Awards, Stories, and a Cool Italian Cover

First, some really exciting news! The Courtmartial of the Renegat Renegades is a finalist for the Asimov’s Readers Choice Awards in the novella category, and “Rocket Girls,” is up for best novelette! I’m really thrilled. (And super thrilled about Rocket Girls, since it’s a personal favorite). The other writers in my category are amazing, from Rick Wilber, Sean Monaghan, and Nick Wolven in the novella […]

I’m so excited that you’ll all get to read The Kirilli Matter: The First Book of The Qavnarian Protectorate. What is the Protectorate? Well, it’s in the Fey world, on Dorovich, and I’m not going to tell you much more than that…except to say that yes, this book has Fey in it, and yes, you’ll understand more when you read. If you’ve never read any […]

First of The Year News

It has been a very busy start to the year. I just finished teaching an in-person workshop, which we held at Resorts World. It’s a lovely venue (unlike the Golden Nugget), and we had a great time. I’m hoping the students enjoyed it as much as I did. I’m teaching two more workshops there this year—one in May and one in July—which you can find […]

This year, we finally found the branding that we’ve been searching for, by bringing in well-known cover artist Bob Giordano to do the covers…of all of the books, even the ones that appeared in previous years. This year’s stories are […]

Two were posted to Patreon for the other supporters to see, and one of those comments got me thinking. The long post, “Searching For a Sense of Urgency,” focuses on the […]

Recommended Reading List: August, 2022

I finished a book by an author I love at the start of the month, then spent two weeks trying to decide if I want to recommend it. The book doesn’t really work. She left out depth entirely, so all we had were these great characters (related to other great characters of hers). She had experimented with something difficult and didn’t quite pull it off. […]
