First real snow’s Haiku.
26 NovDrove through the first real snow to work today. Realized with relief that I’m teaching Haikus to World Literature classes. Should be fun. I was inspired to write this one:
A child’s scream echoes
over drifting hilltops white-
cocoa is waiting.

First Review-5 Stars!
25 NovYou will find The Wardmaster to be a delicious blend of mystery, suspense, action, humor, joy and sadness, with a dash of romance, a pinch of revenge and a hint of things to come. Binding these elements together is an exciting and well paced story filled with a rich cast of characters brought to life by Barret, especially Crimm the Pyrelord. Crimm is everything I expect in a fantasy hero, plus he is possessed of some very cool skills that, to me, place him a cut above most.
Expect the unexpected, discover a world full of magic, twisted evil on the verge of total conquest and a desperate people clinging to hope, all of the elemental threads required in a classic fantasy novel expertly woven together by a very talented storyteller. Barrett has used his gift for storytelling to spin an impressive debut adventure for an equally impressive new hero. Should you find your imagination in need of some play time, I suggest sitting down with The Wardmaster and letting T.L Barrett take you on a visit to Vanaheim. I look forward to visiting Vanaheim again and again as I follow the Chronicles of Crimm.

Anthocon 2012
11 Nov
A wonderful time was had at Anthocon 2012 in Portsmouth NH. I got a chance to meet so many wonderful writers and publishers: Eric and Stephanie Beebe from Post-Mortem Press, G Elmer Munson, Nicholas Conley, Robert Duperre, Rick Hautala, Gary Braunbeck, Charles Day and so many more! I got a chance to read from Chapter 2 of The Wardmaster and was inspired by the other readings.
I am now in the middle of writing the first novel which features the Valkyries exclusively. I know everyone will enjoy reading about these group of bad-ass monster-killing motorcycle mamas.
But, first on my agenda is the edits on Hairy Bromance which will be out December 1st.
Sent out a short story and a novelet to a magazine and anthology. Keep your fingers crossed for me folks!
