Although, like many professors, I rail against the use of Wikipedia as a source in my students’ research papers, I have to admit that it’s an extremely useful reference — as a writer, I often use it to quickly glean some little fact for a story. Moreover, inclusion in Wikipedia has become a sort […]

Thank you so much to everybody who showed up to my book signing today! I really appreciated having you there! All authors say that book signings are a grueling experience, and having so much friendly support really made a difference.
And special thanks to Jaime, who threw this image online for me to snag so […]

4.5 Stars. “Escape to the fantastic and captivating three-tiered city Pagliassotti has created. The plot is intricate and has multilayered characters who perplex, entertain, and gratify. This is a wonderfully written book — one for the keeper shelf.” — Romantic Times

One of my fellow yaoi scholars sent me a link to today’s New York Times article, Steampunk Moves Between 2 Worlds (see BugMeNot passwords), which discusses the steampunk aesthetic in fashion and design. Alas, Clockwork Heart isn’t mentioned, but it’s great to see mainstream media attention being given to the steampunk movement.
Wired ran an article […]

Okay, my hands are shaking a little as I go over the latest reviews. They’re so good my pessimistic nature just knows that I’m due some horrible luck soon to restore the karmic balance….
Reviewer Cheryl Rainfield gave Clockwork Heart 5 of 5 stars on her book blog and teen books sites. Reviews just don’t get […]

I’ve been profiled in the local newspaper, the Ventura County Star, for writing Clockwork Heart and editing The Harrow’s Midnight Lullabies. The photo from the Star here shows me and some of the university multimedia students who are creating online promo videos for Clockwork Heart.

Sorry that I’ve been out of it, but I’ve been out of it — as in fevered and coughing for the last three days with no end in sight today. Ugh! This is the worst bout of illness I’ve had in ages. I blame the airplane trip back from Georgia….
However, in the midst of […]

Keep your eyes open for a Clockwork Heart review & interview at BookFetish.Org.
In the meantime, I’ve written another chapter and a half for King’s Monster, which is quite a feat, considering that I’ve been writing and then scrapping scenes right and left these last two months. KM is on its fourth complete […]
