Today’s Tomorrows: First Column now live at Futurismic
I’m really pleased to announce the very first edition of my new column at Futurismic is posted now. Today’s Tomorrows takes a single topic and looks at through a science and a science fictional lens. This time, I took on a favorite sfnal trope of mine: Artificial Intelligence. As usual, the universe gave me a [...]
In Which I am Included in the SFSignal Mind Meld
The Mind Meld over at SFSignal is a fun little exercise. I first noticed the one they did on women science fiction writers (well, I wonder why?). Anyway, I’m included in the newest one, which is about what books we recommend to people who aren’t usually science fiction and fantasy writers. Go on over there [...]
Updates on Social Tools for Writers
About a month ago, I posted about using social tools for marketing and connecting with folks. This post is an update to the earlier post on the topic. Then, I said I wanted to learn these tools and figure out how to use them to help me market and be present on the Internet in [...]
Me on Video on Futurist.com (and Amy, and Kanna, and Glen)
I think they came out OK. Whoever likes how they look on camera? But I said the right stuff….and since this was first for this kind of sit-down video, I now know not to nod so much and to curl my hair…..

First, this is a very pretty place. Spring is just beginning to touch an ecosystem still shrouded in winter. Even just this morning, a dusting of snow fell on the far hills across the lake, like white sugar dropped onto the dark green trees. The picture there shows some swelling new buds, and here and [...]
Ken’s Reading a Grand Success
All three of us went out to Third Place Books yesterday for Ken Scholes’ reading of Lamentation. It’s a very wonderful book, and it was fun to listen to him read it. Also, as I sat there, I realized that the book could do with more than one read. I caught a lot of details [...]
A Good Mood Helps
One of my staff asked me today if there was any good news at all. Our budget at work is bleak, and so was the economic forecast on the news today. My own morning writing pages had me wondering if the people in the 30′s felt the fall into the Great Depression like we are [...]
I have my copies of Lamentation, by Ken Scholes
Beautiful book! I have an ARC, which I read and recommended, but now I have the real thing. Nicely done, Tor! And Ken, of course. Best of all, the books aren’t coming out once every two or three or four years – they plan to clip through them. The world is fabulous and complex, and [...]
