A lot is happening in the world of Sam Sykes! And if you currently aren’t the young lady who has been staring through my bedroom window for the past week, tapping on the glass and murmuring “ritualoffleshritualoffleshritualofflesh,” you’d have no idea what was happening! But let this blog post illuminate your darkened cortexes and massage your stress lobes.
Appearances in October (all information as to location and times are in the links)!
I will be at the RinCon Games in Tucson this upcoming weekend! Copies of Tome of the Undergates will be sold there and I will sign the piss out of them. If you buy a copy without piss, though, I’ll still sign it!
The Surrey International Writer’s Conference is next on October 22-24th! You may remember my blog post about it, all that information still holds true. But I must warn you, friends, while I’m beyond elated to chat writing with you as much as you damn well please, I’m not going to be around on the 24th because…
I’ll be at the Poisoned Pen with several other authors, including my main man, James A. Owen, at 2 PM! We’ll all be happy to talk shop and skeedaddle with you (assuming you bring both skee and daddle).
And then, finally, I will be at the World Fantasy Con, October 28-31st! Come chill with me whenever you please, but do not talk to me when I am battling Blake Charlton or Peter V. Brett. This is for your safety, as we will all have chainsaws and shotguns.
Interviews!
I Answered Eight Shoddy Questions for a doubting SFFNews in which I discuss fantasy, my books and the dreaded koala scourge of Australia! You can also see a man named Tubamaster defend my book! Do you dare doubt the Tubamaster?
Also, if you’ve ever wanted to hear the melodious screech of my voice, I did a Podcast for SFSignal along with John Ottinger and Aidan Moher. We discuss everything from moral ambiguity to Brent Weeks’ sister!
Sales!
Tome of the Undergates was just recently sold to Turkey, courtesy of my very fine agent, Heather Baror! If you are Turkish and have been dying to read this book in your native tongue, your wait is…almost over. I mean, we still got to get it published and all. But I mean, there you go!
I’m actually quite interested in the SF/F scene in Turkey. Is it big? Are you Turkish? Can you answer that? Please do, if so!
Salad!
I am about to eat one right now.
Black Halo!
Excerpts and cover art coming soon!
Did that answer everything? I hope so. If not, please take up a spot next to the girl at my window.
sounds like your pretty busy. finished up your book and will be writing a review soon. We should get together for a beer sometime soon.
Turkey! Good grief, how did that happen? So exciting… Hmm, still think I’d rather read it in English – every time I read books translated into Turkish I find mistakes and think “darn it, why didn’t they hire me to copy edit? Those dang fools…”
