Ribless

December 25, 2020

Isn’t there a song titled “Have Yourself a Lonely Little Christmas?”  Maybe there ought to be. With Kathy still in Albany, I’m flying solo for the holidays.  I haven’t put out decorations, raised a tree, sent cards, or even bought presents for anyone, but I’m doing my best to raise a bit of cheer.  Right […]

One 9/11 Per Day

December 24, 2020

Hey, does anybody remember that when 9/11 happened, people got really shocked and upset and angry?  The towers were smoking ruins, nearly 3000 people died, “United We Stand” banners appeared everywhere, and we invaded a couple of countries at the cost of hundreds of billions of dollars. Well, guess what?  A 9/11 death toll happens […]

Updated!

December 14, 2020

I’ve updated my interview page, adding links to every interview I could track down over the last years, including one in Finnish and another on Swedish-language radio.  The interviews were all listed on the blog when they first appeared, but now they’re all in one place.

Speaking to Excess

December 9, 2020

    Suddenly there is a lot more of me out in the aether than there was a couple days ago.  Perhaps more of me than you actually want, but if you ration yourself a little, at least I won’t be taking up your whole day. First up, a brief Q&A with Deborah Kalb. Next, […]

Not Present

December 5, 2020

I haven’t been present here much, and for the most discouraging of reasons. About four weeks ago, Kathy’s younger sister Alice Emigh went into the hospital with a dreadful illness (not Covid).  Kathy flew East to be with her, but New York got new lockdown rules, and Kathy wasn’t allowed into the hospital to see […]

New and Better Than Ever!

November 17, 2020

The acknowedleged inspiration for the games Cyberpunk Red and Cyberpunk 2077, my novel Hardwired has been re-released in its Thirtieth Anniversary Edition.  My most popular SF novel now has new content, essays about the novel’s origins, another essay about the bizarre first German edition, plus a spiffier cover.
