A standalone Diving book! Yep, if you haven’t read the series, you’ll be able to read this novel. It’s a legal thriller space opera, and wow, did I have fun writing it. The book won’t officially appear until June, but you can get an early copy of either the ebook or the paper edition if you back the Kickstarter. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/403649867/the-new-diving-novel I’ll have more news on […]
Free Fiction Monday: Hunches
The Fleet designed the new SC-Class ships with an impenetrable bridge. The most protected spot on the ship. Right in the center. So, when Lieutenant Balázs Jicha realizes the bridge of the Izlovchi now opens to space, he fights to remember what happened. And what to do next. Jicha always follows his hunches. Now, he must rely on those hunches to help him save his […]
Updates On Projects and Sales
Just signed a contract for the new Diving novel. It’ll be serialized in Asimov’s some time next year. The novel is called The Courtmartial of The Renegat Renegades. Yep, more Renegat stories. And to think that should’ve been a novella. Whoops. We’ll put it out through WMG later in 2023. And maybe a few other Diving things as well. Yes, I’m being mysterious. I’ve been […]
Business Musings: Buried (A Process Blog)
I am deliciously buried in work, and it is my own damn fault. I decided in the spring that I would take two classes per semester, because I need to think about things other than writing to help my writing. Otherwise, I get too lost in writing/publishing/reading to be fresh and creative. Trust me, the two classes are working for me. Spanish inspires me to […]
Conundrums, Kickstarter, Bundles and an Anniversary
Here’s something fun. Deliberately fun. I wrote a novel in the deepest darkest time of 2020, the horrid winter where everything seemed bleak. I wanted to escape, so I wrote about old friends and good times at a 1990s-style sf convention…with some crime on the side. You see, my characters Spade and Paladin solve crimes at sf conventions. Until now, Spade and Paladin only appeared […]
Cosmic Visionaries…and Half-Off
I’m in a new Storybundle! It features all kinds of fun Space Opera. I just read Dean’s novella, which is exclusive, and it’s wonderful. You can also get my novella Maelstrom, which is in the Diving universe, as well as a completely fun anthology of 1970s-type sf (with an introduction by Barbara Bain of Space: 1999, which I used to watch religiously). Head over to […]
An Amazing Achievement
Our small publishing company pulled off the impossible so far in 2021. Through July, they have published 91 books. (With 50 or so scheduled for the second half of the year.) This is a wonderful achievement. All of the books are well designed and properly promoted. Allyson Longueira and her small team accomplished that on the one-day-at-a-time model. I’m so impressed with them. And that […]
Kickstarter Enters Its Final Hours
I just wanted to let you all know that the Kickstarter for the new Diving novel, The Chase, entered its hourly countdown on Kickstarter. That’s Kickstarter’s way of telling us all that time is running out. As I write this, there’s about 50 hours left. Everyone who backs at the $5 level and above will get the new book, as well as everything from the […]
Fun Stuff…With Deadlines
So much to tell you about that I won’t get to all of it. First, though, all of the Colliding Worlds books are out! Six science fiction collections, featuring 20 short stories in each book. Ten of the stories are from me and ten are by Dean. We had a blast putting these together. The books were the subject of a successful Kickstarter earlier this […]
