Amid all the excitement around the release of Glamour of the God-Touched, I forgot to mention that The Young Explorer’s Adventure Guide has posted an excerpt of my short story “Goliath vs. Robodog” on Wattpad. Their kickstarter has funded, and the project is a full-go. Congrats to them. I’m really happy to be a part […]

Progress and good news!
It’s been a bit since I dropped a note here. Sorry for that, but it’s been quite busy. I’m back doing the final polish on the 8-episode fantasy piece, which is now absolutely complete through episode three. The work here goes pretty quickly, but there’s a lot of it, and I’m creating an entire character […]
Read More ...Refilling the pipeline …
I was doing a routine review of my overall status a few days ago when I realized that after “Unfolding the Multi-Cloud” appeared in Analog (as it is scheduled next month), I would no longer have a work in the pipeline there. This made me more than a little sad because I’ve published four stories […]
Read More ...“The Mysterious Case of Shojiro Sano’s Bats” released
Yes, it’s that time of year again. Baseball is upon us. Okay, technically baseball was upon the Aussies a few days ago, but Monday sees the opening of the game here in the US. I’m pleased to be celebrating baseball’s opening day by announcing that my short story “The Mysterious Case of Shojiro Sano’s Bats” […]
Read More ...Christmas in space? Oh, yes … with a twist of SF, of course
Little Jack Horner sat in a corner …” You think you know the story, right? But it goes deeper–way, way deeper–than that little rhyme could ever explain. For example, did you know the story happens in space? Probably not. And, did you know … wait … perhaps I’m going too far. If you want to […]
Read More ...“Bugs” is Published!
This is where I get to mention in that suave tone of mine that my story “Bugs” is the lead story in this month’s issue of Analog. I think it’s a good sign that even after publishing 50+ stories, I still get a major energy bump from seeing my name on the cover of a […]
Read More ...“The Teammates” Sees Print
It’s hard to settle back into a semi-normal flow of life after a big event like the wedding. But I’m very pleased to note that my story “The Teammates” is now live and available online for free in the new issue of Galaxy’s Edge. This was a fun one to write, and one that I […]
Read More ...“Survivors” to Analog
Among all the hecticity going on (have I mentioned that my little girl is getting married here … maybe not), I’m pleased to note that Trevor Quachri at Analog has let me know he’s interested in publishing my story “Survivors.”. Contracts still to be signed, but we’ve somehow managed to complete that stage several times […]
Read More ...“The Legend of Parker Clark and Lois Jane” Takes Flight
I’m happy to announce that the Fiction River Anthology How to Save the World was published today, including my short story “The Legend of Parker Clark and Lois Jane.” Sounds Super Heroish, doesn’t it? Well … it is … except it’s not … except it’s hard science, or, as editor John Helfers said while accepting […]
Read More ...“Josie Andrew” Makes it to the Kindle
In celebration of Father’s Day weekend, I thought I would take the opportunity to release my short story “The Disappearance of Josie Andrew” to Amazon for you kindle users out there–complete with a revamped cover image. (It’s already on Smashwords and all the places SW distributes to for all those other reader-types). DJA is a […]
