I'm copyediting the Spanish in The Patron Saint of Plagues for the mass-market paperback edition. This is a great ease to my mind as the book went to press without a thorough Spanish edit. But copyediting a book that I effectively completed some four years ago? Feels like I'll be editing this thing till the day I die. (The mmpb edition is due out on my birthday, November 27, FYI.)

A couple film makers from a great big honkin' studio contacted me about optioning PSOP back in May, and, while I like them and their vision for the story as a movie (like that matters, but I do), the deal has hitched and started so many times, I haven't wanted to report on every development here. Now things look more positive. Stay tuned.

After a heads up from my editor, the next round of edits on The Magician and The Fool are expected any minute. I spent the day cleaning my study yesterday, getting ready for the home stretch run, and I'm eager to see what the hell I handed in this summer. Yeah, it was honestly like that.

Also, I finished an interview with Ms. Dornbusch over at ElectricSpec. Look for the interview and a short story of mine to run in late September. 

It's been a while since I've posted, no? Sorry. Life. Meanwhile, Le Baby is walking. She's walking so well she can even stop, pivot and change directions. The fact that she likes to do so while swinging a purse is furrowing eyebrows all over the household.
