I have a lot of news, and some of it is buried inside this Kickstarter that just went live. You see…due to the intransigence of the new owners at the sf digest magazines (as well as the mystery magazines), I can no longer send them my short fiction. I actually had to pull some stories […]

I’m still catching up on the Recommended Reading Lists for 2024. After August, I have to finish September’s (and December, of course), and then I’ll be caught up! Yay! I remember August better than I remember July. (Whew.) We held a successful anthology workshop. We learned a lot. We made a lot of progress on […]

As we do every January, Dean and I are participating in Kickstarter’s Make 100 Project. This year, we put together five big thick books with stories from our various series. Each of us has 10 stories in each book, and all of the stories are great introductions to the series that we write. I have […]

I don’t often talk about the awards I’ve won or the successes I’ve had. Often, that’s because I’m deep in my own head, writing the next story. But I usually do take the time to say thank you. This past year has been so crazy that it took Dean to remind me that I hadn’t […]

I started the Holiday Recommended Reading List when I realized that I point out all the great holiday stories in January, after the season has passed. I am always a month behind in reporting what I read, and that will continue as I catch up on the Recommended Reading List. I got behind this year, […]

Here’s something fun. My award-nominated novella, “Maelstrom,” is in a Storybundle with eight other space opera ebooks. It may look like there’s only eight books here, but really, there are entire series bundled into some of these ebooks. You can get them all with a simple click. But they go away in about 48 hours.

Asimov’s Science Fiction has just published my story, “Last Thursday.” Honestly, I love this story. It was fun and cathartic to write. I’m also with great company in the volume. From a novella by Michèle Laframboise to poetry by Bruce Boston, the writers in this issue are stellar (pun intended). So pick up your copy […]

I read a lot of books in January, but don’t have as many to recommend as I would have thought. I started one bestseller’s novel and quit because I knew exactly where it was going. (I glanced ahead, and yep. On rails.) I read another and was quite irritated because it didn’t do anything new […]

And it came early in my career…as these things do. Acclaim often happens to a new voice because it so stuns the readers that everyone pays attention. They did so with Gallery of His Dreams, which was a cover story for Asimov’s (my first there), and a limited edition and a many-times reprint. It got […]

…to this day. I was, in the parlance of children, eight-and-a-half. Apollo 8 had left Earth’s orbit and was the first crewed spaceflight to fly to the Moon. They orbited 10 times. What I remember the most, though, was their travel to “the backside” of the Moon. Their signal would cut out. The first time […]
