Now I can tell you a secret I’ve been sitting on for weeks. Two secrets, really. My story, “Red Letter Day,” won the AnLab Award for Best Short Story. AnLab is Analog Magazine’s Readers Choice Award. “Red Letter Day” is a stand-alone story about time travel. My novella, “Becoming One With the Ghosts,” won the Asimov’s Readers Choice Award for Best Novella. “Becoming One With […]
News About Diving Stories
First, Asimov’s has just published “Becalmed,” which is set in the Diving Universe. The story involves a character who appears for about a chapter in the upcoming City of Ruins from Pyr.

The Mid-Month Novel Excerpt: Diving Into the Wreck
Once per month, I’ll post an excerpt from a published novel of mine and hope that you’ll be intrigued enough to find the rest of the book.

I completed banking forms, and then I completed taxation forms. I visited the bank, was on the phone with the same bank’s 800 number, and I made lists, lists, […]
Two new e-book collections
Because I was teaching last week and madly finishing up a novel (which I’m still working on), I got behind in posting the new electronic stories. WMG Publishing is reprinting my entire backlist of short stories in electronic editions, and WMG’s imprint, Five Story Publishing, is publishing groups of those stories by theme in collections. The collections are economical, cheaper than buying the stories individually. […]
