The super moon hits its peak tonight at 8:52 EST. Cool, eh? # So I’m back from TusCon43, which was a great time, and where I met lots of great people. The panels I was part of presenting or sat in on were full of vigorous conversation. I signed a few books, and got to […]
Read More ...The Divide
Like a bunch of folks, I’ve been watching the rhetoric of the fallout of this election. People trying to get a handle on what everything means are as interesting as anything else about it. Folks are wandering around, scratching their heads about how we’re more divided than ever—which I think isn’t right…I think we are […]

Read More ...The Story of Your Life, 2nd Time Around
“Have you read ‘The Story of Your Life’?” Lisa asked me a few days ago. “I want to read it before we see the movie.” The work she’s talking about is a Seiun, Sturgeon, and Nebula Award-winning novella by Ted Chiang. It’s been made into a movie titled Arrival, which is due to be released […]

The graphic was embedded in the Passive Guy’s blog a couple months ago, attached to a post titled “The stunning geographic divide […]
Read More ...My Kobo Map
One of the more awesome features on any indie distributor’s sites is Kobo’s sales map. It’s a screen from behind the scene that an Indie publisher can use to quickly see where in the world their audience is. I took a gander at mine earlier today, and thought it was pretty danged cool to see […]

I’m a week or two delinquent in posting this, but Diane Walton sent me this most interesting review of the current issue of OnSpec, which contains my story “Marvelous, Magnificent, Murderous.” I got a kick out of it. Thought you might too. My favorite part is “I liked it best because it goes against the […]
Read More ...Writing vs. Typing, Hallelujah!
It’s the season for conflict. No, not Trump vs. Clinton. I’m talking Nanowrimo fans and their opposition, a group that for the lack of a better term I’ll call the, anti-rimos. On one hand, you’ve got something like 29.394 billion writers of various skill levels pounding out words at a 50,000 word pace for the […]
Read More ...“Ten Things” is Published!
Here’s a quick note to say that “Ten Things” is up an available for free this month at Galaxy’s Edge. It’s always great to be able to note that something I wrote has been published, and even more so given that GE is edited by Mike Resnick—a guy who was so helpful to me early […]
