagon. It’s trickier than you might think.

Have a look and leave a comment at the end of the article. I’d love to hear from you!

The novel is published. It’s been finished for a couple of months, but a dozen other things had to happen first and they have all finally happened. Goblins at the Gates is officially for sale.

Which means I can return to A Child of Great Promise. I’m about 50k into that one, wrestling with what Jim Butcher calls the Great Swampy Middle.

I’ll be at the third annual Boise Book Fest this Saturday. It’s an all-day event, so come early and stay late! Author panels in the morning, workshops in the afternoon, socializing in the evening. I could not get Goblins ready in time, but if you see me there, say hi!
