Room to Roar

September 17, 2015

This one’s been echoing in my skull all the day.  I have to say it’s just the sort of song you need to get you out of bed in the morning. This is “Give Us Room to Roar” by Ruth MacKenzie, from her album Kalevala: Dream of the Salmon Maiden.  I can’t seem to find out […]

Staying Busy

September 17, 2015

I seem to be having a busy week, with little time for posting here or indeed anywhere.  If I weren’t actually accomplishing stuff, I’d probably be annoyed. Please enjoy this picture of some 3500-year-old martial artists engaging in their daily practice.  Remember: exercise keeps you young!

Refugee Mario

September 13, 2015

So when I was a young, callous person, I designed a board game called The An Loc Survival Game. An Loc, for the young folks among you, was a town in Vietnam that was the centerpiece of a 66-day battle of mutual annihilation between North and South Vietnamese forces, the latter assisted by insane amounts of […]

Six of One

September 7, 2015

Something old Something new Six brand-new books Just for you I am insanely pleased to announce that I’ve sold six new books, three each to two different publishers. “Something old” would be three new books in the Praxis series, sold to David Pomerico at HarperCollins.  Readers have been wanting more of Martinez and Sula, and […]

Catching the Wind

September 5, 2015

Welcome to a world of wind and bone, songs and silence, betrayal and courage . . .  I am beyond pleased to note that Fran Wilde— Taos Toolbox 2012— has sold her first novel Updraft to Tor, and that it’s now out to rave reviews. The book was also workshopped at Toolbox, so I’d like to […]

Even More of Me

September 3, 2015

I’m pleased to report that I’ll be teaching at the 2016 Paradise Lost workshop, held April 28-May 1 in San Antonio, Tx.  My fellow teachers include Jaye Wells and new writer (and Taos Toolbox graduate) Fran Wilde. I taught at this workshop a couple years ago and had a great time, and I think the […]

The Persistence of Music

September 1, 2015

Bubonicon was fun, and I was fully engaged with panels, signing, reading, and hanging out with friends; but I came back with a bad cold, so the last couple days have been devoted to coughing, sneezing, gurgling, and swilling down cold meds. Possibly because I’ve been taking it easy and staying away from distractions, I’ve […]

Looking Up

August 25, 2015

Things are looking up, so here’s a view upward, in a photo I took in York Minster some years ago. The rest of the week is going to be very busy, and culminate in Bubonicon 47, New Mexico’s annual science fiction convention, where I shall be in attendance, and (judging by the schedule) rather occupied. […]

C’est Moi!

August 23, 2015

I should actually use a Finnish translation of “c’est moi,” but apparently this sentiment cannot be expressed in Finnish, at least according to every Finnish online dictionary in existence.   The closest I can get is “I’m here,” and I think you already know that I’m here, so there seems little point in announcing it.

In the Giving Vein

August 20, 2015

It’s not enough that I’ve dropped the price of Angel Station to 99 cents.  No!  I’m far more generous than that! I want you all to be happy, so I’ve now dropped the price of my Nebula-winning “Daddy’s World” to zero.  Yes, it’s free! Download it on Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Kobo, iBook, Smashwords, and/or Google […]
