Sacrifice: The First Book of The Fey Reissued!
Fans have been asking me for years when my big fantasy series The Fey would get reissued. WMG has started the process now, with wonderful covers by Dirk Berger. Sacrifice, the first book, has just appeared this month. The next six books (including the two in the Black Throne series) will appear every other month or so. The first book in the Place of Power series–a continuation of the Fey–will appear in late 2012 or early 2013. There will also be a Fey compendium around that time. Right now, Sacrifice is only available as an e-book or an audio book, but the trade paper edition will come out in June. Watch this space for an announcement on that. You can order the e-book on Kindle, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords or in … Read entire article »

The Business Rusch: Publishers (Surviving the Transition Part 2)
The Business Rusch: Publishers (Surviving The Transition Part Two) Kristine Kathryn Rusch For the past two weeks, I’ve geared this blog toward established writers, writers who have been in the business for ten or twenty years or more, and have made a living from their writing during this time. My first post in this mini-series, “Writing Like It’s 1999,” got a lot of attention, with more hits than any other post I’ve ever written. That post showed established writers who’ve been busy with contracts, deadlines, and other details of their writing careers that the publishing business has changed dramatically in the past few years. Last week’s post, “Surviving The Transition,” got fewer readers, which is too bad. Because so many writers read the scary post and either dismissed it or decided it didn’t … Read entire article »

Award News
Now I can tell you a secret I’ve been sitting on for weeks. Two secrets, really. My story, “Red Letter Day,” won the AnLab Award for Best Short Story. AnLab is Analog Magazine’s Readers Choice Award. ”Red Letter Day” is a stand-alone story about time travel. My novella, “Becoming One With the Ghosts,” won the Asimov’s Readers Choice Award for Best Novella. ”Becoming One With the Ghosts” is part of my Diving Universe. The awards were given this weekend in Washington D.C. I wasn’t able to go because I had already agreed to book signings this weekend for my two book releases this month. But I’m very excited about this. Readers awards mean a great deal to me because they come from the readers themselves. So I need to say some thanks. … Read entire article »

The Business Rusch: Surviving The Transition (Part One)
The Business Rusch: Surviving The Transition (Part One) Kristine Kathryn Rusch I know I scared a lot of you last week. Many of you—most of you, judging by my private e-mail and the discussions I had in person in Los Angeles over the weekend—had no idea the industry had changed so much. Most of my conversations in Los Angeles, when I wasn’t meeting with Hollywood people or doing my own business, were about last week’s blog. I meant to scare you. I wanted to shock you awake, so that you understand what is happening to the industry that we all love. I want you to know that most of what you learned, experienced, and understand about the publishing industry—the industry you have worked in for decades—no longer applies. Just as I expected, a … Read entire article »

Mid-Month Novel Excerpt: Wickedly Charming
Once per month, I’ll publish an excerpt of one of my novels, and I hope you’ll be intrigued enough to buy the rest of the book. I began this practice in February. Unlike the free fiction I put up every Monday, the novel excerpts will remain on the site. If you want to read the opening to the previous three novels, click here. This month, I’ve excerpted Wickedly Charming, my most recent Kristine Grayson novel. The Grayson novels are marketed as romance, but in truth, they’re light fantasy. At its heart, this is a book about books. As Publishers Weekly said, “Reality and fairy tales collide in this altogether delightful story….Book lovers will be thrilled by the inside look at the publishing world, while fairy tale fans will love the in-jokes.” I … Read entire article »
