As The Knee Bends . . .

June 6, 2013

Kathy’s home from the hospital a mere two days after the knee replacement, and is getting along well on a walker.  She’s experiencing little to no pain, and was the star of her physical therapy class. Thanks to all of you who expressed your good wishes.  No doubt she’ll thank you herself very soon now.

For Wild Cards Fans

June 6, 2013

I’ve been remiss in pointing out the recent appearance of a couple Wild Cards stories over on Tor.com.  These were both edited by George RR Martin, and they are free.  Free as in, y’know, just click and read.

Piña Coladas. Five Cents.

June 4, 2013

Kathy underwent knee replacement surgery this morning.  Which means either that posting here will be scarce, or that I’ll be posting a lot, since I’ll be sitting in a hospital room with a keyboard in front of me and little else to do.

Toolbox Scores Again!

May 19, 2013

I’m going up the mountain for the next week, and so posting here may be a little thin. But before I go, I thought I’d pass on some good news. Alan Smale (Taos Toolbox ’11) has sold a three-book deal to Random House/Del Rey.  The first book was one he workshopped at Toolbox. And Fran […]

Passive Entertainment

May 17, 2013

While I’ve been traveling and working and livin’ large and otherwise engaged, my DVR has been recording hours and hours of stuff.  Is it worth watching?  You tell me. I have a good many episodes of Defiance stored up.  I’ve watched the first half of the pilot, in which high production values were matched with an […]
