Google’s Winning Moon Madness

September 14th 2007 at 6:27 am

The space enthusiast in me is really pleased with Google this week, as they’ve announced a prize for getting commercial craft developed to land on the moon. In this case, read that as real people instead of big government. They also picked a nice spot — the moon is close enough. They’re [...]

Things Sneak up on You

September 9th 2007 at 8:46 pm

I was filing papers tonight, so I took a few moments to update my list of publications, and found I have seven short stories pending publication - which might be a personal best for all at one time. And mostly, that’s the result of taking an extra month after the last book to focus [...]

Alien Graveyards sold to Alien Skin magazine

September 1st 2007 at 12:46 pm

And no, I didn’t plan it that way. The story title came before the market. But it will be a nifty home for the story. It will be in the flash fiction section, and I’ll post a link when it goes up.

A few story sales

August 3rd 2007 at 8:54 pm

Story sales come from keeping things in the mail, and from following up, and hopefully also from anthology invites. I haven’t been doing very well at keeping things in the mail the last year or so, and then a fit of good behavior came over me and I mailed out everything. The universe [...]

Books

Reading the Wind by Brenda Cooper

Reading the Wind cover image

"Brenda Cooper's newest novel is a feast of character and concept. She depicts the devastation of war on microcosmic and macrocosmic levels, and even more so, the driving motives of young men and women caught in deadly conflict. Cooper is a master explorer of the interaction of society and individuals. She probes the psychology of her genetically enhanced characters with both rare depth and fidelity to scientific plausibility. Moral conundrums drive the plot in this unforgettable narrative. Don't miss this compelling work by a major new talent." - Mary A. Turzillo, An Old-Fashioned Martian Girl.

"Brenda Cooper tells a tale of a powerful brother and sister in a fight for their lives, offering insights along the way into the nature of courage and the hunger for community that burns in every human being. This is a lively book, full of colorful images and a memorable cast of human and animal characters, a worthy successor to The Silver Ship and the Sea." - Louise Marley

Available in July, 2008, from Tor Books.

The Silver Ship and the Sea by Brenda Cooper
