Once again, the holidays are encroaching upon us, and this time around we're hurtling headlong into a brand new decade. I'd like to thank all my readers, friends, and family for their support through the 2010's. I'm looking forward to…

It's been a long while since I've posted a writing update—seven months, to be precise. I wish I could say it's because I've been head-down finishing up work on a pair of new books, but, alas, I've been consumed with…

I'm excited to announce that I will be appearing at FOGcon 9 in Walnut Creek, California. Attending this convention has become an annual tradition for me, in part because it's local and feasible for me to attend without extensive travel…

I'm excited to announce that The Roads to Baldairn Motte ebook is available for pre-order, for only $2.99. Click here to visit Amazon and order now! Official release date is December 17, at which time, the new paperback edition…

I have admittedly not been super productive on the writing front these past several months, and part of the reason is I've been busy with my other creative endeavor, playing guitar in the band Wheel House. Since we often…

It's odd how certain events align themselves in our lives. Last month was one of those occasions for me, as I received word that not one, but two of my older books are going out of print: Umbral Visions and…

I'll be leading the third and final free workshop at the Manor Library in San Leandro, California on Monday, August 6, from 6:30pm - 7:30pm. This session will be covering all the details on the path to publication, from…

I'm excited to share with everyone the concept art that Ben Thornton created while developing the Dreamwielder coloring book pages found on my downloads page here. Ben is a wonderful artist and he was a pleasure to work with…

If you live in the East Bay Area of California and are interested in writing narrative fiction or non-fiction, please join me at the Manor Library in San Leandro, California for a workshop I'll be leading on July 2, from…

Like many, I've been watching in horror what's been happening to immigrant families crossing the border from Mexico into the United States. It's filled me with rage, disgust, and a sense of powerlessness. 

Equally disgusting has been witnessing the…

I first began blogging back in 2009 when my writing career was just getting started, talking mostly about my personal writing endeavors at first, but slowly expanding to include author interviews, reading recommendation lists, and more academic pieces on the history of SF/F/H. 

Over the nine years since launching the blog, I’ve written 143 posts (minus three or four, which my intern wrote), and all those posts have been hosted at http://garrettcalcaterra.blogspot.com, a freebie Blogger account. At long last, I’m migrating my blogging efforts here, to my official website. 

By that, I mean that all new blog posts will be posted here at www.garrettcalcaterra.com. I don’t have the time or energy to do all the work it’d take to migrate the posts from the old Blogger site (and I’m not so mean as to ask my intern to do it), but I will maintain that old site as an archive. 

To commemorate the transition, here’s an index of the best posts I created at the old site, with direct links to the posts. Please enjoy, and be on the lookout for new, regular content here! 

Welcome to the new home for Garrett Calcaterra's blog. Plenty of new interviews, articles, and other exciting posts are on the way. In the meantime, please visit the old blog site where you'll find archives of all posts written prior…
