The look of satisfaction after a spectacular CHAOTIC CUPIDS book launch

Last night was our Publishing MA students' event of the year. The big book launch of their projects on campus in Gunnison. @WesternGPCW



Tor Books just showed us the new cover design for the reissue of HUNTERS OF DUNE, in trade paperback format for the first time. Art by Sonia Lai, design by Russell Trakhtenberg. SANDWORMS OF DUNE is also being revamped. I'll share that when it's available.

Man, what a titan. Sorry to lose one of rock's greats.
May you rest in peace Ozzy! My condolences to Sharon, their children, their families and to all who loved him. It's been a secret pleasure of mine to have done back-up vocals for most of the album "No Rest for the Wicked" and been fan since the first Sabbath album. Thank you…
Today is the official release day for this year's Publishing MA student anthology, CHAOTIC CUPIDS: WHEN LOVE GOES AWRY. Our students put together a fabulous collection of stories. Order wherever you get books, or direct from us at wordfirepress.com @WesternGPCW

Can't wait! I'll be up in Toronto in two weekends as a guest at Rushfest, along with Hugh Syme, Terry Brown, and special new addition, the great Michael Sadler (SAGA).

More of today's beautiful @WesternGPCW Publishing hike at Lake Irwin



Today, I took a group of my Publishing grad students on a spectacular hike in the mountains near Crested Butte. @WesternGPCW



Last night's faculty reading at Western Colorado University. I read "Controlled Experiments"—"There were rats in the soufflé again." @WesternGPCW



Got my classroom! And we're getting ready for the book launch on Wednesday.


Faculty reading tonight at Western Colorado University. I'm practicing my story, "Controlled Experiments". Opening line, "There were rats in the soufflé again." @WesternGPCW
I left early this morning for my trip to Western Colorado University, so I could make a side trip up to Crested Butte and a spectacular hike on the Three Lakes Loop. I did part of the same trail where I broke my ankle last August, so this was a special victory lap!



Congratulations to #DuneProphecy for its 4 Emmy Nominations • Fantasy/Sci-Fi Costumes • Original Main Title Theme Music • Visual Effects • Production Design

Next Wednesday on campus in Gunnison (Rady Auditorium, 6 PM) our Publishing students are having a gala book launch/signing for their new anthology CHAOTIC CUPIDS and ten fine new editions of classic books. If you're around Western Colorado University, please join us! @WesternGPCW
