Meanwhile, in an Alternate Present

November 15, 2014

While I was abroad I had a story published and didn’t know it.  My story “Road Kill” is now available in the the latest Wild Cards collection, Lowball, edited by George RR Martin and Melinda Snodgrass. Pretty nifty cover, ne? If you’re unfamiliar with the Wild Cards universe, I’d suggest that you not start with this one, […]

Listen to Me Talk For A Whole Hour, Nearly

November 14, 2014

This week I was on the John Mac Radio Show, and I talked for nearly an hour.  If this is of interest, I urge you to check it out. I was late in turning up for my own interview, so there’s a certain amount of vamping at the start, for which I apologize.

October 31, 2014

I’m heavily programmed, but then I got a free trip to France so I can hardly complain.  In any case, I’ll either be working or having fun, and unlikely to be composing any thoughtful essays in this space. Have […]

City of Corsairs

October 28, 2014

We are in Saint-Malo, a Breton walled city completely rebuilt after being destroyed by George Patton in 1944.  (They named a street after him anyway.) Saint-Malo was famous for Duguay-Trouin and other privateers who made fortunes by plundering the British merchant marine, and also as the home of Jacques Cartier, who left here to “discover” […]

  You really can’t take a bad picture of it.  No bad angles at all.

Load Up For All Saints’ Day

October 26, 2014

Part Four of the Hardwired serial released on November 1, which happens to be All Saints’ Day, but you can pre-order it via iBooks, Amazon, Kobo, and Smashwords!  It will be available via Barnes & Noble as well, but they won’t give me a link to it until the day of release, because . . . […]

Calling the Fire Brigade

October 24, 2014

I see that Private John Steel is still hanging from the church steeple at Ste.-Mère-Église.  Can someone please cut him down?
