Readings, Columns, and Interviews

July 4th 2011 at 7:20 am

I got to read at Tuesday Funk while in Chicago week-before-last.  This is thanks to Bill Shunn.  One the web now:  recordings of most of the readers.  I highly recommend dropping in to watch a few – and don’t miss Bill’s poem.  It’s short and sweet and he reads very well.  If you want to [...]

Good Things in Threes

July 28th 2010 at 5:49 pm

Most days, I still feel pretty invisible.  I’m certainly not a famous science fiction writer, and no geek household name like Cory Doctorow or Charlie Stross that gets thrown around the interwebs regularly. But today is a very pleasant writer/futurist day from the point of being engaged in the bigger community conversation. ABCnews included quotes [...]

Coming Events

June 14th 2010 at 5:48 am

I’ve missed mentioning multiple appearences of me and/or my work: The story, “My Father’s Singularity” is up at Clarkesworld in issue #45.  Note that I share this issue with delightful Nina Kiriki Hoffman and her story is excellent.  Two science fiction stories written by women in one issue, and in what is becoming the premiere [...]

Thanks Tony C. Smith

November 20th 2009 at 12:15 pm

I had a great time guesting on a podcast called “Sofanauts” hosted by Tony C. Smith.  The other guest was Richard Morgan, and I’m going to go off and buy his book Altered Carbon today.  Richard impressed me quite a bit.  I got tongue tied a few times not knowing much about the state of [...]

Various useful webbishry

October 22nd 2009 at 8:40 pm

First, Seattle Geekly does a great podcast.  As I’m sure you can guess, they talk about all things Seattle that would interest the slightly more – well, geekly (gaming, conventions, science fiction and fantasy, anime, steampunk, other local events).  I listen in when I get time.  Even better, I visited them last week and we [...]

Interview with Annie Tupek

October 4th 2009 at 5:49 pm

I met Annie Tupek at the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association. I liked her immediately.  She looked curious and happy to be there and interested in the presentations.  We had something in common:  Alaska.  Now, I’ve only been there once.  But it pretty much knocked my socks off – it’s a really pretty place.  And I [...]

Year’s Best SF 28 Out!

Recent interviews on the web

I had two really fun interviews come out recently.  They can be found at:

Heidi Ruby Miller’s Pick Six

MilSciFi interview relating to my story, “Cracking the Sky” in the No Man’s Land anthology

In an Iron Cage now available at Amazon

This is a fun Steampunk anthology from Dark Quest Books.  My story is set in the Yucatan Peninsula, between the two time-lines of Mayan December.  Drop by and pick one up!  This is the ebook version, a print version will be out soon as well.

“Cracking the Sky” will be out in May in the anthology “No Man’s Land.”

This story was inspired by a trip to the Army’s TRADOC Mad Scientist conference last year.  No Man’s Land is a military science fiction anthology written entirely by women.  NEWS:  It can now be pre-ordered at Amazon.com.

Mayan December now available at Amazon

What do an ancient shaman, a modern-day scientist, a computer nerd in dreadlocks, and an eleven-year-old girl have in common? Join these adventurers as they traverse the Yucatan peninsula – and time itself – in a search for the meaning of life.  Oh, and for jaguars.
Mayan December is now available for pre-order on Amazon.com.

“The Hebras and the Demons and the Damned” picked for Year’s Best SF #16.

This is an adventure story set on Fremont, the colony planet that serves as the setting for The Silver Ship and the Sea. I loved writing this story, and I’m really happy that the Hartwell’s liked it for this anthology.
