So there’s a meme goin’ round, with writers talking about their upcoming books, and tagging other writers, and all of us answer the same  questions. My pal Ian Tregellis (whose got TWO books coming out in 2013, one that completes his very cool Milkweed Trilogy about super-soldier psionics versus warlocks in World War II and […]


So a new story of mine is in this audio anthology called RIP-OFF! by Audible.com, edited by Gardner Dozois, and coming out Dec. 18 2012, just in time for Groundhog’s Day. And you, my friend, can pick the cover. Below are the three choices, but you can vote on Facebook here.  And if you’re in the […]


A quick update: Today PodCastle just released episode 230, which is a reading of the title story from my collection Unpossible and Other Stories. It’s a lovely reading, but stay for editor Dave Thomas’ lovely essay at the end. And as always, it’s all free at PodCastle!


Geffen Awards

02Oct12

I got an email tonight from Rani Graff of Graff Publishing, my publisher in Israel, reminding me that this is the week of the Geffen Awards– and the Hebrew version of my first novel, Pandemonium, is up for Best Translated Book. It should also be up for Best Cover Ever, but evidently they don’t have […]


I’ve been away. Mostly writing, writing hard, like a veritable pony express rider — nay, Pony Express Writer. Bringing the words ‘cross the plains, people.  Soon — after contracts have been signed, etc. — I’ll be able to explain what I’ve been working on. But meanwhile, can I talk about my website redesign? I hired […]

Planet of the Apes #10 is out in stores this week, and Carlos Magno, the genius behind the artwork, just KILLS IT in this issue. There’s a huge battle, and Carlos crams the pages with awesomeness.  Dafna Pleban, our editor on the book, just posted one of the panels, which spans two pages.  She then […]

So Deb Coates (a pal and fantastic writer who has her first novel coming out next year), was browsing Huffington Post, and came across this article, reposted from Flavorwire: “The Most Criminally Overlooked Books of 2011.” And hey, Unpossible and Other Stories is on the list! I’m flattered, but now I feel weird, because I think this […]


Tomorrow I leave for my favorite con, the World Fantasy Convention in San Diego. I’ve got a couple cool things planned, most of them involving eating and drinking with good friends. SO looking forward to this. At the con we’ll be launching Unpossible and Other Stories, my first collection of short stories, including two never-before-published […]
