What's New? | email Christie

April 9, 2010: Well, there's plenty going on I'd love to share with my readers!

First, as you probably saw from the main page, I have a brand new book out. This one is Devils' Due, a StarCraft novel, but I really think that anyone would enjoy it. It's more of a buddy adventure novel, and I believe that someone new to the StarCraft universe wouldn't have a problem easing right into it. This one is fun!

Also, this coming weekend, April 15-17, I will once again be at StarFest. I'll have a whole slew of books to sell, including some really hard to find out of print ones! Drop by my table in Author's Alley and say hello!

For more information on Starfest, go here: www.starland.com

Right now I have a book due July 1, two sets of galleys, and editing to do, so I'd best get back to it. Hope to see you at StarFest, and pick up Devil's Due and tell me what you think!

October 6, 2010: October 6, 2010: Hard to believe that my favorite holiday is right around the corner. What better way to celebrate it than with a publication of new book? The Shattering: Prelude to Cataclysm, comes out October 20! If you live in San Diego (or feel like traveling there!) my fellow author Richard Knaak and I will be signing books at Mysterious Galaxy, 7051 Clairemont Mesa Boulevard, Suite 302 San Diego CA, 92111. Phone number there is 858-.268-4747. The signing begins at 7:00 and runs until 8:00. For those of you lucky enough to get tickets to Blizzcon, held October 22-23 at the Anaheim Convention Center, I will be there this year again.

Friday & Saturday
12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
4:30 PM – 5:30 PM

August 19, 2010: Thoroughly enjoyed Star Wars Celebration V earlier this month! How wonderful to meet so many readers and to see so many cool things. It was a ton of fun. Also wonderful was getting to spend time with my fellow authors Aaron Alston and Troy Denning, as well as my fantastic editor Shelly Shapiro.

Finished up another super sekrit project for Blizzard, and am now doing edits for my next StarCraft novel, Devil’s Due, which should be out in April next year. Also hard at work on Fate of the Jedi: Ascension, my final contribution to that nine book series. What an amazing adventure working on that has been.

Look for World of Warcraft: The Shattering—Prelude to Cataclysm, in October. Also in October, catch me at Blizzcon at the Anaheim Convention Center, on the 22nd -23rd . I had a blast last year meeting many of you and signing your books, I am looking forward to repeating that!

For those of you who don’t know, I am now on Facebook. Ask me to add you to my Friends list, and I shall! Might take me a week bit of time to get around to it.

And finally, a big announcement—for the first time in years, I am putting on my editor’s hat. I’m figuring out the details of how it’s all going to work, and will post them as soon as I know. Figured I’d start spreading the word now! I worked as an editor for several years before writing full time, and I think it will be fun to return to that for a while. It will be for a limited time only, so if this sounds like something you’d be interested in, please do act fast, just like all the infomercials urge you to do.

Think that’s about all for now. Look for the editing announcement in the next few days!

June 7, 2010: I'm delighted to report that STAR WARS-FATE OF THE JEDI: ALLIES will be debuting on the New York Times Bestseller List at #8 on June 13! This is especially exciting considering we're kicking off summer, and that means Big Books in bookstores. I'm very pleased!

Also, mark your calendars if you live in Colorado: On June 12, I will be doing a book signing at my local Barnes & Noble in Loveland, Colorado, at the Centerra Shopping center. I'll be there at two, and a whole bunch of 501st folks in awesome costumes will be joining me. See you there!
