Welcome to the writing blog of Lanny Waitsman, authot!

If you have not heard yet, I published my first novel, a fantasy novel titled "Blade Gavotte" on Amazon. It's available as both Kindle eBook and On-Demand Paperback. And since a number of people have asked, I'm investigating the possibility of publishing an audiobook. Stay tuned for further announcements. You'll see it here first!

Also, I have accepted a contract from Austin Macauley Publishers to publish a collection of short stories I've written, titled "Footsteps on Other Shores". I expect it to be published by the end of October or beginning of November. Just in time for WindyCon! Be sure to check in the Huckster's Room for copies of both books.

During the coming days, I will be posting excerpts from two new novels in progress. The first is a hard SF novel in the tradition of 'Ringworld", tentatively titled "Terrekonos". And the second is a science fantasy titled "Castle Erewhon". It is a novel based on a short story of the same name that will appear in "Footsteps". The short story is the last chapter of the novel. Saves me a bit of work....

Please feel free to post comments, feedback, etc. I welcome your feedback since it will show me where I need to work on my writing. Anything to get better!

Also, I plan to post a series of short pieces that I call "Random Bits of Whatever", because that's what it is! It could be (and will be) just that - whatever I feel like writing about at the moment.

Stay tuned!
