Dragon’s Harp and Dragonstime

Dragon’s Harp and Dragonstime

The first draft of Dragon’s Harp (was Dragon’s Heart) was sent out yesterday to the editors in both the US and the UK.

Also yesterday, I started Dragonstime which is the first sequel to Dragonsblood.

Writers for Relief

Writers for Relief

Davey Beauchamp is putting together Writers for Relief Volume 2 with proceeds going to the Bay Area Food Banks (Volume 1’s proceeds go to the Red Cross’ Katrina Fund).

I am donating “Tree” which is a short story that I, my mother, and my ex-wife, Jenna, all feel is a great story and we’re glad that it will be in a place to be read while doing such great work.

Currently Davey is looking for more authors to fill out the roster and then he’ll find a publisher. I’ll keep you posted with more news as I know it.

Orycon

Orycon

This is the letter I sent to the Programming Director of Orycon:

I am going to miss Orycon this year. I discovered an opportunity to
make a huge difference in the world and it requires that I be available
on the weekend of Orycon.

When I weighed everything up, I realized that I serve you and everyone up in Porfis — all the people I’ve known and come to love over nearly 20 years of irregular attendance — better by doing this than by being with you all for the weekend. That doesn’t mean that I don’t wish it could be otherwise or that I didn’t examine every possible alternative before coming to this conclusion.

If there’s any way I can support you, the committee, and the attendees in having the greatest Orycon ever, please let me know.

Sincerely,
Todd McCaffrey
