You can see me, Cherie Priest, and John Scalzi all interviewed on video over at Cult Pop. Jim Hall caught up to us while we were all at Penguicon in April.
Never Thought I’d See My Blurbs Critiqued
July 22nd 2010 at 10:58 pm
Of course, there is an alternate possibility: I may just have really and honestly enjoyed the book that much. As someone with ADHD, the book in question resonated *very* strongly with me.
Mid Career Advice
July 22nd 2010 at 4:10 pm
I noticed Jay Lake pointing out discussions about the lack of mid career advice online. I think he does point out a good reason for the relative sparsity of that sort of advice: Â …how can someone dispensing generic advice on the Internet address my issues as a mid-career writer? The further along I get [...]
Small World Redux
July 14th 2010 at 11:19 pm
I remember Tiphanie Yanique as a fellow classmate in high school in St. Thomas. She’s also heavily involved in the writer’s life, a collection of her short fiction “How to Escape from a Leper Colony” was just reviewed by Caribbean Review of Books, who said this about the collection: In this way the stories grow [...]

Crystal Rain: French Edition
July 8th 2010 at 1:15 pm
The French edition of Crystal Rain is out. I dig what they did with the cover, as you can see Todd Lockwood’s entire spread. Plus, I find books with solid color separations kinda classy (I was the biggest fan of the hardcover look for Karl Schroeder’s latest books due to that) . Can’t wait until [...]
The Alchemist and The Executioness available today at Audible!
July 6th 2010 at 1:09 pm
The Alchemist and The Executioness is now available! It is two novellas, one written by me, another by Paolo Bacigalupi, put together back to back (like the old Ace doubles) to create a larger project that is about as long as a short novel. Both novellas share the same background. We created a world, characters, [...]
