Mayan Summer Now Available Online

My story, Mayan Summer, just went up in the online magazine Khimairal Ink. It’s a lovely literary, feminist magazine that I like a lot, so I was pleased they took this story. The Yucatan Penninsula is a fabulous place where it’s easy to imagine magic coming alive. This is a seed story for my novel [...]

The Small Joys of Writing

I have a short work coming out in Mallorn, which is the newlstter for the Tolkien society. The story started as an exercise in a workshop I took at Hugo House in Seattle (with Charles deLint), and only changed a little before I sent it off to Henry Gee, who is the new editor for [...]

Futures from Nature is Out

I have a story in it – there are a hundred of them. On the way home on the bus today, I got to read a few of the stories…very nice. I’m looking forward to the rest of it. The table of contents is great – Greg Bear, Artur C. Clark, Gregory Benford, Nancy Kress, [...]

Google’s Winning Moon Madness

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 suggesting unmanned craft, [...]

Things Sneak up on You

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 on [...]

Alien Graveyards sold to Alien Skin magazine

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

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 rewards good [...]

Nice Review of Short Story

Purple Pens has a nice review of my story, Horses of the High Hills, which appeared in Children of Magic, edited by Kerrie Hughes (DAW).

Fast Forward 1 Available

Fast Forward 1 is an anthology edited by Lou Anders at Pyr. Larry Niven and I have a story in the anthology. Overall, the table of contents is fantastic. I’ve only worked my way through a few of the stories, and am really looking forward to finding time to read them all. The anthology has [...]

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

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.
