July 22nd 2008 at 5:24 am

It’s official.  READING THE WIND is available today.  Even better, at least at the moment, it’s paired with a book by Karl Shroeder as the special.  That’s cool (I’m a fan of Karl’s work – I found him way back at Ventus, which I think was his first novel.  Unfortunatley, I now have a pile [...]

Three Gifts from Far Away

February 21st 2008 at 7:04 pm

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.

“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.
