More good stuff coming in about my novelette “Following Jules.” SFRevu says: This was a beautiful story about love. I’ll take it. [grin] # Without going into specifics, it’s been a very long month. My pure output has dwindled, and I’ve lost momentum on the projects I had in the pipeline. Oh, it’s okay, of […]

Read More ...Pausing for a Commercial Break
Sorry for the raw commercialism of this post, but when it rains it pours. Okay, I admit I’m only a little sorry for it.

Read More ...A.J.
Amy Sterling Casil writes a remarkable memory of A.J. Budrys. And, yes, I do remember her confusion over A.J.’s commentary one year. And yes, she has a rare gift. I felt A.J. was pretty rough with my work my first year at WotF until very late in that week. He dismissed a piece of mine […]

Read More ...Stacking Up
As I noted previously on Facebook, I see that Barb Galler-Smith has announced that the new issue of On Spec is out, complete with an interview of me and my story “Operation Hercules.” OH is your basic dinosaur in World War II story, and is a favorite of mine for a few reasons. Needless to […]
