Martin H. Greenberg
Tough weekend. On Friday, John Helfers of Tekno Books called to give Dean and I a heads-up that Marty Greenberg was in his last few days. We had known that Marty was fighting a lot of health problems, so this wasn’t a surprise. Yet it was a surprise. Marty was one of those giants, men that seemed amazingly strong no matter what. He was a presence, and the thought of him no longer being present was hard to bear. I’ve been teaching a short story workshop, which is appropriate, since Marty’s Tekno Books has published more of my short fiction than any place else, and Marty has been a huge supporter of my work for decades. But he’s also been a friend just as long. I went to class with a heavy … Read entire article »

Mid-Month Novel Excerpt: Traitors
Once per month, I’ll publish an excerpt of one of my novels, and I hope you’ll be intrigued enough to buy the rest of the book. I began this practice in February. Unlike the free fiction I put up every Monday, the novel excerpts will remain on the site. If you want to read the opening to the previous four novels, click here. This month, I’ve decided to excerpt Traitors. Traitors is the third novel I ever published, and I still remember the joy I felt in writing it. About the book, Locus Magazine said, “Intelligent, complex…an enjoyable fantasy that presents sociological commentary in the manner of a Le Guin SF novel.” SF Chronicle added, “An entertaining mix of intrigue, assassination, troubled loyalties and political rivalries.” I’ve put ordering information at the end of the … Read entire article »

The Business Rusch: A Special Post For Writers With Agents
I’m deep into the post for Thursday and realized I don’t have the space for the information I’m going to put here. So this is a special midweek post for writers with agents. It’s a follow-up to the “Surviving the Transition” posts. The Passive Guy, who is a retired attorney, is doing a series of posts on the agency clauses in publishing contracts. He has two as of this writing. The first is on the agency clause in general. The second is on the clause that has this wording: “agency coupled with an interest.” If you have an agent, please read these two posts even if you think you understand the agency clause. It is my experience that most writers do not understand what they’re signing in their book contracts, and … Read entire article »
