My latest story, “Playing With Reality,” has just appeared in Asimov’s October/November issue, with lots of other wonderful fiction. I personally can’t wait to dig into the issue. The writers I know in this volume are favorites, and I suspect the writers I don’t know will be new favorites. I love what editor Sheila Williams is doing with the magazine. Anyway, my story is dedicated to […]
Free Stories and More
Too much news to keep up with on these pages, but I’ll do my best. WMG Publishing is providing two different free fiction pieces every week. One is a serialization of my novel, Spree. The third installment hit today. All the previous chapters will remain on the site, so you can catch up if you’re behind. The other fiction piece is a free story every Friday. Some […]
Special Holiday Recommended Reading List 2012
I generally post my recommended reading list a month or three after I’ve done the reading. Which means that all of the holiday stories that I read get recommended in January or February. Last year, I decided to do a compilation of past holiday recommends so that you can get them for the appropriate season, and it worked so well that I’m doing it again […]
City of Ruins Wins The Endeavour Award!!!!
I am thrilled to announce that my novel, City of Ruins, has won the Endeavor Award for the Best Science Fiction or Fantasy novel published by a Pacific Northwest Writer. I was in great company this year. Patricia Briggs, Kendare Blake, Daniel H. Wilson, and Dave Duncan were nominated as well. I wasn’t able to attend, but the marvelous John Lorentz picked it up for me. […]
The Business Rusch: Perfection
Last week, I mentioned the blog post I had started, but decided not to publish in the midst of a busy workshop. Here it is: At every craft workshop I teach, I make at least one writer cry. This week, I’m teaching a short story workshop for professional writers. These are workshop-hardened folk, people who have been eviscerated by the best of them, people who […]
Recommended Reading List: November 2011
I’m doing my best to catch up on the Recommended Reading lists, so that I can be on schedule in 2012. Here’s the good stuff I read in November. All that you read down there, I wrote in November itself (or early December). *** I wish I could say that things settled down more in November. They didn’t, really. Thanksgiving snuck up on us. As […]
The Voodoo Project
I have a new science fiction story, “The Voodoo Project,” in the February Asimov’s. The issue itself is fantastic. I got an early copy and immediately read it cover to cover. You can find Asimov’s at your local newsstand, in all the e-bookstores, or you can order it on the website through this link. Enjoy!
Recommended Reading List: July 2011
I am late on the Recommended Reading. For those of you who’ve been waiting for it, sorry! My life has been beyond hectic since mid-August. The RRL takes time to put up, with all the links, and I don’t have a regularly scheduled day, so I keep putting it off. I should really have an RRL day. I’ll think about that…tomorrow. 🙂 Here’s July’s! Enjoy. […]
